  1. Bought device to record conversation in meeting. Did not think would pick up other person’s statements. Recording device was in side pocket of purse by me and on floor–in front of large wooden desk about 9-10 ft away from the other person. Obviously I am heard well, but can hear other person clearly when volume turned up. Surprising since the desk was closed on front and sides, and other person was not a loud speaker. Do not have volume turned up before recording. Tape player can come on when picking up purse if something hits play button—luckly this happened about 2 minutes after leaving that office.

  2. muy bueno el producto, y básico

    el producto tiene buena recepción de sonido y de reproducción… y es básico ya que los datos solo se pueden sacar de allí a través de salida de microfono y se puede introcucir solo a través del microfono incorporado o a través de la entrada de mic.

    es decir, no tiene entrada ni salida de datos hacia una pc o memoria extraible, hay otras con esa capacidad un poco mas costosas. excelente

    very good product, and basic

    The product has good reception and sound reproduction … and is basic because the data can only be removed from there via microphone output and can introcucir only through the built-in microphone or through the mic input.

    ie, has no input or output data to a PC or removable memory, there are others with that ability a little more expensive. excellent

  3. This recorder is not the most sophisticated one on the market, but it does the job very well. I needed a basic recorder and this one is just that. The recordings are clear, even when the speaker is not a loud speaker. As long as you do not need to be able to load your recordings onto a computer, this recorder will be quite efficient for recording lectures, conversations, or what ever else you need the device for.

  4. I know I have to do this justice because I’ve been looking for a decent review of this product for the last hour. This is my first digital audio recorder and it’s pretty amazing this simple gadget has so many functions.

    I like the VOR function where it will automatically stop recording once the person stops talking. I’m using this for audio dictation so it’s useful when the person talking will pause. It also has 534 hours of recording time which is much more than I can use but happy to have access to. For a first time user, this rocks because I used to use tapes and they suck. Now that I’ve gone digital I can have access to clear audio with all the cool functions I may need.

    I promised I wouldn’t go crazy over a fancy one because my needs were very basic and it didn’t justify to over $100 price range.

    The only drawback was lack of a USB port to connect to my computer but in fact I don’t need it because I’m using it for my own dictation which do not demand a audio to text application. Also, the audio does not need to be shared through a digital file.

    Overall, if you are looking for a budget recorder and don’t want to buy into the salesman upselling you, then go for this one. You will not be disappointed.
