Aketek 8GB Multifunctional Rechargeable Audio Voice Recorder Dictaphone MP3 Player FM Radio (12) Review

Easy to use, great that it comes with a battery that can be charged in the device. In addition, some advanced features are included. However, the recording mode usually starts with a delay, up to 10 seconds after the record button is pressed, before recording begins. In addition, the device was received with the default full auto-repeat, which normally repeats all current files up to 5 times before stopping. I had to search a bit to find the repeat function in the menu and turned off…

This voice recorder may not be the best on the market, but it certainly does exactly what you need. The price doesn't hit the wallet either. I use this a few times a week to record my class lectures in nursing school and then listen to them in my school days and it's great. You can't rename files in the recorder itself, but I rename them when connected to my computer, this makes it easier to scroll through the recorder itself during playback. Also, the files are in .WAV format, which I'd like…

At first glance, all this seemed quite normal. The UI is silly and recording starts 5-20 seconds after you click record, but you'll get used to the quirks over time. The biggest problem I had was using the footage. These recorders routinely skip about a second of audio at regular intervals. I have no idea why that is, but in a 15 minute shot I usually have about 10 of these drops. In addition, these things basically become a burden because you never know when they will be cut and what will be…

Does a good job. The instructions are a bit vague. Read carefully. To charge, please make sure the device is on when you connect the USB cable, otherwise it will light up but not charge. It takes 3-4 hours to charge when switched on. Also, the instructions for transferring files to a PC talk about accessing the device in MY COMPUTER (in the Control Panel). TRUE. Click here to open the RECORD file. TRUE. Click Open DVR File. can't find it Says that a NEW folder is not required. NOT CORRECT. The…

I needed a recorder for my class and it was cheap and could be delivered to me in 2 days. What I don't like is that turning it off with the switch on the right resets the time/date; However, I've found that to turn it off, you just have to go to settings and search for 'sleep'. I put it on for 10 minutes and you can just turn it back on when you're ready. The battery lasts a long time for me too. I do weekly 1 hour appointments that I book into it (sometimes I use it up to 3 times a week) and…

Played with it for a few days and here is my opinion. Pros: - Pretty easy to use, just press and hold the record button until the red light comes on. - Small size makes it easy to carry in your pocket. low volume - the sound is pretty clear and I was able to record in a large tiled room of 30 people and hear the speaker pretty well. - Plays MP3 files so you can load them with music too. After all, it has 8 GB of storage space. Supplied with lavalier or lavalier microphone, headphones, USB cable

Okay let me preface this review by saying that my experience with audio equipment is quite extensive as I'm an audio engineer. However, this handy portable recorder is useful for musicians and journalists. RANGE (built-in microphone): This recorder does not have a very large range. I was sitting right next to my friend (maximum 3ft from the recorder) and to be honest he had some trouble picking up his voice in a normal conversational tone. I do not recommend this product for students who want…
