digital recorder

Voice memo device

A digital recorder is a device that captures audio (and sometimes video) as digital files rather than on analog media like tape.

Commonly used for interviews, lectures, music demos, and voice memos: She brought a digital recorder to the meeting.

The term covers standalone devices and software applications that serve the same function.
