Digital audio recorders - This recorder is small and easy to carry. You can also use the voice activation feature so there is less audio to review. I use this for my notes as well. Most units record the time of the recording as well which is very useful. When using audio recorders be sure to state the location, time of investigation, and investigators names. When recording investigators names it would be wise to have each individual present state their own names, which will make it easier for distinction amongst voices heard on the tape during review. Voice activation mode should be deactivated on tape recorders during use when electronic voice phenomena is trying to be achieved due to the fact that it usually cuts off beginnings of words, sentences, and phrases. This is not necessary with digital recorders and they actual seem to work better in voice activation mode.

Hey guys, I did not get a voice activated recorder on Patrick's recommendation. He said that in many cases if an audible voice is not heard, the recorder will not record so we could miss out on the EVP.

I've got 2; a Panasonic and an Olympus. I don't think I paid more than $60 or $70 for either one of them, and I've had great luck getting EVPs with both. They both can be connected to the computer via USB, which makes it very easy to download audio files.
