Abstract
When recording digital data corresponding to a voice signal, a voice data recording and reproducing apparatus generates an error correction code and records this code together with the digital data in semiconductor memory. When transferring the digital data to the PC, a system control section in the voice data recording and reproducing apparatus transmits voice data including the error correction code without performing error correction. The system control section provides a lower data processing capability than that of a PC's CPU. The PC's CPU having a higher data processing capability performs error correction of the voice data by using the error correction code included in the received voice data.
