FoCase Note AI Voice Recorder, Transcribe & Summarize, Translation, APP Control with Chat GPT, Magnetic, 64GB Memory, Support 112 Languages, Audio Recorder for Phone Calls, Lectures, Meetings, Black

Brought this to record university lectures and have to say I was more than shocked by the quality and accuracy for the price! Not only are my notes much better I’m also performing better and achieving better marks as I'm able to use my notes for my assessments that’s a great use. There’s only 2 buttons on it so super simple to use and the battery life is great, lasted me for a week before needed to recharge and I love that it is magnetic and just attaches to the MagSafe on my iPhone.

This is a great recording device - it is small, easy to operate, and works well - picking up my voice very clearly. If it were just a recorder that would be good; but it is much more than that. Downloading an app to your phone enables the recording device and phone to 'talk to each other'. Audio files can be transferred easily (no wires needed) and speedily from the recorder to my phone. From there files can be shared, or transcribed and summarised. The very generous 1800 free minutes a month is more than enough for my needs. The transcription and summaries and mindmaps can also be shared easily - so nothing is locked in the app. I was sceptical whether this product would match the much more expensive competition, but it does a lot better than I anticipated for a very reasonable price. I also needed to contact customer service for help and got a personalised and speedy response to my question. I have no qualms in recommending this product, and, in the unlikely event of anything not working as expected you will find first class help from customer support.

Nice bit of kit, better value for money than the super expensive one, easy to use, small in size so discreet and unimposing. Comes with a charger and a little storage pouch and a mag ring if you need one to secure it to the back of your phone to record calls. Works well for taking notes but I had an issue with registering on the app so I could access all the functionality. Took a bit of tooing and froing over email but eventually got it sorted (the verification kept saying it failed so I couldn’t get any further along the registration process) with the customer service agent setting up the account as I didn’t have a separate phone available to try and complete it myself (she thought it may be the phone that was causing an issue, I have an iPhone XR) but it works fine now, I have registered my account, changed my password and hey presto!!! Fab little gadget that will help me no end!!! Good to note too that the company have no access to the files you create so everything is secure on your phone or file system.

So this device works as advertised however, the chat gpt4 is an internal subscription service anyone need transcribing or summary over 1800minutes per month will need a internal subscription model. I imagined I could just add my chatgpt service, not subscribe to another one. If you're ok with this then this is a great device. Depends on your use case. For me 1800minutes a month is not the right usage model. Compared with the more pricier models this will be what you pay more for no doubt. For the price point this is excellent, just make sure you know what you need first.

The product is very good, the translation option allows me to review my recordings via a timed option. The sound quality has been excellent and the size is perfect for just dropping into my pocket. I did have a small issue with buzzing over the top of my recordings, when I contacted the helpline/customer services the service I received was absolutely fantastic, I cannot say just how good the customer service is/was. Within 2 days I had received a new device.

I picked up this recorder app hoping it would simplify my meeting workflow and ease transcription into ChatGPT. For the first couple of months it worked really well: clear audio, smooth interface, and I could reliably record meetings then export for transcription. It genuinely felt like a “set-and-forget” tool I could depend on. Then, after roughly three months of usage, it suddenly stopped working. The recording just wouldn’t start. I uninstalled the app, re-installed it, rebooted my phone, checked permissions – nothing helped. I tried reaching out to support but found the process frustrating and slow, and I didn’t get to a definitive fix. Because I had grown dependent on it (especially for transcribing conversations), the failure hit me hard. In short: great for a short run, but unreliable over the longer term. If you’re looking for something to become a core part of your workflow, I’d be cautious – and definitely consider exploring other brands or apps that give stronger support and longer-term reliability.

As a health professional, I've been using a dictaphone from the time of the horse and cart and my subsequent battles with tapes in these were legendary. Enter the FOCASE AI recorder and this has been a complete game changer. Easy-to-use out-of-the-box without any pfaf and it pretty much hits the ground running from the first moment. The transcription is intuitive and the quality of output is excellent. There are heavily promoted items on the market right now and which are much pricier and which also comes with hidden subscriptions which locks one in. With this device, one gets a generous 1.8k minutes pm allowance which should be sufficient for average individual and, even if one has to take out a subscription, it is relatively inexpensive. As for the device itself, it's well made, eminently portable and pocketable and extremely easy to use even for someone who may not be tech savvy. Such is my confidence with this that I have bought three of them for use by colleagues. In short, look no further, this recorder is understated but highly rated and is most definitely very much recommended. Addendum (23/06/25): I had a slight technical problem with the recorder and was most impressed by the support offered by Lily from their support team. Apart from the promptness in their response, was their kind offer to expeditiously send me a replacement which they did. I have now used this recorder for about 3 months almost daily and can confidently say that has helped enormously with my letter/report writing, capturing interviews and has most definitely increased the level of my productivity. This is cutting edge stuff. Highly, but highly recommended. (Ps. I'm not being paid to do this review)

I am surprised what these gadgets are capable of. It is quite easy to set it all up in the app. and to navigate. I bought it for my wife who writes short stories but it's now easier to record and then get it transcribed onto her tablet. I gave it a trial today and it works fine. The recording quality is excellent . Astonishing. Value for money.
