How to transfer files from my voice recorder to my pc without a usb cable

Question

I have a digital rca voice recorder and I want to transfer a recording to the computer. The recorder only has a headphone and a microphone jack though, no usb jack or anything. I was told that its possible to use a double sided headphone wire to plug one into the headphone and the other end into the microphone jack in my computer to get it to play. But I don't know if this is true and if it is, I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Answer 1

yes it is true but the "LINE IN" jack Would be the best if your sound card has that input. So basically get that double sided cable open windows recorder for a lack of a better software and press record in the pc program then play on your recorder, adjust levels if they are too strong/low.
