How well does the microphone capture in a classroom environment?

kzm007 · 08-09-2010, 06:07 PM

I'm looking to use this in my classes if I get it, and would like to record the lectures to complement the writing delay on the e-ink tablet.

Could someone direct me to some video or audio of the Edge's capturing abilities in a classroom? I'd probably only need a small-sized room and a medium-sized room sample.

Thank you,

Kegan

I used it at work to record an hour long meeting in a medium sized conference room. It could hold about 15 people. Audio wasn't bad in my opinion. Video would be a bit clunky as you'd have to point the LCD side of the eDGe at the instructor. Not sure how well that would go over. The camera really should habe been on the outside of the case instead of inside.

I used it in a classroom to record a lecture with decent results. Medium sized room, meant to hold about 30 students. I agree that the camera is essentially useless in it's current position, unless we get a video chat app.
