Hi Gerry,

Try this resource:

It may have some options to consider in order to improve the audio input 
for the device.

I have used several of the iOS notetaking apps and, as Dan pointed out, 
it tends to work better in smaller spaces.  For larger settings, I have 
moved closer to the speaker in order to get a good recording...which 
also makes it harder to play Angry Birds without being noticed! <grin>

Take care,
Sean
