digital recorders for lectures?

<p>I have been looking into getting one for when i'm in college. When i was talking with the head of their disabilities office she suggested one with dictation.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me what this does and how much it will cost? Also what brands are the best for recorders as well?</p>

<p>I have a [url=<a href=“http://www.livescribe.com/]LiveScribe[/url”>http://www.livescribe.com/]LiveScribe[/url</a>] Smart Pen and am very fond of it. It links your notes to the audio recording. When you are reading your notes you can tap on the notes and it will automatically play what you were listening to when you wrote that down. It’s pretty cool.</p>

<p>Don’t spend a lot. I got one for my D at Wal-Mart. It works fine. RCA brand. She records lectures and then corrects her notes from that.</p>

<p>I take back what I said. Buy that livescribe witch pen instead. ;)</p>
