I have a digital voice recorder I got for christmas. It's a RCA digital voice recorder. You can't plug it in to the computer. It has voice activation which you can adjust and turn on or off. Could I pick up "voices" in my trailer? How long would it take for me to get anything?

There are some important factors to recording voices, so please consider the following:
* The amount of wind, breeze, brushing an object against the recorder CAN distort sounds, making them sound ghostly. These are not ghostly voices, but misinteperations of ordinary sounds.
* EVP recorders are designed for capturing ghostly voices. They apparently are able to pick up voices too low for anyone to hear. Your recorder (if it allows it) can be plugged into or transferred to a cassette/playback device - allowing you to hear very low/quiet noises. An amplifer can be used to make the recording more 'audible' (although I don't recommend this because it can distort sound).
* If you catch anything which doesn't SOUND normal, before jumping to any conclusions - be sure to check for logical reasons OR to check a sound specialist.
* You may not pick up any noises or voices if your home is not haunted. If you experience some ghostly acitivty in your home, using a Video camera (infrared) OR even a photographic camera (digital) WITH a tape recorder is a good way to confirm it.
* Ghostly voices are apparently not audible to the naked human ear. Recording can be a useful way of picking them up - but EVP's are better built for such tasks.
The chances of catching an actual ghostly voice on your recorder depends on the amount of activity and the strength of the ghost. In some cases, you may only need to leave the recorder for a few mintues and will be able to capture a voice - in other cases, you'll have to leave it out for at least a night - maybe longer. If you do not capture anything at all - you probably do not have a ghost to worry about OR the voices are too quiet or low to hear.
Good luck, hope this helps.

Something to keep in mind:
If you are using a regular digital recorder to capture EVPs, you will need an audio editor to filter them. The actual sounds that are recorded are much too fast for us to hear and comprehend. You will need a program that can slow the recording down, and possibly amplify the frequency, as sometimes the EVPs are much too low to hear well.

yeah u could record any voices. any voices that may be "non-human" and cannot be heard with the actual human ear will definitley appear on any type of electrical equipment...either it be evps, or any other type of paranormal equipment. in terms of how long it will take for u to catch something...i don't know, you'll just have to let time tell. also, if u wanna catch something place the recorder in a supposed haunted hot spot!

I suggest that you check out on Google the subject of 'EVP.' A number of people may think that this is silly. The first person who was famous who proposed that this might actually be possible was Thomas Edison! He is pictured and quoted in 'Scientific American' - October of 1920 I believe! Try and keep an open mind !

Probably not. Spooks don't like modern electronics, which give off RF energy. "Voice activation" won't help either -- spooks don't generally speak loudly enough to activate that.
If you're really interested in recording spooks, you need to get an old-fashioned reel-to-reel tape recorder, and some brand new tapes for it (good luck on those, I don't think they're even made any more).

Which of these ..would you pick ...? The 'Macbook-Wii-Digital Camera' sounds like a great Christmas gift, indeed.

Only yours and someone else's in the room. The recorder would probably rot before you picked up and "voices".

Well, just get someone to turn up the TV in the other room and I assure you that your little recorder will pick up voices.
Sigh...I guess I have some admiration for people like you who really want to believe in ghosts, etc. At least you guys are having good clean fun spooking the bejesus out of yourselves.

You should be able to. There are a lot of websites that have recordings on them, check them all out, they may help you more.
