Learn More about the SL100 Voice Recorder Pen

Product Details

The SL100 is the world's slimmest voice recorder pen, designed to look and feel like a real pen while delivering professional-grade recording capabilities. It writes with real ink and records with a simple slide of the clip—no buttons, lights, or sounds. Voice activation captures only when sound is detected, with five sensitivity levels to match your environment. Choose from three quality modes and record up to 144 hours of audio on 4GB of built-in memory. The battery lasts up to 20 hours per charge and recharges fully in just one hour.

Unlike most pens, the SL100 includes a wired remote for playback directly from the pen using headphones—no computer required. The remote provides access to settings and advanced navigation controls, including 10-second or 2-minute skip options. Select from broadcast-quality PCM for professional content, XHQ for premium clarity, or HQ for extended capacity. Adjust microphone sensitivity across three levels to capture nearby conversations or voices from across larger rooms. Schedule recordings to start automatically at the same time each day for hands-free monitoring.

Audio files save in MP3 format and transfer easily to any Mac or Windows computer. With optional time/date stamping (Windows only), it's easy to stay organized. Toggle the LED indicator on or off for complete discretion when needed. Ideal for meetings, lectures, or discreet recording, the SL100 delivers professional performance with a luxury aluminum body in a sleek, everyday tool.
