is it a voice recorder or not? can you use it without that black dumbbell looking thing on the top? does that unplug and let you use it as just a digi

Hi Marilyn C.: This little item is a voice recorder but it must be used with an iphone, ipod or ipad. It uses the recording app you choose in these devices to record. I use it in choir rehearsal, but be warned, it uses lots of battery juice. So you need to be plugged in somewhere to prevent battery drain. The dumbbell things are actually the microphones.

It is more than a voice recorder, it can make stereo high quality recordings! You have to knows the Tascam iM2 is the "black dumbbell" on the top of an iPhone, muste be the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s, not compatible with the iPhone 5 or 6. Note that without the Tascam iM2, you can record voice in mono with correct quality...

I've recorded voice conversations between two people. It worked well - just make sure you angle towards the person or peopple you want to capture. It is one piece. You can use SoundCloud.com to upload your recordings to better manage them.

Well, it did record my voice right in front of it, but I didn't have time to try out other recordings, like room sounds,because the recorder snapped it's belt and now sits in the corner awaiting a part. Also, the FM antenna snapped off the first time I tried to pulled out, just before the tape recorder broke down. Good Luck!

It's not in the vinicity of me, but I remember it has such a function. It can do anything a normal recorder can do. Ask others to make sure plz!

No its a piece of garbage, u get what u pay for. I connected to laptop, I recorded my voice but it still has poor quality. Don't waste your money.

I haven't tried that yet. I would like to know myself. And also what the yellow icon is below the headphone and microphone jacks. If it does record properly (in stereo) email me at halsmithnauvoo@gmail.com. As a fellow-owner, we have to help each other out.

This device will act just like a normal (external) voice recorder in your particular case. You don't have to plug it into your phone either. I have to admit that this recorder is very sensitive, so probably you will get good recording quality. But I wouldn't recommend it as voice recorder in phone mode - quality is not that good as one may expect.

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.

1). Did you connect it via the USB cable that was provided?2). Is the green light on?3). Did you use the provided disc to install the drivers for microphone.4). Did you tell your system to use the Podcaster and NOT the microphones that are built into the monitor?5). We use the AVS audio editor to record. You may need a third party software for recording/editing.This is a great microphone.

Byron,This model does not have the voice activated feature. There are other Sony recorders that do. If interested in those models, feel free to message me and will try and help you. Have a super day!

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

I ordered this for my daughter and simply can't figure it out. Are there some better instructions out there. It seems to work for a bit but isn't the record button supposed to blink all the time while recording? I changed batteries twice but it seems to just stop? Any suggestions for a very technically challenged mom?

You can plug it straight into your computer or iDevice. Both will recognize it and let you record without any additional equipment.

I dont think u can make voice recordings on this device. However maybe you should check the device manual for this item to be sure. I think you can get it online.

I believe the unit has audio input but I don't use it as I don't have audio cameras.

OFF TOPIC, but I have really gotten unexpected value from the voice recorder - I'm something of a community activist, attend board meetings etc. and find the recorder to be more than adequate to 'tape" meetings - I load the .wav files in Audacity and export as .mp3's - lose a little volume but very compact and portable after that.

I think it's great for recording a lecture, It's a voice recorder after all. I mostly use it for music/voice solo recordings and short story recordings, and it works well.
