    Bought this for recording meetings and classes I attend regularly. Even sitting on the other side of a room. Voice pickup is great and clear. I'm able to go back and listen to previous meetings and classes and edit my notes.

    I use the Sony voice recorder to capture live audio using the audio input. I have not used it yet as a pure voice recorder. It is very convenient to snap out the USB port to charge the recorder and download the audio mp3 file.

    We purchased this for my daughter to use at college. Unfortunately, it was not as easy to use as we thought. She had to be close to the professor to get quality recording and that was not always possible. But otherwise it seems to be a good device

    I bought this item to dictate and have dragon for mac transcribe the audio file into text and then into an electronic medical record. Works great. I would add an extra star for a touch screen to swipe through the menu.

    I have nothing bad to say about this product. It has a great pair of mics and plenty of storage. To top it off it has a program to edit the recordings. All around worth every penny.

    Very good for meetings, presentations or any other event. A 32Gb micro card is more than enough to keep your recording files stored. Fully recommended!

    It has worked well so far. I need to practice with it a lot, so I can store things on the fly when I have to interview 10 or more people at a time.

    I think it is a good little gadget, bit honestly could be replaced by any smartphone that has a voice recording option. Probably very good for recording lectures and classwork, interviewing etc. I like the USB charging feature
