Rating: Summary: This one's worth it. Review: Bought this for my wife for Christmas last year. She really likes it. She keeps it on the visor in the car to record all her "honey do's" as she's out and about. My son-in-law now wants one to jot down business reminders he thinks of while on the road. It's quite convenient to use, but I pasted a copy of the instructions on the back for the memory challenged like I (am).
Rating: Summary: The Perfection of "Keeping-It-Simple". Review: I have carried the VT-90 for over 6 years and only needed to change the batteries (the lithium type) twice. I recently misplaced the unit and have been LOST without my quick and easy note taker. I use it while on the hands-free cell phone while driving to repeat numbers or important phrases given to me in conversation. At meetings or receptions I use it to record contact names and/or numbers. I use it to record phone numbers, www.addresses or other information from radio or billboard ads. It is very easy to carry with me all the time to jot down those momentary thoughts, ideas or "oh my gosh-things I need to do stuff". As a quick verbal note pad - it can't be beat. I generally capture my notes later on my To-do list....it was easy to find a replacement on Amazon!

Rating: Summary: Good (for what it is). Review: I used to have a different model by Voice It that used AAAA batteries (yes, that's 4 A's), but I finally stopped using it because they were too expensive and too hard to find.One day my neighbor and I were talking about how great they are, and when I told him why I don't use mine anymore, he gave me an old one of his, a VT90, whose battery door kept falling off. I went down and picked up some new batteries and taped the door shut with packing tape. That was over 6 months ago; it still works great. The memory is small, but enough to help me remember those fleeting ideas I get as I'm driving along and can't jot down. Those 90 seconds fill up fast, so I keep messages brief, just enough to remind myself later. When I get home I add them to a text file on my PC, or write them in my planner, and then erase them to free up space. The sound quality is decent, but not great. A couple of times I've spendt 10 minutes or more struggling to decipher messages; now I always replay messages right after recording them to make sure I can understand them. If you have to re-record something it only takes a few seconds. The mike pickup is good -- you don't have to hold it close to your mouth. It's simple to use, and with just a little practice you're an expert. I never needed to read any instructions. And you can use it while driving without taking your hands off the steering wheel, or your eyes the road. To sum up: If you want to use this to ramble on about screenplays, or keep a personal journal, you're better off with a pricier model or a cassette recorder. But for the price, it's a good little tool to give yourself quick reminders, and it's very easy to use. PS: It takes 4 lithium batteries (which can be a little costly). I recommend taping the door -- if it slips out of your pocket and hits the floor, the door will probably come off; the batteries will pop out, and all your voice notes will be lost forever.

Review: I used to have a different model by Voice It that used AAAA batteries (yes, that's 4 A's), but I finally stopped using it because they were too hard to find. One day my neighbor, a steel construction foreman, and I were talking about how great they are, and told him that I don't use mine anymore. He gave me an old one of his, a VT90, whose battery door kept falling off. I went down and picked up some new ones and taped the door shut with packing tape. That was over 6 months ago, and it's still doing pretty well. I find the 90 second total record time pretty short, but this is still OK for helping you to remember those fleeting ideas as you're driving along and just can't jot it down. It fills up fast for me, so I keep my messages brief, just enough to remind myself of them later. The sound quality is decent, but not great. After a couple of times spending 10 minutes or more struggling to decipher earlier reminders, I replay messages right after recording them to make sure they're intelligible. Sometimes I have to re-record them, but that whole operation still only takes a few seconds. The mike pickup is good. You don't have to hold it close to your mouth.

If you want to use this to ramble on about screenplays, or keep a personal journal, don't get this. But for the price, it's a good little tool to give yourself quick reminders, and it's very easy to use. PS: The batteries cost me about $... total at K-Mart. I recommend a little tape on the door -- if it slips out of your pocket, the door comes off, and the batteries pop out, all your voice notes gone forever.

Rating: Summary: Worth every penney ! Review: lightweight ,easy to carry my batteries lasted 1 year am thinking about buying a second one.
Rating: Summary: Voice It - Recorder Review: My husband and I own three of these. They are great for those of us who are "memory challenged." My husband is a real estate broker and he keeps one in his car to record property listing phone numbers and addresses (for lease/sale signs). I keep mine on the visor to remind myself of the things I think of while I am sitting in traffic! I also use it for my grocery/shopping lists. I also taped the instructions on the back of mine (a previous reviewer did the same). My only dissatisfaction with mine is that the cover for the battery case kept popping off so I taped it closed. This recorder is thin and lightweight and is very easy to use.

Rating: Summary: Will never die Review: Okay read the other reviews for how it works. I have had mine for eight years. I have dropped it, washed it with the clothes, exposed it to heat, cold, had my two year old play with it, lost it for six months under the sofa, and sat on it a few thousand times. IT STILL WORKS. For taking quick notes, it can't be beat. It will not die...
