Digital Voice Recorder 16GB Voice Recorder with Playback for Lectures - USB Rechargeable Dictaphone Upgraded Small Tape Recorder Device

This was a surprise to me... a very nice quality device, which works well, and as advertised, for about $20. The sound is adequate and understandable with the small speaker, but when you transfer the files to your computer, you can hear that they are of a very good quality. I tried both the 512kbps it is set to out of the box, and the highest 1536kbps. There does seem to be a quality improvement... and with this 16GB version, that is supposed to hold 24 hours of audio. I also tested renaming the audio files while connected to the computer, and it does allow this. Your rename shows up on the recorder's screen, as you can see in one of my pictures. This is a VERY handy feature, if you are out in the field and need to find a file. But the best thing about this is the ease of use: You flip on the slide switch, then press "record", and you are good to go. Then when you finish, you press "SAVE". The list of all your files appears and you can quickly scroll them, and play which ever you want with another press of "PLAY/PAUSE". It may sound silly to point this out, but I've used a couple of more expensive, name brand units, and I often find myself needing a refresher course in recording, saving, and playing... they make you go through so many other steps for those very simple tasks. The quality is wonderful, too... although that cheap chrome plating is something I've never like on "import" electronics. But the case seems to be metal, and nicely finished. This has a very nice feel to it, all around. As people point out, it is very small. Well I have large hands, and have no problem with it. I was also surprised to see this being used in the new Netflix production, "The Beast in Me", with Claire Danes. She plays a successful writer in the series. Clearly this is some iteration of this same device... I would have expected the choice of some super-high end recorder, but they used this one... I would imagine considering the look and quality just fine for the part. All in all, I am not only impressed with what you get for the price, but even if this was a more expensive unit, with "Sony" or "Olympus" on it, I would appreciate the quality, features, and sound.

Yes, its very small,I feel like James Bond. Secret spy,just kidding. I am old so,the functions are easy but still trying to figure them all out. I only bought it for recording phone calls. I am really not using the music feature. It would be easy to lose this recorder its small. If you leave it on it shuts off,saves battery. Its not high tech but good for 65 year old me.. I like it...

You will 100% have no complaint on the power of this little recorder. I use digital recorders for recording statements and have used many brands worth over $100. This little unit outperforms my more expensive recorders. It puts out clear recordings with no background interference. It is easy and intuitive to use. It is very small so you should keep it in the plastic carry box it comes with. The USB C connector is great so you don't have to look around for the obsolete USB A connectors. The only thing I saw that could be improved is the lighted digital display goes dim after after 10-15 seconds to save power. It made it hard for me to see the digital time counter but not impossible. That is minor and the performance outweighs that small glitch.

This recorder works incredibly well. I was skeptical because of the low price, but it works. It can even pick up soft talkers and whispering to some extent. This is perfect for recording a lecture. It's also very user friendly. I did need to skim the manual, but was up and running in a matter of a couple of minutes. I could not figure out how to get auto recording to work and the manual states that it is not recommended to use this feature. I believe the feature is probably there, but maybe not. It might have been disabled. Pros: - The manual claims it will record for 30 hours on the default settings. - Intuitive interface - Intuitive manual - Incredibly sensitive and able to pick up soft talkers and to some extent whispering - Very small. Even the videos didn't give it justice on it's size. It's tiny. Cons: - Auto record either doesn't exist or is difficult to figure out I can't speak on durability though, but I did drop it from 3 feet on to concrete the first day. Ugh, thought at that low of a price it would break, but it did not!

Not great, not awful. I got some good use out of it and it helped me understand I really like having a dedicated voice recorder, for a low investment. But eventually the USB-C data transfer function stopped working. Now, to me it's trash and I'll be buying a higher quality device. The battery does not last overnight if left on. It's slow to boot, and the menu controls are also counterintuitive. But hey, it works and its $20. Pros: very cheap, very small, totally usable audio quality for voice recording and playback. Cons: awkward menu controls, boot up time is too slow for me, battery life <8hrs even if not in use (just while on), low quality parts (failure of critical functions after a while)

My fiance got me this when I started back to college so I could record my lectures. It was the best recorder I think I've ever used for school. The clarity of sound when listening to playbacks is top notch. The mic might actually be too good because you can hear everything from someone taking their foot against their desk to someone rustling in their book bag on the other side of the room. It was kind of crazy. However, the lecture was equally easy to hear. The mic was able to pick up questions from other students who spoke quietly and were not near to where I was seated. I love the fact that if you get a micro USB to USB-C cable, you can directly download the recordings to your phone so you can use your earphones because this isn't a Bluetooth recorder (if you have a phone that has USB-C, otherwise you'd need whatever cable goes to your specific phone). I've had this recorder for a year now and it's still performing like the first day. I even got one for my daughter when she started actual college attendance. We both have ADHD, so being able to listen to lectures multiple times really helps. The other thing I love is that it is small and fits in my backpack without taking up a lot of space. It can be carried in a pocket without being noticed. I used to set it on the front of my desk at school and nobody noticed I was recording the lecture. I had a classmate that sat next to me miss class one day and asked what we covered when they came back. I asked if they'd like a copy of the lecture and even though I'd recorded every lecture, they had no clue. They thought I just had an mp3 player on my desk every day! Also worth mentioning is the battery. The battery life on this is absolutely amazing. I charged it to full before the first day of class and I only had to charge it up once or twice the entire 4 month semester, using it every class day. And it charges really fast. No need for AAA batteries with the built in rechargeable battery. That alone is a major plus in my book. So, if you're a student and like to record your lectures, I highly recommend this little recorder. It saved my life during review sessions for tests in all my classes. Record the reviews and use those recordings to tailor study time. It's great!

Great little recorder! Very small. Easy to use and figure out. I use it for song ideas on my guitar. Picks up sound very well according to where you place it. I don't crank up my amplifier for ideas(loud enough for practice at home), so I don't know if it picks up louder playing. Plays back sound loud enough to hear well on its internal speaker. Works just fine for what I need. I recommend.

Funciona bien, en general calidad-precio.
