When I give a talk, I generally record the screen, plus there's a video recording of the room. I want to record the voice too, and annoyingly enough, the tiny little radio microphones that people use at conferences typically need a receiver. It's great when a conference has one, but sometimes they don't.

My question: what is the best way to record my own voice? I cannot realistically use a wired mic attached to the laptop b/c I might be moving about the room. I'm thinking maybe Bluetooth or some such? Whatever it is, it needs to be something wearable so I can move about.

Any ideas?

Maybe a lavalier (lapel microphone) attached to a small recorder in your pocket will do the job.

Found a Sennheiser model, but $600... seriously? – Dmitri Nesteruk Feb 25 at 21:20
Zoom H1 ($80) + Rode Lavalier mic ($249) will do the job :) – Anthony Agius Feb 27 at 0:30

I can recommend you to Musicshake.com using in your computer as a audio recorder. It offers a wide array of genres and instruments to choose from, and even provides a suite of voice recording and editing features.

Also, I don't think that a web based recording app will help the OP much when he needs a portable solution. – Friend Of George♦ Feb 26 at 20:13

This is neat stuff, though not sure about using an iPhone :) – Dmitri Nesteruk Feb 26 at 12:32

This is the best way to do it - even if you don't have an iPhone, buy an iPod touch (they're like $100 2nd hand) and pop it in your pocket when recording. – Anthony Agius Feb 27 at 0:28

I think you're missing the point - I know how to record things, I just need the right hardware. – Dmitri Nesteruk Feb 26 at 12:33
