The VP-9 is a gloss black aluminum ink pen with a professional voice recorder built in. The controls and OLED screen are part of the pen, so there is no separate remote to carry. The screen dims to black while you record.
It records up to 16 hours per charge, or up to 16 days in voice-activated mode, assuming 1 hour of recording per day. Recharge with any computer, phone, wall or car charger. Storage holds up to 1,152 hours, enough for a full semester of lectures.
It records in PCM for clear, detailed voices, and its microphone hears speech up to 60 feet away. Voice-activated mode starts and stops recording on its own.
Listen right from the pen, or plug its built-in USB connector straight into any Mac or Windows computer to save and share files. No cable needed. It feels solid in the hand and writes smoothly.
It comes with 2 ink refills and a storage case. Use it for meetings, lectures, interviews and dictation. Always follow your local recording and consent laws.
