Reviewing The EasiSpeak Pro Back when I was in the classroom I went to great lengths to try and capture audio. Whether it was just my lessons so I could post them online or to record audio for student portfolios and feedback I never really found a good way to do it. It always felt combersome. I had to have my laptop and an microphone and then I had to worry about power and storage space. I never really got a good set up that worked well.So when I got my hands on the EasiSpeak Pro to try out I got excited because there has to be teachers out there just like me in similar situations. Basically its a wireless microphone that records and stores upto 4 hours of audio. For me the best part no batteries. It is completely rechargeable.It works like other digital recorders. Press the record button and that's it. When done you stop. Every recording is timestamped so when you head over to your computer to grab the audio you can identify each one easily.No computer? No problem. You can play back the recordings through the built in speakers or hook up some headphones and listen. So you could use the device as a listening station or to model good speaking or reading skills.I had no trouble out of the box to get going. I did some sample recording of my 2 year old practicing some reading and the pick up was great. When we played back the files there they were crisp and clear and editing was a breeze.I wish I had an EasiSpeak Pro in my classroom to capture all those moments that trying to get with a laptop just won't do.
EasiSpeak Simple and Easy To Use! I love this little gadget was very easy to use for both myself and my kids. I think my favorite part is that it doesn't use batteries.it charges through a USB port!I used the EasiSpeak in several ways. The first way was introducing a new center to my students. They had practiced the skill before but had never played this particular game. They really enjoyed getting to listen to me explain the center while I was actually working with another small group!The second way I used the EasiSpeak was to allow the kids to record their answers to the centers not only on the recording sheet but record them on the EasiSpeak. It was able to check for correct answers AND check their reading fluency! It was a twoinone assessment tool! And the kids were having a blast recording themselves!The third way I used the EasiSpeak was to record myself reading a book from our class library. I have a handful of students who are reading below grade level. I chose a book that was on grade level recorded it with the EasiSpeak and then they were able to listen to it while following along in the book.
LOVE IT! This is a GREAT product! I had my students read into the microphone and then listen to themselves. I was also able to share the student's recorded reading with their parents or even use it for meetings with the Reading Specialist etc. I told the students when they become fluent readers they can record themselves reading entire books for the lower grades.
