# Audio-Recording Wristbands The Kapture Band Acts as a Constant Spoken Word Diary By Meghan Young | Published 2013-08-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kapture-watch References: [dvice](http://www.dvice.com/2013-8-24/heres-wristwatch-records-everything) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/kaptureaudio) The world is ever-changing and one of the biggest changes to date is the desire to record just about anything and everything that is going on in people's lives; the Kapture wristband takes that to the next level. Instead of focusing solely on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mythic-ai) photos, Vine videos and [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faxo) statuses, the Kapture band allows people to constantly record their audio surroundings. In a way, it can be considered like a wire tap without the need for a drug bust. Yet although the Kapture band records continuously, it is only able to hold 60 seconds of sound before rebooting. A person can tell it to preserve a certain number of seconds up until it reaches 60 seconds. In a way, this prevents any unnecessary recordings or becomes a failsafe like [Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchats-ai-video-lenses). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Continuous Audio-recording:** Opportunity to develop more advanced audio-recording technology allowing for longer continuous recording periods. - **Wearable Recording Devices:** Potential to create wearable devices dedicated to recording and archiving various types of information. - **Automation of Information Collection:** Possibility of automating the collection and organization of various kinds of information captured by different devices. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovative technology companies could further develop wearable recording devices to capture and store information. - **Professional Security:** There is room for security companies to design advanced technologies for discreet recording and monitoring for investigative or surveillance purposes. - **Data Management:** Businesses could explore automating the collection of various types of information to enhance data management and analysis processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Voice Recorders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindclip.md) - [Wearable Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tband.md) - [Note-Taking Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-index-01.md) - [Safety-Enhancing AI Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rewind-pendant.md) - [Discreet AI-Enabled Pins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plaud-notepin.md) - [Automated Day-Tracking Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-journal.md) - [Computational Audio Recording Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-recorder-concept.md) - [Hybrid Camera Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musiccam.md) - [AI-Powered Voice Recorders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voice-recorder.md)
