How it's used
Refers specifically to information that has been preserved for future reference, whether written, digital, or audio-visual. It functions as both a noun for the data itself and a verb for the act of capturing that information. When used as a verb, it is often interchangeable with 記低, though 記錄 carries a slightly more formal or systematic tone.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 記錄 with 記憶, which means memory. Remember that 記錄 is for external records or logs, while 記憶 is for internal mental recollection.
