Voice Activated Voice Recorder 8GB - Clear Audio Recording Device - with Battery and Data Space Indicators - 36 Hours Capacity - for Students Teachers Professionals VAR2 Silver

Now, first off - I haven't really used this device as much as I'd like to, but from the few times I HAVE used it I can safely say hand on heart that it is a fantastic little thing! It's got great battery life, it's really simple to use and the audio quality is surprisingly good considering the price! I don't have a computer so I can't say anything in regards to the audio editing software (like to eliminate background noise etc.), but I can plug it in to my smart phone with an OTG cable and review my recordings from there. It's a doddle! I think maybe even better than the product itself is the customer service that's provided, I've received a few emails saying how if there's anything I need help with to just email the company, or if I'm not entirely satisfied with it that they'll try their best to help me! If it was at all possible I'd give extra stars just for that alone. All in all, if you're looking for a cheap, easy to use voice recorder I would definitely recommend this!

This is a really simple device which records pretty good quality audio. I was able to use it at a conference where I pretty much forgot to switch it off and it continued recording for at least 10 hours (I believe it is advertised to record for 8). There are other devices at around the same price which also support playback. That wasn't important to me. Being able to upload to a computer to playback from there is fine, but for some it may make a difference which is the only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars.

Arrived next day delivery (Saturday) as required urgently. Was supposed to come with a PDF manual for installation onto Mac laptop (until it's on your computer you can't listen to the recording), but Amazon failed to send that. In the end didn't matter due to one of the two best customer service responses I've ever received! Todd and one of his colleagues in customer support at Jigmo tried to assist through 3 emails straightaway, and when I couldn't get it going from the advice in those, phoned & talked me through the process successfully then and there - and I'm talking about 9pm on a Saturday evening!! Really patient and helpful (I'm a pensioner, not a whizzkid!). Many thanks indeed guys! The device itself is extremely small and light, could easily be concealed in a pocket, and the audio quality is perfectly clear.

First let me mention my main requirement - a portable audio recorder that automatically captures sound when present, and stops when sound stops. Then repeats appending each recording. This device is the best for me, I am using it to capture sleep patterns. The device is small with internal battery and USB drive functions. Sound is good for such a small device, picking up from low sources and distances. I have not checked maximum distance but works well for me within a few metres. For anyone interested in this device I suggest you try and obtain their ebook which has specification and other info. There are 2 other key points - the price is excellent, and so is the customer service. They give the impression they want to give top service, and they do. Other companies please note.

I had this rated at 1 star before, Arcos Global Ltd went out of their way to try and solve the problem with this device and we tried a number of solutions but none worked, which was a shame. The company were quick to respond to emails and customer service was first class, well done for trying guys the effort was appreciated . I will order an other and have put this down to just bad luck. I must say the sound quality is very good and the microphone is very sensitive Good product pity about defect BUT WILL BUY ANOTHER.

The Jigmo is a great little device. So far I have used it to record seminars and also the reminiscences of my elderly uncle. Years ago I used to use a mini cassette recorder for such things (yes, I am from the Ark!) - this is much more discrete, and so far no-one has realised I was recording them. I am not particularly technical, and haven't tried doing any editing or anything as yet, but I'm sure that when I take the time to read the handy instruction book I will soon make progress on that side. The lanyards are also very handy, as the Jigmo can be attached to a belt loop to prevent loss while in use. Thoroughly recommended!

I used this once and it worked perfectly then it began showing both the red and blue lights at the same time. I can't get the recording i made, it's no longer recognised by the PC and put simply doesn't work. I wrote a review about that months ago and they urged me to 'get in touch' - I got in touch numerous times and they never bothered to respond even once. I'm sure when you get a decent product that they are fine but I wouldn't take the chance as the customer service with this company is non existent :( No doubt i'll get another message asking me to get in touch but I'd say whats the point when you don't respond?

The Item is packed nicely and it has a nice design, it worked perfeclty for me, it would be even greater if we could listen to the registrations from the item, however we always need to connect it to a PC with the USB to be able to listen to them. But the quality/price ratio is great and it is small and practical to carry.

Did not work for what I wanted the voice activation is too weak!

Qué pequeño dispositivo brillante! Muy buenas instrucciones de instalación, trabaja de inmediato. Utilizo mucho las grabadoras de voz y quedé impresionado con la adición de un indicador de batería, muy útil! Excelente servicio al cliente también. Me enviaron el manual completo por correo electrónico un día después de ordenar la grabadora y un correo electrónico de seguimiento para asegurarse de que todo estaba bien y funcionando. ¡Excepcional! Muchas gracias.

Bon évidemment, je ne l'ai pas utilisé pendant 3 mois vu que je l'ai reçu aujourd'hui. Donc, mon appréciation ne sera pas forcément très objective... Toutefois, après quelques minutes d'utilisation, je peux dire ceci : - L'appareil est livré dans un joli petit "coffret cadeau" en métal avec une fenêtre transparente qui laisse voir l'objet calé dans un bloc de mousse. On y trouve également deux dragonnes, la notice, et la garantie. - L'appareil est joli et ne fait pas plus cheap qu'une clé USB classique. - La notice est "aussi" en français, ce qui ne gâche rien. - Il y a juste deux boutons : un ON/OFF et un autre pour faire afficher à l'aide de petites LED le niveau de charge et l'espace disque utilisé. - L'appareil posé sur une table capte parfaitement tout ce qui se passe dans la pièce. - L'enregistrement est TRÈS CLAIR. - Seule précaution : vu que c'est, naturellement, du numérique, l'appareil capte TOUT. Donc, il ne faut pas le garder à la main ou le manipuler, sous peine d'enregistrer aussi un bruit de fond dérangeant. Mais à partir du moment où il est posé et qu'on l'oublie, l'enregistrement est vraiment très bon. C'en est même bluffant ! - L'effacement ou le transfert des fichiers via le PC est un vrai jeu d'enfant. - La lecture se fait simplement a partir du PC, avec n'importe quel lecteur multimédia. Moi, par exemple j'utilise BS player. Je ne manquerai pas d'effectuer un suivi de cette appréciation si, dans quelques semaines, je relève un quelconque souci. Mais pour l'instant, je le recommande vivement.

Artículo de muy buena calidad. Sirve bien su función

Très peu utilisé pour le moment,mais le rendu de l'enregistrement est Correcte assez claire Éviter de faire du bruit parasite lors de l’enregistrement
