132G (9800 Hour) Voice Activated Recorder - Elasound Voice Recorder with AI-Intelligent Triple Noise Reduction, Portable Audio Recorder for Work, Lectures,100H Continuous Recording Device

I bought this to record a verbally abusive family member but I find it a good option for recording classes and meetings. The Good: - Very simple and easy to use out of the box - Comes with all the connectors. Easy on, Easy off. Getting files is as easy as a flash memory stick - Picks up audio very well sitting on the table listening in on a Teams meeting - Lots of storage. Audio files was 1 hours 26 minutes long and the storage was 115Mb, so less than a Mb per minute. - Solid device and feels robust in case I accidently drop the recorder. The Bad: - Listening to my own voice on playback is unappealing ;) - I tried to put the .wav files into my AI chat hoping to be able to transcribe and summarize but the feature was not available for .wav files - Recording in a pocket will pick up motion on fabric Conclusion: Excellent product and would be a great for recording classes, meetings, conferences or trainings where you can leave the recorder on a table. Also a great device that has lots of storage that won't suck up a lot of phone or PC storage.

A TOTAL BARGAIN - Excellent product, very sensitive and easy to use. Ignore the picture of the smartphone in the advertising graphics - it stands and functions 100% by itself for recording. It acts and functions like a flashdrive that records sound. For our purposes, it had an added advantage - you really need a computer to erase recordings, you can't easily accidentally erase anything. We used ours to get an oral history of her childhood from my aged mother in law. We were afraid we would accidentally lose something if we purchased on of the complicated alternatives, that all had tiny buttons and confusing displays. Its auto record mode shuts on and off automatically, recordings are time-stamped, and you can easily bring them onto your computer for editing with the included USB C cable. It's very small and unintrusive, excellent for our mission. It has a magnetic base, and can be stuck on any steel surface if you wanted to use it as a sound security monitor. There is an earphone/earplug interface, and earplugs with an inline remote control is included, but it is best accessed by a laptop or desktop, that sees it as a USB flash drive.

When you plug it into the computer after recording, you will see a "Recorded" folder where your recordings are stored and a settings file. The settings file is just a text document and it does not control anything. You can type in the current time and 5 hours later when you open the settings file the same time is displayed. The default settings in the settings file indicate voice activation 'on'. However this device is not voice activated at all it records immediately when turning it on. The so-called time settings do not impact anything even after changing the time according to the instructions. The timestamps on your recordings will be incorrect. This is a terrible device if you are looking for something that is incognito that will only start recording when there is voice activation. You will have to fast forward for hours to get to what you want. The manufacturer is simply hoping that people will be satisfied that it at least records and won't care about the advertised functionality that clearly doesn't do not waste your time and money.

This voice recorder definitely comes in handy and it's smaller and more portable than the devices that we used to use back in the day, with the added benefit of not needing to purchase anything extra to be able to use it. With 2,000 hours of available recording time, this little bugger stores quite a bit of information, perfect for the college student that wants to record all of your professor's lectures for a semester or the business professional that wants to keep minutes for a work meeting. The device will even work well for those wanting to do a little spying and/or recording of phone conversations. (Due to it's size and an internal magnet, it can be attached to something metal and small enough to be inconspicuous.) Using the device is relatively simple as well: You charge the device and then slide the button to the "on" mode. That's (mostly) it! Charging the device is simple, as it uses a USB connection, meaning it's rechargeable/doesn't require batteries, which is another plus; and you can achieve a full charge in a couple of hours. For playback, you have the option of downloading the recorded wav files to a computer or you can also listen to them on the included headset. (You can also delete files using your computer and/or headset, too.) This recorder also has a "reset" button, which can be activated by using a paper clip. When you initially set up the device on a computer, you set the device to how you want to use it (more on that in a minute). You can also set a date and time stamp. Probably the that makes this device stand out is the option to set it to activate when it hears a sound, (cutting down on "dead air" space) or you can set it to record continuously. Either way, your recording will come out clear and the volume on the headphones can be adjusted to reflect how loud or soft the recording is. Not that many people would likely use this feature, since most of us likely have cellphones; but, the booklet also mentions the ability to use this device as an MP3 player. That might come in handy if you don't have/want to use your phone or as a much less expensive alternative, especially for little kids to use. (The metal case looks like it could take a bit of abuse.) Overall, this is a solid investment. It's small and portable (see pics), it comes with headphones, adapters, charging cable, and a carry case. (Basically everything that you need to be able to use the device...minus a computer if you choose to store your info that way.) It's also magnetic, so you can (covertly or otherwise) stick wherever there's metal. In addition to this being handy, the option to be able to utilize the device in "voice activated" mode is a game changer! Try it today!

