Hi Stuart
I'm afraid we are not able to advise on any sort of equipment. I don't know whether anyone has used equipment in a face to face interview because so few have been done recently. In the past, you had to take two tape recorders, and so two recordings could be made simultaneously and the claimant kept one and the assessor kept one.
Now many assessments are done on the telephone - I assume people record on their phone or on a laptop and keep it for their own use. Claimants can still request for the assessor to make a recording, but we always advise claimants to make their own - jut in case something goes wrong with an official recording.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
