It has plenty of recording time. You can play back on slow or fast.
Its small and easily fits in your pocket. It has a headphone jack for private listening.
This little recorder is great. Cue forward or back by a few seconds or all the way back to the beginning really easily.
The sound quality is good. Its pretty easy to figure out if you spend a few minutes with the directions.
I was skeptical at first when I saw this but now I cant imagine being without it.
It's very easy to use. Would recommend highly. This is a wonderful little recorder for simple recording of conversations, interviews or lectures. Not sure if it can sync with laptop, haven't tried yet.
It meets all my needs with four folders, ease of use and clarity of playback. Many of my friends have tried and were so impressed they are now buying one for themselves. This recorder is excellent. I am very pleased considering other voice recorders I have tried.
And another reason it gets 4 stars is because you can't power it with an AC or DC adapter. Those are not worth using. Headphones or plugging it to a home stereo are better options. AAA batteries are the only option. All you do is plug the mic jack into the headphone jack of the radio. That way I don't have large blank spots on the recording. I record AM and shortwave broadcasts, and sometimes record radio transmissions from my scanner.
If I want to record the local railroad frequency when I'm gone, it will only record when there's activity on the frequency. HQ is about like a microcassette on low speed. But that's to be expected with a device this small. And SP and LP are very bad. The most usable features for me are mic jack, voice activation, and timer recording.
You may need to hold it to your ear to listen in a noisy environment. XHQ is about the same quality as a microcassette on high speed. And battery life was not what I expected on a recorder that has no motor to drive a tape. Audio output is minimal. There are 4 quality settings-XHQ(about 6 hours), HQ(about 12 hours), SP(about 30 hours), and LP(about 72 hours). First of all, this recorder is tiny-smaller than a microcassette recorder, and smaller than many cell phones.
I give it 4 stars because the sound quality does not equal standard size cassettes. But the volume on the radio has to be set very low or it will distort when you record this way. The voice activation works with the mic jack also. Despite it's weaknesses, it's a nice little gadget that gets the job done.
Using a digital recorder like this one is a great way to learn lines. Record your cues and responses, and be the first one in the company off book.
