Few Things to Keep In Mind before Buying a Recording Device

College lectures are long and sometimes it gets really difficult to note down everything the professors say. So, what does a person do in such situations? One solution to this problem is using recording devices for lectures. There are multiple options for this product available in the market, and they are all small in size, making them handy and easy to carry around.

Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind before buying these recording devices.

·         Capacity to record: So, if you are using a digital recorder, then first you need to make sure that you buy one that has a sufficient amount of storage space, and can also be expanded further if needed. A 4GB or a 6GB one is preferable since it will be able to record lectures for probably the entire semester. And secondly, you should keep an eye out for devices with good battery life, so that it wouldn’t ditch you halfway through a lecture. 

·         Sensitivity: One thing you must know is that not all recording devices are made the same, whether you are using the recorder of your phone, laptop, or any other recording device. Opt for a device that can record voice clearly even from a fair distance.

·         Background noise cancellation: There are a few devices out there that have the feature of cancelling out unwanted noise from the background and focusing on the voice of the just one person. This is a good thing to invest on because that way your recorded lectures will be clear.

·         Size: Yet another important thing to keep in mind is the size of the recording device. You should buy one that is small and lightweight, but at the same time, it is sturdy. Buying a big chunky one will only add on to the weight of your bag, and they aren’t very easy to conceal either.

So, whether you are a student who needs to re-hear their professor’s lecture or a professor, who wants to share his or her classroom lectures to others, these recording devices are perfect for you.
