Donald,

You are correct. But since digital recorders record at a frequency of 
11 KHz there is absolutely no way you can achieve the same accuracy 
as with a headset. At best--with a lot of time and effort-- your 
accuracy with a digital recorder will be between 90 and 95%. You will 
never exceed 95%. Indeed, many may never even reach it. A separate 
profile is also a must for best results.

Are digital recorders useful? yes, but the are not as accurate.
