Interference from the ambient background noise could be a problem at certain loud events. but it clearly picked up everyone's voice at our meeting, along with the sound of forks hitting plates. I think that it is potentially a useful tool. By the way, it made a clear recording of the jelly dispensing rack.
You should be aware that local laws vary on the legality of recording conversations.Some require that all parties consent to be recorded. Not implying that you are doing anything more than making sure you get facts and quotes right, just thinking you should be aware.
