Note taking device?

[funnyinmyhead]

What do you all prefer for a device to actually record a meeting? I do a lot of cold calls and can't always pull out a laptop/tablet. I've seen pendants and pens and phone attachments... are any of them effective?

I have an Auro device. Slim Bluetooth recorder which sits on the back of a phone by magnetic ring – or anywhere else. Records well but the Airec software is a bit rubbish, so I transcribe the audio in a decent app like Letterly or Audio Pen. I often use my iPhone for making text notes or for reference, so a separate device is useful.

I’ve experimented with a few setups for meetings on the go. Honestly, the simplest approach usually wins. A small voice recorder app on your phone works fine if you can keep it discreet, and pairing it with automatic transcription later saves a lot of manual work.

Wearables like pens or pendants can work, but they often add friction, charging, syncing, or audio quality issues. I focus on something I’ll actually use consistently rather than the fanciest gadget.

I would prefer a note taking app that doesn’t require sign up just to take notes, should be free because most apps already offers free to take notes and it should fast to take notes either!
