Product Details
The VA30 combines the professionalism of a high-quality writing pen with powerful recording capabilities that set it apart from other voice recorder pens. It writes with real ink and records discreetly using a simple twist-top control, with no buttons or lights to draw attention. The battery lasts up to 30 days in voice activation mode or 19 hours of continuous recording, making it ideal for extended projects where daily charging is impractical.

The VA30 also functions as a USB flash drive, allowing you to store documents and other files alongside your audio. Time and date stamps keep your recordings organized when configured on Windows.
Setup is straightforward. The pen plugs directly into any Mac or Windows computer without cables or software. Your recordings save as standard MP3 files that work with any media player.
