[Electronics-Talk] Accessible digital recorder

Sun Jan 2 14:00:34 UTC 2022

My husband has the Microspeak recorder and likes it, and he's not really a gadget guy.  It's basic--good for recording notes and such.  I use the recording feature on my Victor Stream the same way.

That first one sounds good.  Has anyone had one or heard a recording made with one?
