Sometimes you buy a gadget or get given one as a present and it turns out to be far more useful than you'd ever expected. This could be one of those gadgets.
It's dead simple to operate. There are two switches, one on the front and one on the side of the compact device. The one on the front switches from record to play. The one on the side is to start playing, recording or deleting. It records about 10 seconds of sound.
The Recording Keychain comes in most useful as a fag packet substitute. You know the scene: Leaving the club there's a phone number you're desperate to get. Using whatever writing implement comes to hand - a pencil from the bookies, an eyeliner, anything - you scrawl down the number on a fag packet.
The following morning you realise that you've binned the fag packet and with it the chance of everlasting happiness, or at least a great night out followed by breakfast. But with your Recording Keychain you won't risk missing out.
All you need to do is hold the Recording Keychain in front of the potential love of your life and get them to say their phone number. Of course, hearing it the following morning may remind you that passion looks different through the bottom of a glass.
There are loads of other uses for the Recording Keychain. Ever forgotten where you've parked the car in a multi-storey? Just record the location. Need a quick reminder of an appointment when you don't have a pen to hand?
Or you may just want to capture the rasping power and sound of a really good fart to share with your friends and colleagues. :)
It comes with batteries and the audio quality is amazingly good for such a small device.
