The fast pace of business life in the 21st century has resulted in more and more contracts being forged verbally, exposing people to exploitation by unethical practices. A product is needed to capture the essence of these contracts so the agreements made during a business conversation can be proven.

Remembering the specifics of conversations you had months in the past can be necessary for legal reasons, but practically impossible. To minimise these potential business risks, “Solid State Evidence” (the digital conversation recorder) can provide the level of detail you require, when you require it.

This digital conversation recorder can be your second set of ears. “Solid State Evidence” can capture all conversations throughout an entire working day without sound loss. This portable and concealable device protects the recorded data so that its integrity cannot be challenged. It is a ‘set and forget’ device which is simple to integrate into busy people’s lives.

This digital conversation recorder achieves these objectives:

• Using the highest quality voice compression algorithms
• Incorporating high resolution analog to digital and digital to analog signal conversion
• Utilising low power devices
• By having a simple user-friendly control system
• Maintaining constant signal levels through intelligent analog processing circuits

It will minimise your business risk and ensure that when someone gives their word, it is kept!
