Training/Recording devices

[concertman1971]

I had a call with this company last week https://getmicdup.com/

Their platform is pretty amazing, and I think it would be a great tool for umpires to use in-game for evaluation of partners as well as self-evaluation. The mic saves the audio and then you upload it to your phone/computer when the game is over. It will transcribe the words for you and you can then share clips/games/situations with colleagues. 

Would love the group thoughts on something like this. With the HS "no mic/camera" rule for players, do you think this would be allowed?

I like the concept, however I don't know how associations would feel about having the umpire mic'd up during a game. Also, 25 bucks a month is a bit high.

I disagree. 25 cents a game is a steal!

Some state associations prohibit their officials using cameras, recording devices, etc.

I can see some merit in it, but I doubt I need a playback of me muttering, “f*** that base coach, I might dump his @$$ if he doesn’t shut up.”
