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

I've been using this for several years now with regular use. It is a good quality recorder, dependable (never had a recording issue) and easy to use. I have come to rely on it for clear, clean, audio recording that can be easily retrieved and used. The only issue might be the mic you use and the cord used to download recordings. I've been through two different cords that stopped working as transfer connections. I don't know why they stopped working. The one it came with was only ever used to transfer data from the device and was not bend or subjected to weight or play at the connection points. It stopped working after a year with not much use. However, the device is working well and the transfer cable is a common type found everywhere.

I charged the recorder the day I got it and have not charged it since. I use it to record a meeting that usually lasts an hour and a half. I have recorded three meetings and it still shows full battery. The meeting is in a large room the size of half a gymnasium (the folding door is closed) with terrible acoustics. We use a PA system but not everyone uses a microphone. The recorder still picks up all the people speaking. I am the group Secretary and I can listen to the recording and produce accurate meeting minutes. The recorder is easy to use and I can reverse the playback in case I miss something and hear it again. I use a headset to listed to the recording. I’m very happy with the recorder and would recommend it to a friend. I used cassette recorders in college 30 years ago and this is much better. I have not recorded any music on it so I don’t know how it would sound. I record the meetings using the WAV format.

Very good for recording. My only issue is rewinding. It rewinds back to the very beginning. The recording library is a little confusing to operate. It is compact and the clarity is very good. Works well with either Apple or Android ear buds.

I lost my first one and bought another. This records well, is small and has never failed me. Easy to use and download. I never had to charge my first one.

I love this recorder because it is my new assistant. Great value for the money. I love how the play back is informative. I am happy with this purchase.

This little thing has been used 5 days a week since purchase, 2 years ago. I use it for meeting and lectures. Very user friendly! The battery charge lasts... well I dont know how long it lasts. It has yet to die.

I don't know what to make of these thousands of glowing reviews. ("Best recorder ever" says one breathless headline.) Even brand new, this "EVIDA" recorder never really worked great. The settings and menu were very unintuitive and confusing. And the audio quality of the recordings (even on the best settings) was always mediocre. In order to start recording, one has to move a switch on the side. That seems simple and straightforward. The problem is that this thing is so finicky, it's so easy to gently bump it, and have the switch flip back off. (And the "lock" switch that theoretically should prevent a recording from accidentally stopping doesn't seem to actually do anything here.) --But worse, after less than a year of using this, it's now malfunctioning in a way that I would not have believed was technologically possible. These days when I try to record something, I not only get that recording, but I get multiple other files that are fragments of that recording. And I get recordings with the metadata (the record date) from PREVIOUS recordings that were already deleted off the device. Not only is this confusing, but there is a worry that it's recording OVER the "slots" of past recordings. In short, this is outright junk. Be wary of all the 5-star reviews. This whole system is clearly fishy.

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 like it with thanks

منتج رائع و يقدر يلتقط الاصوات حتى لو ضعيفه انصح به بتسجيل المحاضرات و الاجتماعات

Awesome for ghost hunting, comes fully charged and so easy to use!

Buenas noches la verdad no se puede cargar la batería no pasa de la mitad no la he usado intente usar descargo y no carga mas

I purchased 32GB option in May 2022, and but did not try to use it until January 2023. Came up with a disc error, which, after a reset, resolved itself. Made 2 20 minute recordings and that was that until today. Tried to use today, but will not function properly. Will not record, and if I delete 2 recordings from January, it says they are deleted, but reappear each time I switch on. Have tried formatting, resetting etc but now shows "Please wait......" and has done so for the last hour. Very disappointed! Update: would just like to add that Amazon has been very helpful in obtaining a refund.
