[Trainer-Talk] what are your recommendations for mainstream but accessible voice recorders

[Jim Portillo]

Did it go back to the original price of $169? When I got it, it was $199. Great recorder, a little more expensive than I was hoping.

The  elTronex is available from LS & S group. unfortunately it will not recharge the AAA batteries internally.  They keep raising the price. Right now it is $169. But it is a very good recorder. It has a internal radio that you can record off of and the timer is even accessible. They’ve modified the software to speak many more items then with speak in the Olympus recorders. I also like the microspeak  talking recorder for about $50 for something that’s very basic but has a lot of memory and a very loud clear speaker. it records in MP3 format and only has one folder for recordings but has eight GB of memory.  All of these recorders will let you copy to a computer without any additional software. The elTronex will let you use A microSD card for virtually limitless memory.
