This performs excellently. The battery life is great, and the microphone quality is adequate for discreet conversations you need recorded. People won't blink an eye at it.

My wife wanted this for a former employer where they were doing things by the seat of their pants instead of how company policy stated. This was healthcare. It worked well enough that some people got caught with their pants down for sure. We live in a state that has single party consent. No HIPAA was violated either. Only used for conversations between employees. It picked things up better than expected, and people didn't have a clue it wasn't "just a pen". While I don't recommend to anyone to just record whatever, do what you feel you need to do. In a world that seems to be punishing good deeds, it doesn't hurt to have a little backup that can't be refuted when they try to claim they never said that or instructed it. Recording quality was a solid 4.5 of 5. It's a little tinny, but that should be expected. Size is just the same as a nice twist pen. It's a little heavier than, but expected. As long as your system can read a microSD card or with an adapter, compatibility shouldn't be an issue. Instructions are meh, but that's okay, it's a pretty simple device.

Small enough to easily stick in a pocket or hang on your neck, but not so small you lose it in your pocket. About the size of a pack of gum. UI is bare-bones, but audio quality is great for "note to self" stuff. Buttons are easily accessible, and no need to carry an extra "dongle" to get to the buttons to play back audio on the device. Takes a few seconds to wake up and record from the power-off state but doesn't seem to be long enough to lose my thoughts. Password feature keeps your recordings are secure, and also won't even let you connect to a computer without putting the password in first. "Music" feature doesn't have any folder structure or ability to organize files - just lumps them all into one list together. No 3.5mm / 1/8" audio jack, but a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter is included for both listening, and also as a line-in recording source. It comes with a cheap set of ear buds, but I prefer to connect it to a Bluetooth transmitter so I can use my Bluetooth earbuds to transcribe my recordings to my ToDo list / calendar / planner. Wish I would have found this a long time ago. No more need to carry bulky 3x5 cards for capturing thoughts or notes.

Plenty of space for all your music and recordings, and lots of battery life for both recording and playback. The sounds quality of both is very good. Love that it records to both MP3 and WAV, and that there are configurable sound thresholds and recording chunk sizes. Default is 2 hour voice-activated sound files, but I've changed mine to 1 hour chunk size. Playing music is pretty easy and convenient if you setup your songs in a way that you can just let them play continuously. It shouldn't be expected to function like an ipod or other device that is devoted to playback purposes. The magnet is very strong making it very convenient to stick to metallic things, such as your computer case, to avoid losing it or having it take up surface space on a desk, for example. The voice-activated sound recording works very well and can easily collect audio from lectures etc over the course of multiple days, and if you forget to turn it off you don't have to worry about recording long periods of empty sound or of filling up the space with large empty sound files.

My daughter loves world building and story telling but is not yet confident in writing. We got one of these for her to record all her imaginings and she loves it! It’s easy enough for a barely-7-year-old to use and so far she hasn’t maxed out the storage or damaged it in any way, even with frequent and sometimes silly use. She has no problem charging it up when needed and the battery holds up to her extended use. The quality is sufficient for our purposes. It does the job and was worth the price, in my estimation.

I bought this to use at work as a news reporter, because I get tired of juggling multiple things to interviews and thought the combined function of a recorder in my pen was genius, if a bit nerdy. (my son made fun of it, saying it was totally something Dwight Schrute would use, lol) It works well, picks up sound very clearly once you figure out how to use it. The instructions that come with it are basically useless because they are written in English by a non-English-speaking person, so are not very coherent. But I fumbled around with it until I figured it out. The main drawback is it is difficult to know when it is recording, and when it is not. You have to count the times it blinks to know which function it is in, and of course have to memorize which function has how many blinks to it, so that can be a problem when you're in a hurry, or in a setting that is bright (like outdoors) I basically now use it for short interviews where, if it's not actually recording, it's not catastrophic because I have enough info in my notes. For those needing a reliable device with clear indicators as to its mode of functioning... probably better keep looking.

I recently purchased the ZIPCIDE 64GB Digital Voice Recorder and I couldn't be more impressed. This pen is a fantastic recording tool! I have multiple meetings daily and always attempt to take detailed notes. This pen has come to my rescue in reviewing my meetings and generating minutes or notes and actions. It looks like a standard pen (see pictures) and is comfortable to hold. I really appreciate that it comes with extra ink, which should last for over a year. The audio quality is crystal clear, picking up voices even in a crowded room. The voice-activated function is a game changer. During my meetings, it starts recording only when it detects sound, which saves so much space and reduces the need for constant recharging. It comes with 64GB of storage, which is more than enough for a week's worth of recordings. I love that it's compact, lightweight, and super easy to operate. You get everything you need to get started in the box: the pen recorder, 64 GB TF card, headphones, micro-USB cable, controller, 5 replacement refills, screwdriver, and manual. I have found this pen recorder to be truly versatile and invaluable during my daily meetings. I highly recommend it!

It's a very simple recording device. I bought it based on the reviews, but I had to return it right away. It's not useful at all.

