Question: Does this need to be plug in to USB port or does it record standalone and just use USB to downlaod to computer?
Document: I'm not sure what the others got but my voice-activation works perfectly. I know because there are no pauses between conversations. Others might have a problem with too much static noise in the surrounding which would cause it to record continuously, but if you're smart you'll understand this and know its working as intended. Operation is EXTREMELY SIMPLE, you shouldnt need any instructions if you have common sense. turn on to start recording. turn off and plug into computer. listen to your .wav file recording.
Very nice device. Works well and easy to use, just plug it in to your PC and play recoderd audio.
item came and after being on computer all night it would not record. it says something is there but no sound when I play the item it says is there. will return this. very disappointed.
I was a little disappointed that the unit does not record while it's actually plugged into the computer, but again, not a deal breaker. The recording quality is pretty spectacular, and it does indeed record for quite a long time. This item IS NOT voice/sound activated as advertised, unless it requires absolute silence with absence of ambient sound (clocks ticking, fans blowing, etc.)
Purchased this item to record potential buyers as they look at my house, which is for sale. I  was surprised when I received the item, as it comes in a "USB Flash Drive!" package, with no mention of the recording capabilities. I thought maybe I accidently purchased the wrong thing, as I have occasionally made that mistake. Upon opening, I found the poorly written instructions regarding it's recording abilities, and was relieved.
There are very little directions with this voice recorder (how to save it into your computer, how to transfer to disc and how you canrewind and start over.
Not a bad recorder and flash drive for the money. It can be tricky to use so make sure to test it.
Great for class rooms to make sure you get  required info. Can be used as back up for your computer.
This product records good sound and is simple to use. Wish it has time and date stamp, or it may have it but instructions are too small for me to read.
It is OK, when it works! With this unit's intermittent performance and the experience of the other purchase,  Mini U8 USB Disk HD Hidden Spy Camera 720x480 Motion Detector, I guess from now on I shall not buy ANYTHING sight unseen!
Answer: Plugs into the usb port for charging and pllayback but is a stand a lone for recording.  Hope this helps.
