Could you please give an example of one (or more) such recorder(s)?
I'm thinking about getting a cheap tiny dictaphone for logging ideas daytime for distilling them to my notebook/journal when at my desk.
ps: I find phone apps too cumbersome to get to the point where the record is running, by that time the idea might slip.
- autoexec 3y agoI'm mostly recording music where I've got things set up in advance vs needing to quickly capture something on the fly but I've liked the Zoom H1n, Sony PCM-D100, and Sony PCM-A10
- fodkodrasz 3y agoI can see that these are indeed targetting musicians and are way more sophisticated instruments than what I'm looking for. I'm still grateful for the info! Thanks for sharing!
- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoThere are some ridiculously cheap voice recorders on Amazon. The H1N is a good compromise between size and simplicity and audio quality - not super cheap, but not professional prices, and a good step up.
- autoexec 3y agoI picked that one up while traveling and I'm surprised at how good that little guy ended up being. It's lightweight and even without an external mic holds up pretty well. It's the one I tend to grab when I just want to record a melody or a few chords.
- Nition 3y agoThere are smaller and simpler ones if you don't need super high recording quality. The Sony PX470 for example.
- specialist 3y ago> phone apps too cumbersome To your point, I tried to make voice activated journaling thingie using Shortcuts. Turrible UX. I really just need a physical "record" button. Maybe the Watch's new customizable action button would work.
- mikeruiz 3y agoDon’t know about the watch, but the new iPhone supports this feature as a built-in action.
