This working ballpoint pen hides a digital audio recorder. Its voice-activated mode (SVOS) pauses recording when there is no sound and resumes automatically when sound returns, using memory and battery efficiently so the pen can stay ready for up to 30 days.

• Voice-activated recording: SVOS pauses during silence, restarts when sound is detected and creates a new file for each recording.
• Long recording capacity: 8GB of built-in memory holds up to 144 hours of MP3 audio at 128 kbps, in up to 999 files.
• Long battery life: up to 19 hours of continuous recording, or up to 30 days in voice-activated standby.
• Discreet controls: a hidden twist switch turns recording on and off, and the LED stays off while recording.
• Automatic level control: ALC adjusts the recording level for you.
• Time-stamped files: every recording carries its date and time.
• Simple USB connection: plug into a computer's USB 2.0 port to transfer and play back recordings, use the memory as a USB flash drive, or recharge the built-in battery in about 2 hours. The pen can also run from a computer USB port or a USB AC adapter.
• Battery indicator: an LED shows the remaining battery level.
