Review on 🎙️ Goldencivetcat Compact 16GB Digital Voice Recorder with 12000 Mins Recording & 6000 Mins Cloud Storage: Ideal for Lectures & Meetings - Features Earphone Playback & APP Control by Jeff Wells

This voice recorder is small, light and records very clear sound. But its best feature is the ability to transcribe on the fly. On request also in another language. You can even use this as a real-time translation device when speaking to someone in a language you don't speak. However, I found that there is a charge (presumably) for using the time on the AI server they have in China. When you buy an item you get 45 free minutes on the server for transcription and translation. But if you want more, you have to add time to the virtual map in the app (time is about 2.50 revs/hour). It doesn't bother me because the transcription is very convenient and because the device tells you how much time you have to transcribe before each recording (you can turn this feature off), but it took a little research to find out how much time You have this time has cost. and how to get more. The instructions, both written and displayed in the app, are mostly in Chinese, so it can be difficult to get used to this and other features. Also, the recorder stores on a company owned cloud server and it took me a while to figure out how to send text or voice recordings to my mailbox or personal cloud file. And even though I deleted those files multiple times, my earlier recordings and transcriptions continued to show up in the company's cloud storage. In short, this digital voice recorder comes in very handy, especially if you do a lot of interviews and transcribe them all, but be prepared to pay for the privilege.