I got this device to record my class lectures and work presentations, and it works perfectly so far. It’s compact and performs well. With a 64GB storage capacity, it offers plenty of space for recordings, and the battery will last for up to 24h so plenty of recording time. The quality of recording is pretty descent especially for the size. Despite its size it feel strong as apart for the buttons and the screen it is all made of metal. One feature I find very useful and apricate is the voice activation. It eliminates long stretches of silence during recordings, saving time when listening back or transcribing. The controls are easy to understand and well-design to the device’s small size. The colour digital screen is sharp, easy to read, and the menu navigation is intuitive, making it simple to operate even for first-time users. This recorder is powered by a rechargeable internal battery, and with the included USB-C cable, it charges efficiently. A full charge provides up to 24 hours of continuous recording, which is fantastic for extended sessions. Other handy features include password protection to keep you recording secure in case you loose it, variable play speeds, an A-B repeat function, MP3 playback (but I would probably never listen music with it), a screensaver, and one-touch delete, among others. Included in the box you have a USB C charging cable, a headphone and adaptor to connect the headphone. Overall, this is a well-designed and discreet recording device packed with useful functions. I’d definitely recommend it!

I do not typically write reviews but I felt compelled to do so for this device. I was trying to find a discreet, compact, and easy to use recording device for work. I do not require a recording device for fine measurements or sensitive scientific research. If you are in a professional environment or are dealing with clients or colleagues where instruction must be executed properly, this will definitely have you covered. The photos are a little misleading. I thought it would be much larger than it actually is. The device is about the length of my index finger and only slightly thicker. It fits perfectly into a button up shirt or suit jacket pocket. It picks up sound very well and you can hear the conversation clearly enough considering the price range. Recording quality is maybe a 7/10 but when you factor the price it's a 10/10. If you want to record a phone call however, it would need to be on speaker. For those reviews that mentioned it felt cheap or fragile, I would argue otherwise. It has a good weight to it making it feel sturdy. I am in a technical field and my professional opinion is that the housing/casing is well made with great fitment having minimal gaps. You can squeeze and twist the unit without body creaks or flex. The plastic feels stiff and sturdy. The buttons and switches are also very tactile and responsive. I was a little concerned when some reviews stated that it could not record for the period of time advertised. I used the device for the first time upon arrival and it lasted my full 9 hour day. It had approximately 80% battery life when I plugged it in for charging with it completing its charge in 15 minutes. The device did not continuously record for 9 hours. However, it would seem that it is sound activated. If left "on" it will record when it picks up a sound or conversation. If it can pick up and catch conversations with accuracy, this is actually ideal as it splices the recordings into smaller files for easier review. I will continue to monitor how well it does this but for the price it has been impressive so far.

Good,batery working not to long

Da ich Keyboard-Anfänger bin, wollte ich gerne meine Fortschritte über einen längeren Zeitraum beim Spielen aufnehmen, um meine Entwicklung und Erfolgserlebnisse zu beobachten. Außerdem hatte ich die Idee, anderen Menschen, zu denen ich das Keyboard nicht mitschleppen kann, meine aufgenommenen Songs vorzuspielen. Dafür reicht die Aufnahme-Funktion des Keyboards nicht aus, es hat nur fünf Speicherplätze. Deswegen kam es mir sehr gelegen, dieses Aufnahmegerät zu testen. Ich bin sehr positiv überrascht. Unser bisheriges Diktiergerät aus den 90er Jahren ist so groß wie ein schnurloses Telefon. Dieses hier ist ein Zwerg dagegen, gerade so groß wie ein Feuerzeug, total niedlich und sicherlich in jeder normalen Hosentasche verstaubar. Die Aufnahme klingt klar und deutlich, sofern man das Gerät bis etwa 20-25cm vor die Quelle hält oder daneben legt (Mund oder Keyboard-Lautsprecher). Je weiter weg, desto leiser wird natürlich die Aufnahme und ggf. auch etwas dumpfer. 30 Sek Aufnahme entsprachen bei mir 0,002 GB, womit bei 64 GB etwa 32.000 Aufnahmen à 30 Sek. gemacht werden können. Die Bedienung läuft nur teilweise intuitiv, da es doch ein kleines komplexes Menü gibt wie diverse Einstellungen an dem Gerät, mehrere Tasten zum Abspielen, Verstellen der Lautstärke etc. Die Tasten sind minimal beschriftet, es liegt aber auch eine Bedienungsanleitung bei (auch deutsch). Mich hat etwas irritiert, dass das Display während der Aufnahme schwarz wird. Die Aufnahme läuft trotzdem weiter. Dies kann man zeitlich aber umstellen. Soweit ich festgestellt habe, geht das Gerät selbstständig aus nach einiger Zeit der Nicht-Nutzung. Das Gerät speichert wav-Dateien, die an unserem iMac schnell anzuhören waren. Die Dateien lassen sich über das beiliegende USB-/USB-C-Kabel übertragen. Auch kann das Gerät Musikdateien abspielen, die vom Computer darauf übertragen wurden (wav-Dateien). Mich hat das Diktiergerät überzeugt und ich würde es weiterhin für meine Zwecke nutzen. Vielen Dank, dass ich es testen durfte.
