I brought this dictaphone as a way of recording my lectures at university so that I could listen to them in my own time and pick up on things which I missed in the lecture. I brought mine for £66.35 on amazon. The dictaphone is a plain black colour with a silver border around the screen. On the screen text is in large black print which is easy to read. Below this are two large circular buttons which are clearly labelled. on the left is the record/pause button and on the right is the play/stop/enter button. Underneath are three smaller buttons which allow you to rewind, forward wind or stop. The speaker is located under this. The whole dictaphone is very ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION I borrowed this device off a friend when my dictaphone got broken. Ever since starting university I have always had a dictaphone with me as its sometimes fairly hard to keep up with the pace of lectures and keep my concentration up all the way through the lecture. However, it can be used for so many jobs, such as journalism, writing, experimentation, as well as in general life to record any ideas or thoughts. PRODUCT The dictaphone is the standard hand size device, and is black in colour. Personally I think it makes it look quite ugly, grey/silver is much nicer, but it's not all about appearance. It has a 2GB memory, which ...  Read the complete review

I think one of the problems that most students have is when going from small lessons to lectures at universities is that the pace can be too fast to keep up. I usually print out the lecture slides before each lecture so that I can annotate and follow what the lecturer is saying. However, even then, the amount of material they cover in each lecture is quite a lot and sometimes, I find myself thinking what I have written when I go over the lectures at home. Therefore, my solution was to get a dictaphone and record the lectures just in the case I miss something. There are varities of brands and styles available on the market for dictaphones. I decided to ...  Read the complete review

This is a cracking little gadget perfect! I got one on a whim as I was wanting to capture some conversations and be able to listen to them again to observe our language patterns. I could have spent a lot less money, but reading previous reviews on other websites, the impression I got was that it was better to spend a bit more on a better quality product. This model cost me £45 and is definitely good value for money. I cant say that I have used every function possible on it, but the basics are very simple to operate....particularly when you're in one of those moments where you need to just switch it on and start recording something spare of the ...  Read the complete review

I received the Sony ICD-PX820 Digital Voice Recorder at University when I wanted to record my lectures and type them back at my leisure later on. I found it a very handy bit of kit and ideal for this type of use. It has 2GB of built-in flash memory which means that you won't be running out of space in a hurry - and of course if you ever did find yourself running low you can simply move the files to your mac or PC to clear some space. It stores up to 535 hours of voice-quality audio in LP mode which is very impressive - certainly this could hold a year of lectures no problem. I think it is ideal for use in any meeting be it training, educational, business or ...  Read the complete review
