The VP-99 is a black aluminum ballpoint pen with a voice recorder inside. It has one switch, tucked inside the pen. Move it one way for continuous recording, the other way for voice-activated mode, and back to the center to stop.
A charge lasts up to 30 days, assuming 1 hour of recording per day, or up to 30 hours recording nonstop. Recharge with any computer, phone, wall or car charger. The 8 GB memory holds 288 hours of MP3 recordings, each with a date and time stamp.
Its microphone hears voices up to 40 feet away. Voice-activated mode turns on by itself when it hears talking and rests once things go quiet.
To listen, plug the pen's USB end into any Mac or Windows computer. There is no screen or earphone jack, which keeps it looking like an ordinary pen.
It comes with 2 ink refills and a storage case. Use it for meetings, lectures and notes. Always follow your local recording and consent laws.
