    When I was going to try out the voice recorder before using it in the meeting, I wasn't sure what to do. Went to the help center in the store and the help I got was really good. Used it to record the meeting which helped me do the minutes (I'm secretary).

    I bought this item to record ideas and to interview subjects for a news column. While it is convenient, I miss the ease of use that old fashioned recorders provided. This one seems a bit difficult to navigate until you get used to it.

    I would say that even though we have apps to record audio, there's a lot to be said about a solid-state piece of hardware at the ready whenever you need it; as opposed to fumbling/sliding across glass to get to your recorder and set your settings. With a small piece of hardware, you are good to go, as long as you have the settings set up. Just put it in 'hold' when it's in your pocket, and then flip it to rock 'n roll when ready!! Lol...Ugh...couldn't resist. :)

    The only way I can say a single bad word about this little recorder is if I've forgotten it at home. The first personal recorder I ever had was a VOR Sony cassette recorder. This device is for the next twenty years. If you have ideas, need to write it down (but you're driving), need reminders or just want to know if what you said sounded like you wanted it to sound, this will be a device you cannot live without.

    Outstanding Voice Recorder

    There isn't much to say about this except that it is a great voice recorder regardless of price but considering its price, it is awesome. I have mostly switched to doing interviews with with my phone voice recorder because I always have that with me but a new project has us sending out others to do reviews and so we needed a single platform for them all to use. This recorder is easy to use for a wide range of skill-sets and is just as easy to get the recordings off of it. We are happy with this purchase.

    It is a great little machine to carry with you at all times. You can easily get it out of your pocket or purse and record what is on your mind then simply put it away until the next time. Allows you to remember important things so you don't forget.
