I frequently receive transcription jobs which using Sony Digital Voice Editor 2. Unfortunately, due to poor recording quality, my transcription results getting imperfect. Anybody know how to improve the quality of the DVF file, to produce audible sound for this transcription purpose?

Thank you in advance.
