The VP-8 is a matte black aluminum pen with a full PCM voice recorder inside. A small OLED screen shows the file name, time, battery and quality mode. When you start recording, the screen dims to black so it does not distract the room.
It records up to 13 hours per charge, or up to 13 days in voice-activated mode, assuming 1 hour of recording per day. Recharge with any computer, phone, wall or car charger. Its memory holds up to 130 hours.
PCM is uncompressed, so voices keep more detail. Auto Level Control keeps soft and loud voices even, and the microphone hears speech up to 60 feet away. Choose voice-activated or continuous recording.
Play files right from the pen with the included wired remote and voice-tuned earphones. Or connect it to a Mac or Windows computer to save and share them.
It is popular with executives, attorneys, doctors and graduate students for meetings, lectures, interviews and dictation. Always follow your local recording and consent laws.