I purchased this to help record longer conversations where we did not have Zoom or Teams active. The package comes with the audio puck, the USB-c to USB-A charger and data transfer, as well as the dongle to listen to recordings directly from the audio puck. I subjected this to some live tests: at my conference, in a private room with speakers as well as on the show floor during regular show hours. There is only one slide button to power it on (which starts recording immediately) and off (to stop recording) The results were generally good with a few caveats: *In a quiet room, I recorded a couple of conversations. To access the conversations, i first listened with the included dongle plug-in and my headset - no computer. Doing so this way ended up with subpar results - I heard a louder electronic hum / static which sometimes was louder than the conversation (the puck was between 2 ft and 4ft from speakers). I then used the USB-c to A cable to connect to my computer. I have a dual boot ubuntu and WIndows 11 system. In Ubuntu, I could see the files on the drive (in the off position) as .WAV files (not mp3 or other formats). However, WAV playback was not recognized in Ubuntu 22.04 (and could not find a software) but was successful using VLC. Similar situation with Win 11 - the built-in player did not recognized WAV file but VLC did. I then chose to convert to mp3 using VLC, and this worked well, and could now move files via usb drive. Also, following VLC playback and mp3 conversion, the playback was better (no hum) and more intelligible. I then took an advanced step and used Perplexity to try to transcribe the audio upload. It did a decent job, enough for me to create a summary. *Next test case: a noisier environment, the event show floor. As above, files are recorded as WAV and playback was ok, though much more noise from the background of the attendees and discussions. I converted to mp3 and again tried perplexity to parse a transcription. Unfortunately, due to the background noise, Perplexity was not successful in transcribing. So I spent over an hour listening to recordings and manually capturing key notes. There is no AI to help reduce background noise and clean up the rest of the audio, nor is there an app to transcribe. Battery seems to last at least a couple of hours. The audio puck also has a weak magnet so it could attach to the iPhone, but it is weak and if upside down, would fall off.

Records well, can have problems recording when no one is talking. The kit comes with everything you need and a pouch to keep it all organized. Once you get the hang of it it is easy to use and retrieve recordings. Its a good size to carry in a pocket or purse and have when you need it.

I haven't even tried it yet. But have a3 star because of the back when I went to make sure it was off so I can charge it i noticed that when your putting it on off it EASILY switches to reset. I tried several times to put it in off and it would stay on (I know because the indicator light is still on) or would go to reset. I bought this to record extremely important church meetings. And now I'm afraid I'll reset it and loose everything when trying to turn it off so I can connect it to the computer! Therefore, this will not work for me at all!!! I'll have to run and buy another one right away. I wonder if I should've given a lower rating than 3 stars. This is the worse rating I've ever given on Amazon smh

This voice recorder has been a fantastic addition to my routine, and it is absolutely perfect for recording my college classes. It is incredibly portable and lightweight, which makes it easy to toss into a bag and take anywhere on campus. The audio quality is impressive, delivering a clear and crisp sound that captures lectures perfectly. I also really appreciate the wide variety of accessories included in the box, particularly the carrying pouch, headphones, inline remote, and helpful USB dongles. It gives you everything you need for a seamless experience right from day one.

The Elasound 132G mini sound recorder is an amazing little unit. Quite small, but very powerful. The description says that it has 9600 hours of recording time. That's a crazy amount. I don't think I will ever be able to fill this baby up. Very easy to use. Just turn the switch to "On" and it starts recording. You can set it to Voice Activated Recording, or Continuous Recording. Great for lectures, conferences, concerts, recitals, or wherever you want to record speech or sound. It also has a magnetic base so that you can attach it to metal objects and let it record without having to hold onto it. Long battery life as well. It touts 70 hours of recording time. With that capacity, you don't have to worry about the battery going dead in the middle of your concert, unless that is you forget to charge it ahead of time. :D You can either copy your recorded files from the device onto you computer in order to play them on your computer, or you can play them directly from the sound recorder. You can also use it as an MP3 player. Just load your music files, or what ever MP3 or WAV files you want, from your computer onto this device, and you can carry it wherever you want and listen to music with either earbuds or plug it into your stereo to play music. The headphone jack adaptor has controls on it for volume, play / pause, and go forward / back. Also comes with standard USB to USB-C and USB to Lighting adaptors. Great and easy to use little sound recorder.

Great product

Noise cancellation doesn't work at all. Continue recording even when there is no noise

No es tan nítida la voz grabada como se esperaría pensando en el precio.

I am seriously impressed with this recorder! The massive 9800-hour storage capacity is beyond convenient—I never have to worry about running out of space. The AI triple noise cancellation is no gimmick; it delivers incredibly clear audio, even in noisy environments. Whether I'm recording meetings, interviews, or lectures, the quality is consistently excellent. The one-touch recording and voice activation features make it super easy to use on the go. I also love the USB-C connectivity for fast file transfers to my laptop and phone. The included accessories like the mic, headphones, and OTG cables are a fantastic bonus. Battery life is a game changer—100 hours of recording on a full charge is impressive, and the fact that it saves your recordings automatically when low on power is a thoughtful touch. Finally, the carabiner design is really clever—I can clip it to my bag or keys and carry it around effortlessly.
