A:AnswerYes, it can, fortunately. In the past I've kept track of football plays with a recorder that can be paused. Just allow for the likelihood that you will lose a syllable before and after each time you pause and resume recording. You need that moment of silence when you play it back or it will all run together and you won't be able to tell where you paused. Make sure and look for this feature when shopping -- my Olympus does not have pause and I sure wish that it did.
A:AnswerHave only used it a short time. My meetings last two to two and half hours and battery still is full after play back and recording. Instructions say 55 hours of record time and 18 hours of play back on new batteries.
A:AnswerHi Cargee--I bought the recorder for someone else and haven't used it. But...I have used similar types and you should be able to do that. Test it out and see.
Good luck
A:AnswerNot in a car, if the engine is running, the recorder will hear it and record continuously. Once in a while I will forget to turn the recorder off and it will record my entire trip home (or wherever I am going) and wear down the batteries. Also keep in mind that recorders in voice activated mode will miss the first syllable or two of a conversation and will run the last bit of the previous sentence into the first bit of the next sentence. That's especially problematic when you're playing it back. If you're trying to record discreetly, be aware that some recorders make an audible sound when they run out of disk space or battery power.
