VOICEGIFT Mini-Me Holiday Gift, 60-Second Multi-Message Audio Recorder for Plush Toys, Quilts, Pillow, Crafts, Playful Mini Voice Gift Inserts for Custom Sound Gifting & DIY Projects 2-Pack

I’m Djing 2 Halloween costume contests and participating in a few more of them dressed as Scorpion from the 2021 Mortal Combat film. (Side note, Mortal Combat is spelled with a K in all of its branding) This little voice box really tied my entire costume together, since it allowed me to quickly record Scorpion’s iconic, “Get Over Here!!” line in a matter of seconds. The instructions are as simple as it gets. You move the switch to record, and then you hold down the only button on the mini recorder while you record. Simply letting the button go when you’re finished ends the recording. At that point, you can move the switch to the play position, then you hit the only button on the product to play your sample. The sound quality is average, which is especially good when you consider the small form factor the mini recorder has. The visual design is as basic as it gets, but that’s because it’s principal is clearly function over form. There’s no learning curve at all, given every aspect of the product is intuitive. These are my 4 suggested additions that would be nice to see in a future product upgrade. 1. A volume slider, currently, it only operates at one level. 2. An easier battery removal and replacement process. In the current model, this process take more time. 3 A higher sample rate for the sound. While this mini recorder sounds good for it’s size, a higher sample rate would improve the clarity of the recordings. 4. Being able to store more than one 20 second sound clip, two or three would be ideal so it could maintain its small form factor.

Super simple to record. Came with batteries although amazon ai said it didn't. Recorded the Ray Charles Christmas song (about 20 secs worth) with ease from the internet holding the unit "mic" to my tablet speaker. Then super glued this year's soundless, over priced Hallmark ornament of Clark in the attic on the non- speaker side of this great little item. After curing, re-wrapped and fit back in the ornament box with ease. Kids were thrilled that their collection of these ornaments with SOUND goes on. Still good either standing or hanging on a tree.

I bought this product to record a message on and insert into a stuffed animal, like they do at build a bear. The message was super easy to record, and the directions were clearly stated on how to record a message and use the product. After recording, the message was played very clearly on the voice box and did not sound muffled at all. The voice box is small enough that it isn’t obnoxious in the stuffed animal, but big enough that it’s easy to locate inside of the stuffed animal. I completed this project around two years ago and the voice box still works great. The voice box is easy to press inside the stuffed animal, it doesn’t take much strength to set off. I would definitely recommend this product for a project similar to mine.

Cool device! Easy directions, decent enough sound quality, priced right.

The recording quality is great! I used this inside of an amigurumi I made. I used tape to keep the switch set to 'On'. Whenever the toy is squeezed the audio comes in LOUD and clear. So much so that I probably should have lowered the volume before recording.

Worked well for stuffed animal pillow of our guinea pigs. I made a video on my phone and then recorded on the recorder from my video. I was able to pin point exact times that the piggies were chirping their cutest and only record those times. I recorded 2 longer blocks and a very short block another long block and a short one. I put the short short blocks in because each press of the button will go to the next recording. So rather than waiting for a long recording to end to get it to stop, just pressing to the short one(with no sound) will turn it "off". See video.

Used to record a recently passed loved one's final voice message to me. Recording was easy to record and play back. I cut open a plushie and inserted the recorder, then I sewed shut. You need to be careful to not accidentally reset the recorder when turning it on. The switch goes from record, off, and play (see picture). Because it's in a plushie, I have to carefully switch from off to play, then press the button. I put an extra piece of duct tape over the "play" side so I would know which direction to push it when I sew up the plushie.

Haven't had these for even a month. One already dead. These are part of Christmas gifts and hoping the others don't fail.
