Condenser mics like the Blue Yeti (or its smaller Yeti Nano version) get recommended a lot, but they have several drawbacks and require careful handling. They're also not exactly cheap.
I usually use my iPad Pro and Pencil for consecutive assignments, but @pavli_uni kindly sent me their two BlockG interpreter notepads and a pen to test. (blockg.de/c/dolmetscherb…) Here’s what I think about them.
(They carry other stuff on their online shop, too, but I’ll just focus on the notepads here because I don’t know of any other outlet that makes them specifically for interpreters.)
BlockG have the “Everyday” and the “Ultimate”, and they come with either one or two vertical margin lines. I don’t usually use lines, and I’m wondering if interpreters who do would prefer drawing them themselves (because it’s calming). Thoughts?
