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.

Really easy device to use and works really well. The transfer from device to the computer is really good and no problem importing into Adobe Premiere.

I was looking for a way to have my son read along with books to help him with his dyslexia. Our library doesn’t have much foe boys his age/level and I didn’t want to give him open access to something like audible either. I tried my old recorder but it was broken. So this was an inexpensive alternative. I can read the book on the recorder then he listens and follows along. Once it’s done I record another book. It’s small enough I can carry it and the book to work and read on my lunch break and he can carry it around in his pocket. The silver part is plastic. From the photos I thought it was metal. Sound quality is similar to my cassette. I don’t think it will handle many drops but thankfully that hasn’t happened yet.

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.

The recorder is lightweight. It can fit in my pocket. Great price. Good quality. It comes with a charger and instructions. The microphone is sensitive but that doesn't better me.

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)

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!

I was hoping this would be what I needed. It's a nice size, but did not work reliably. Tried to use it for someone recording their memoirs, but one whole recording somehow came out as "file not recognized" or something like that, so I returned it. I'm not sure what went wrong, but cannot have it be unreliable for recording something that may not be able to recorded ever again! The price and item is great if you don't need it to be 100% reliable.

Funciona bien, en general calidad-precio.
