It was supposed to be voice activated but basically I could never figure out how to make that work, and had lots of problems with the menus, files trying to retrieve them etc. The only time it ever helped me was recording some very loud strange pre-dawn sounds I started hearing one spring behind the house. Thought they sounded like a prehistoric bird:) but they turned out to be a fox. Fox and fox kits sound NOTHING like I would have thought. I have no idea where it is now so I have a good excuse to get a new one. Any recommendations out there? Nothing too esoteric or expensive.
