Audio card recorders
Monday, April 4th, 2005Reflecting on my discussion of the audio card recorders in lesson 6 of the Information Management course, I wanted to get some other perspectives. Ellie, the Carroll Center’s esteemed Personal Management instructor, tells me that she prefers the Vox Com 3 to either of the other two I mentioned in the lesson. The Vox Com machine is much smaller than either the Can-do or the Card Master. Additionally, the cards themselves are much smaller. In fact, they are just like plastic credit cards as opposed to the longish paper cards of the other two machines.
Ellie says the Vox Com 3 cards are easier to manipulate because they are rigid and are more easily placed in the reader slot. She finds the smaller size to be a big advantage. A person can carry around the machine with him or her easily, and the smaller cards can be attached to more things unobtrusively. She also likes the fact that the Vox Com cards can get wet with out adverse consequences. This means that you could wash the cards if something spills on them.
