Digital voice recorder

[Nocturnal]

Every single one on Amazon has crap reviews, for the most part.

I would like to be able to take the lecture and turn it into an mp3 if it isn't already and mp3 and place it on my iPod.

I liked using my older generation (generation 3, I think) with the Griffin Technology iTalk (Here's the model for the newer style of ipods: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/italkpro)

The built in mic allows you to record straight to the ipod

No, you really don't. Just take notes.

Buy a H120, and maybe a nice mic.

my iPaq pocket PC was awesome for recording. i sold 4 or 5 of them on eBay a couple years ago. you could score one for cheap these days. it allowed me to record right to the memory card as well. best thing i ever had for recording.

actually, it was even better as a universal remote.

i gotta find that thing.

Yes you really don't. I was just about to ask if you had a hard time understanding your teachers. I personally don't even like to listen to lectures, let alone record them and re-listen to them when I get home! I could use the time at home to watch Family Guy, or try to figure out why women are insane (that'll never happen)!

Well guys, unfortunately, everyone is different. Some people have learning impairments.

Get your case documented by the disability department of your university and have them determine what would be best for you, then. Hell-- might even get a free digital voice recorder out of them.

Yes sir. I've already got that taken care of. They do provide recorders but they are tape and not digital. I just want to be able to listen to it on my iPod on the way to and from work. It will benefit me greatly I believe.

Voice recordings of lectures are also a great way of proving the prof lied in class.

Using a voice recorder to listen to the lecture a second time is a great way to solidify the material. It can help to write the words of the lecture down and put these notes in a binder. This method requires great dedication but is very effective for learning. By the time the professor's words have been written down on paper, your mind has already processed the material three times. This is a great way to get complete notes of the material, including the concepts spoken when your mind wanders during class, or even the material that was communicated while you were still taking notes on the previous concept. I did not realize how much my mind wandered during class until I started recording and listening to lectures.

I used a Sony Digital Voice Recorder during the years 2000-2004. The current models are unknown to me but at the time, the $300 model was well worth the cost. That voice recorder was more important to me than my computer, and I was a CS major.

Here is the Sony Style webpage for their digital voice recorders.

I have a Zoom H2 and it's awesome:

Records to an SD card (up to 16gb tested so far). You can attach an additional mic, although the onboard is excellent.

I found it helpful to get a small microphone on a cord that plugs into the voice recorder. This allowed my voice recorder to remain inside my backpack while the microphone hung on the outside of the bag.

Make sure it's a nice one because I have an RCA digital one and a cheap tape one and the tape has much bettter sound quality. Maybe get a DAT and a nice mic?
