Description

The VIM-VOICETINYKR is a keyring voice recorder for people who need an accurate record of what was said. It measures 48 x 28 x 5 mm, weighs 10 grams and rides on your keys or in a jacket pocket, so it is already with you when a meeting, an interview or a site handover starts. One button starts and stops recording and an LED shows what the recorder is doing.

Voice activation pauses the recorder through silence and resumes when someone speaks, so a long day of notes does not become hours of empty audio. The 8 GB of internal memory is rated at up to 300 hours, the battery runs up to 18 hours recording or up to 30 hours on voice activation, and a USB 2.0 connection moves the files to a computer. Earphones are supplied for playback on the spot.

Features

Voice activation: The recorder pauses through silence and picks up again when it hears sound, so you review the parts that matter instead of hours of empty audio.
Keyring format: At 48 x 28 x 5 mm and 10 grams it clips to your keys or a lanyard and travels in a pocket or a laptop bag without a separate case or charger.
8 GB of internal memory: Rated at up to 300 hours of audio, so a full week of meetings fits on the recorder without offloading between sessions.
Battery for a long day: Up to 18 hours of continuous recording, up to 30 hours with voice activation, and up to two months on standby between uses.
Pickup to 10 metres: A sensitive microphone with intelligent noise reduction keeps speech together across a boardroom table or a lecture theatre.
One button and an LED: Press once to start, press again to stop. The indicator tells you which state the recorder is in, so you are not guessing.
Playback and transfer: Listen back through the supplied earphones, or plug into a computer over USB 2.0 to copy the files across.

Applications

Real-World Scenarios

Meetings and site handovers

You are in the room and you need the detail right. Start the recorder at the top of the meeting, tell the others it is running, and you have a full record of what was agreed rather than a page of half finished notes. Up to 18 hours of continuous recording covers a full day of back to back sessions.

Interviews, lectures and dictation

Students, journalists and researchers use a recorder this size because it is already on their keys. Voice activation is useful in a lecture theatre, where it drops the gaps between speakers and leaves you with far less audio to scrub through afterwards.

Keeping a record of a dispute you are part of

Tenancy disagreements, contractor callbacks and insurance conversations tend to come down to who said what. Recording a conversation you are taking part in gives you something concrete to refer back to, and the 8 GB of memory means you are not deleting older recordings to make room.

How it Works

Charge the recorder over USB, then choose continuous recording or voice activation before you start.
Press the button once to begin. In voice activation the recorder waits for sound, records while someone is speaking, and pauses again when the room goes quiet.
Press the button again to stop. Listen back through the supplied earphones, or connect the recorder to a computer over USB 2.0 to copy the files across.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to record audio in New Zealand?

Recording a conversation you are taking part in is generally lawful in New Zealand, which covers most of what people buy a pocket recorder for: your own meetings, interviews, phone calls you are on, dictation, and keeping a record when you are dealing with someone difficult. Where it changes is when you are not part of the conversation. Recording or listening to a private communication between other people is interception under section 216B of the Crimes Act 1961, and it is an offence whether or not you ever share the recording. The Privacy Act 2020 also applies once you are collecting information about identifiable people, so keep recordings only as long as you need them and tell people where you reasonably can. This is general information, not legal advice.

How long will it run on one charge?

Up to 18 hours of continuous recording, or up to 30 hours when voice activation is switched on, because the recorder is idle through the silences. Left switched on but not recording it will sit on standby for up to two months.

What does voice activation do, and when should I use it?

Voice activation holds the recorder ready and only writes audio while it can hear sound. Use it for anything with long quiet stretches, such as a lecture or an all day workshop, where it saves both battery and memory. Use continuous recording when you want an unbroken timeline with the pauses intact.

How much audio does it hold, and how do I get it off?

The 8 GB of internal memory is rated at up to 300 hours. Connect the recorder to a computer with the USB 2.0 connection and copy the files across in the same way you would from a USB drive.

Will it pick up a voice from across a room?

The microphone is rated to about 10 metres, which covers a normal meeting room or a small lecture theatre. Intelligent noise reduction helps with background noise, but as with any recorder, the closer the recorder sits to the person speaking the clearer the result.

Does it need a memory card or a separate charger?

No. The 8 GB is built into the recorder and it charges over the same USB connection you use to move files, so there is nothing extra to buy or carry.
