Professional 264GB WUCOTC Digital Voice Recorder - Voice Activated Recorder for Lectures Meetings - 18000 Hours Recording Device with Playback, MP3 Player, Password Protection, Variable Speed., Black

Nice recorder. 4.5 StarsOverall, I like this recorder. However, I feel it could be improved with a few FW changes (and info to get it) to help prevent accidental file deletion.Pros:- Small but seems to be well built.- Long recording time, especially with included 256GB card. Haven't used enough to test battery life.- Pretty good recording quality, even at lower bitrates. No need for me to use anything near the max rate.- A lot of buttons - but fairly intuitive once you start using.- Easy to view screen.- Was easy to connect to my phone with a cable to do file handling that couldn't be done directly on the recorder.- While I didn't purchase this with the intent to use as an MP3 player, it is surprisingly good when using quality headphones/ear buds.Cons:- Menu structure and configuration is OK but some items are not intuitive.All other "cons" are file security handling related. Being able to do any one of the below items would help a lot. Be very careful when deleting, or wait until any critical files are backed up first.- Easy to delete file by accident! When reviewing files, will automatically go to the next file by default so when you hit delete, it might not be the file you thought! This can be changed with settings but not intuitive. May need to delete all files before it operates as expected to get recording numbers in sequence.- No way to rename file for easier ID without external device. Not being able to do this makes it easier to delete the wrong file.- Can't move file to another folder without PC or phone. This would provide some accidental deletion protection.- Can only select Card or Flash storage location and not a pre-created folder on one of these. This would allow separating recordings for different subjects.- No method to write protect a file.Bottom line, I'm happy with the recorder. I'd be more comfortable (and 5 stars) with a little more onboard file handling capabilities. But, If were to run this over with my truck, I would buy another one!! ;-)

The media could not be loaded. I just purchased this WUCOTC DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER 8GB+256GB,Model: Z1 ~ To help aid me in organizing my verbal thoughts and memories for writing my book. This is a very professional streamline design that fits most comfortably in my hand, made of quality metal and not plastic. I love all the options it has to offer, but likely I will never use them since I'm not a very techy person. I will probably stay to using the simple basic functions. It does have MP3 capability which would be terrific to use, but again, I will be using this primarily for memory retelling and random thoughts so that I can transcribe them later for my book. It's the perfect size! I also like having options for either choosing better voice clarity or choosing to have more storage space, It has several settings from high quality recording to low, but to be honest, the low quality setting was still impressive, it's not terrible at all as I suspected it might be... therefore I will opt for more storage with longer use. I also love how you can contact the maker by email for any issues, as they are very customer friendly wanting the buyer to be satisfied. I was impressed how they built their email address right into the electronic interface option "Contact" for instant reference when needed (otherwise I'd likely misplace or lose it!) It says a lot when a company stands behind their product like this. It's lightweight enough to put in a shirt pocket or to slip into a discrete place if needed, to record a conversation without knowledge by the other person; it even has settings for auto record. It's a nifty electronic! The manual was bone basic with a lot of detail that was daunting... I hope to find a user friendly video to help me understand the functions better, but being challenged understanding electronics, I had it up and operating within 10 minutes just trying to figure it out on my own. I'd definitely buy it again.I would buy this for any professional as a gift ~ it was very nicely packaged with quality packaging, an impressive five star, top shelf gift that you would be very proud to gift someone! ~ If someone gifted this to me, I'd be super thrilled!! I am always looking for the "ideal gift idea" where quality is exceptional or when my spending is limited trying to find a quality gift. This would be a perfect gift for a college graduate, a business owner, an attorney or doctor with a low price point giving a whole lot of bang for the buck! Great product.

It is easy to use, and everything is clearly labeled to see. It has a clear quality sound and is durable for everyday use. It can be used for note dictation, statements, and any other use you may need it for. If you use good batteries, it will last longer. It doesn't have a lot of buttons that would make it difficult to use. The black color makes it elegant looking as not to stick out or be highly noticeable. The screen is well lit and easy to see.

Worked good for a cheap EVP recorder. Took a minute to figure out how to turn it on and off it’s definitely very odd configuration almost childproof lol. Read the instructions for sure you’ll need to.

So I bought this WUCOTC voice recorder because my brain has the memory of a goldfish. And let me tell you—this little guy? It remembers everything. 264GB and 18,000 hours of recording?! I can basically record my entire life and still have room left over for my cousin’s karaoke session.I use it for school lectures, family meetings, and also to catch my little brother talking to himself like a supervillain. It’s voice-activated, so it only records when someone’s actually talking—perfect for skipping all the awkward silence where I pretend to understand math.The playback is crystal clear. I once listened to my teacher explain something and realized I had no idea she was saying that while I was doodling a dragon. Thanks to this recorder, I now pass pop quizzes (sometimes).It also plays MP3s, which means I can go from serious spy mode to jamming out to Taylor Swift in like two seconds. And it has a password lock, so nobody (especially my snoopy sister) can hear me practicing my evil laugh.In conclusion: smarter than me, holds more memory than my entire brain, and now my grades are slightly less terrifying. Love this thing.
