Review: The Best Digital Voice Recorder

digital-recorderKeeping records and taking notes has come a long way from the days of furiously trying to scribble down a teacher’s notes or record minutes of a meeting in a spiral notebook. For years we were able to use mini tape recorders to get the job done. But still there was the problem of transcribing the notes and having enough tape to get the job done.

Luckily now we have digital voice recorders. They work similar to an MP3 player. Everything is recorded digitally which means the unit can just be plugged into a computer and the entire file downloaded

If you are looking for a digital voice recorder to make recording class lectures or personal note taking a breeze then you simply can’t go past “ The Best Digital Voice Recorder”.

The best digital voice recorder has the following features:

It can pick up voices up to 40′ feet away. This means you can place it on the top of a conference table and be assured that every member’s voice will get into the record. It has patented recording software that will remove long pauses in conversation. This saves battery and memory as well as time later on when you’re reviewing the audio file.

The recording technology not only eliminates long pauses but it also reduces background noise. This means the speech you hear is nice and clear. Those letters and words that sound so similar when muffled now will pop out clear as a bell.

The best digital voice recorder connects easily to a computer via a USB connection. There’s no need to try and rig together a bunch of different wires to get the thing to work.

What We Like:

  • Small compact design is wonderful. It fits in a pocket easily. It’s so small that you don’t notice carrying it around. Perfect for those times when you have that great idea while you are driving.
  • It lasts a long time. The battery is rated for 32 hours of operation. You won’t have to worry about installing fresh batteries every time you use it.
  • Recording length is superb in low resolution mode you can record for 132 hours.

A Good Cup of Tea – Using Tea Bags

tea-bags-bengal-spiceI have to admit that I am a tea drinker and when I say ‘tea drinker’ I don’t just mean that I have a packet of black tea in the cupboard that I make a regular cup of tea with. What I mean is that I have a whole range of different teas in every flavor imaginable. This range grows from day to day whenever I find another flavor that I haven’t yet tried.

I have a drawer full of teas including green teas, white teas, red teas, black teas, teas from India, Sri Lanka, China and any other Asian country that you can think of; herbal teas, jasmine teas, oolong and chai. I actually think that if I stopped buying tea as of today I would still have enough in that drawer to last me about 10 years, and I am not kidding when I say that.

As I write this post I am drinking a cup of white tea and it is the nicest tea – very smooth and palatable. I am not into teas that have a sharp, bitter flavour.

I don’t mind using tea bags although any tea connoisseur would be most upset to hear me say that. I have to say though that you can’t beat a cup of tea that has been made in the traditional way of putting the tea leaves into a pot. The flavor is definitely enhanced by this method.

I had a friend whose parents went to Sri Lanka and visited the Dilma tea factory. He told me that the tea that falls on the floor is what is used in tea bags. In other words, you just aren’t going to get the best cup of tea with a tea bag.

Still I will continue to use tea bags as they are quick and easy and as long as it tastes good I am happy.
