Product Details

Meetings move fast. Important details get mentioned once and never repeated. For professionals and students who need to capture every word without disrupting the room, the SL100 offers a simple solution: a pen that writes with real ink and records with a slide of the clip. No buttons to press, no lights to draw attention—just natural note-taking with audio backup running quietly alongside.

Five voice activation levels let you set the exact sound threshold that triggers recording, from whisper-quiet to normal conversation. Choose between broadcast-quality PCM for critical content, XHQ for clear everyday capture, or HQ mode when you need maximum recording time. The 4GB of built-in memory stores up to 144 hours of audio, and the battery runs up to 20 hours per charge. When you need to review a recording immediately, the included wired remote lets you plug in headphones and listen directly from the pen—no computer required.

Files transfer to any Mac or Windows computer as standard MP3s. Time and date stamps keep recordings organized when configured on Windows. The slim aluminum body looks and feels like the professional writing instrument it is. You take notes. The SL100 remembers everything else.
