For hands-off use, choose voice activated recording so you capture speech without long silent gaps. For longer sessions, choose a long battery life voice recorder and make sure storage suits how often you transfer files. If you want the easiest workflow, look for USB file transfer and simple MP3 playback so reviewing recordings stays quick.
