    The Philips - VoiceTracer Audio Recorder's greatest feature is the timestamp capabilities. It makes it easy to track previously recorded conversations.

    Works great has no issues. I do it for a mystery shot when I have to do phone reviews except every single detail. Was a little bit more than what I wanted to spend.

    I've had six voice recorders over the past 15 years, using one every day of the work week.... so I think I have a good handle on what is important in this type of a recorder. The major reason I purchased the unit is that the Wifi control of the unit was a MAJOR advantage. That mode of operation was easily controlled and the audio quality of the recordings was on par with older models from Sony.... but I had to return the VoiceTracer to Best Buy for one major GLARING reason.... the inability to mute the speaker sounds from button presses and wifi activation/deactivation. The user interface should be able to be controlled so that menu selections/button pushes don't create a noise... and WORST OF ALL... when you begin a recording via wifi, the unit makes a beeping sound that could NOT be turned off. This makes the unit completely useless for me, as I use my units to capture my interactions where the beep would be considered an annoyance. Wifi control was OK... but with the beeping caused by starting/stopping recording, it was not functional for me. LASTLY the other thing I hated about it is the size. It is WAY larger than my Sony... or even my 12 year old Olympus voice recorders. The Wifi would have been neat... but it just doesn't overcome the negatives. Huge disappointment.

    I wanted to record my first podcast episode in person and got this recording device. It worked, however I am not sure if it is any better than my iPhone voice memo app. It made me feel more confident which is a plus going into the interview having two microphones on it. The sound did not blow me away but it was solid so I gave it a solid 3 star review.
