Product Details
Some recording needs stretch across weeks rather than hours. For professionals who need reliable documentation over extended periods without daily maintenance, the VA30 delivers exceptional battery life in a pen that writes with real ink. A simple twist of the top starts recording—no buttons, no lights, no visible indicators that might draw attention.
Voice activation mode extends battery life up to 30 days by recording only when sound is detected, pausing automatically during silence. When continuous capture matters more, the VA30 runs for 19 hours straight on a single charge. The 8GB of built-in memory holds up to 144 hours of clear 128kbps audio, storing weeks of recordings without transfers. A concealed mode switch lets you toggle between voice-activated and continuous recording in seconds, adapting to different environments without fumbling with controls.
The pen plugs directly into any Mac or Windows computer for instant file access—no cables or software required. Time and date stamps keep everything organized when configured on Windows. It functions as a USB flash drive for storing documents alongside your recordings. The VA30 looks like a premium writing instrument because that's exactly what it is—one that happens to remember every conversation.
