128GB Digital Voice Recorder for Lectures Meetings - EVIDA 9296 Hours Voice Activated Recording Device Audio Recorder with Playback,Password

This device is a lifesaver. I attended a 3-day lecture course with a lot of complex information that needed to be processed later. I do not learn by hearing something once but by repetition. The recording device was easy to use and has lot of storage. My lecture was 25 hours long. The quality of the recording was great. I wish I would have found it sooner.

Actually very solid build.Auto-record feature makes it very quick to start recording by sliding the switch on the right to "on".Will pick up everyone in a room and the sound is good and very easy to understand. Can also record audio via an external microphone or via "line-in" (use this one for amplified video microphones). This thing is actually fantastic as an external audio recorder for video purposes.Has a gain meter on screen, can record in 1500kbps WAV in addition to aac / mp3.

Bought this to take notes to myself for the purpose of writing, catching those spontaneous moments where the right words of ideas pop into your head. Needed pocket size, high reliability, ease of use.First thing you notice is weight. This is not a plastic lightweight; it's heavy for it's very compact size, and solid.Second thing (and i really appreciate this) is that the instructions are in normal size type and don't require a microscope to read. Instructions are lengthy and complete, but could be better organized in a walk-you-through kind of form. But, it is all there- just take a while to bring it together in your head.While I need to become adept at use (like most electronics today, some buttons have multiple functions and there are menu stacks) the device recorded accurately and played back clearly.This is an easy device to pocket-carry. Size is probably ideal for it's many functions. Video screen display is modest resolution and size, but sufficient for it's purpose of displaying status and options. Overall the device seems to fit my purpose well. Pending the test of daily use, this gadget passes the initial tests well.

Bought this as a gift for my husband because he always has a ton of meetings going on and can't always remember everything.This product was great, sturdy, and the recording was clear. Great for its price!

✅ Pros:• Excellent Audio Quality: The built-in microphones capture clear, crisp audio, even in moderately noisy environments. It handles both quiet voices and louder environments without distortion.• Slim and Lightweight: It’s incredibly portable—small enough to fit in a shirt pocket without noticing it’s there.• Fast Charging and Long Battery Life: USB direct charging is a game-changer. A full charge lasts for multiple sessions, often up to 20+ hours depending on usage.• Built-in Storage + MicroSD Expansion: The internal 4GB is sufficient for most casual users, but the MicroSD slot allows for easy expansion, which is perfect for longer recordings.• Easy File Transfer: Plug it directly into a USB port and drag files like you would from a flash drive. No special software needed.⚠️ Cons:• Buttons Feel a Bit Small: While the device is compact, the small buttons may be a bit fiddly for users with larger hands.• Basic Display: The screen is functional but minimal. Navigating folders or playing back specific files could be more intuitive.• No Bluetooth or Wi-Fi: It’s all wired, so there’s no way to wirelessly transfer files or pair with a smartphone.🎯 Best For:• Journalists• Students• Podcasters on a budget• Anyone needing reliable audio notes on the go📝 Final Thoughts:If you’re looking for a dependable, high-quality digital voice recorder without breaking the bank, the Sony ICD-UX570 is a fantastic choice. It strikes a great balance between performance and price, and its ease of use makes it accessible for beginners and pros alike.

I bought this recorder to replace a Sony unit I'd used for years. The Sony had proprietary software to extract sound files, which no longer works with the Windows operating system. This unit will record directly to *.wav or *.MP3 format. Which is great.The sound quality is excellent. There are even some "modes" that adjust the input sensitivity for various recording situations (e.g., conference call, dictation, etc.). It is also simple to use.The one issue I ran into is when you want to begin recording. It is NOT instant. You may have to wait several seconds after turning on the device for recording to start. Which means that this would be a terrible choice if you want to record children or birds, etc. Because by the time it begins to record, the sound you want may be gone!Not sure why they designed the recorder this way. It appears to be an initialization issue. The recorder software just takes a while to get going. I wrote to the manufacturer to see if there was any way around the issue, but didn't receive any reply. I suppose the problem is known - you can see it's mentioned in other reviews.For my purposes it's OK. You can't beat the price for the quality and everything else. Just be aware that recording doesn't start right away. Turn it on well before you need to record something, such as a conference call, and it will perform very well.

I love this recorder. It is user-friendly. I am a writer who is seemingly always doing research--even when I'm not intending to. This recorder lets me keep my thinking notes or interesting lines of something I've read or connected-linked thoughts that come as epiphanys as I go without having to stop, find a scrap of paper, dig out a writing utensil.
