This recorder is great for capturing lectures, meetings, and interviews. The voice activation feature is spot on, and the sound quality is crisp and clear. Based on our own experience, this recorder goes above and beyond expectations. The compact size makes it easy to take anywhere, and the batteries last a long time. The only downside is the lack of an internal memory, but the microcassette tapes are easy to replace. Overall, a great piece of electronics to add to your collection!See full review
