I never used a digital recorder before always cassette I purchased it about 30 minutes before a 4 hour meeting. Just reviewed the instructions set it for meeting then saved it to my computer the audio was awesome just like I was at the meeting. Saved to cd to distribute to those unable to attend meeting. Also use it to record read out loud from pdf documetns to listen to later at my convience. Greatest item I ever purhased for the Dollar amount. Would buy it again.

Had to purchase new due to compatibility issues and new PC. Used Olympus DS330 for years. Manual is not that helpful for set up with regards to file transfer to transcriptionist. Conversion of files for transctiption software is combersome. Product is easy to use, but if you press "stop" versus "pause" it will open new file. Be sure the recording format is compatible if using for reports, etc.

The only issue that I have with the product is the sound, low volume, even with the control way up. Sounded like static in the play back.

        Comments about Olympus VN-702PC Digital Voice Recorder:

        I had another very similar recorder and lost it, so I got this one. It's almost identical to the old one except it has a VCVA function. This is designed to eliminate recording of silent "dead air." The problem is when recording a meeting, it stops recording in between statements people make, causing the loss of continuity, context and half the words. I did manage to reset it so it wasn't so sensitive but I am unable to figure out how to turn this function off altogether. What if I am recording a concert? The quiet portions of the music as as important as the loud ones and I don't want a little machine deciding for me. Other than that, it works fine. Batteries last, sound quality is good. It's compatible with my Mac. I didn't have to install any special software in order to use it.

          • Q:

            When in record mode, is it possible to pickup recording after playback of the file. For instance, if I am dictating, and get distracted and do not recall what I last said, am I able to playback the last few seconds of the recording and begin recording from the end of that file, without it starting a new recording?
            Asked on 1/29/2013 by Bradley from United States

            • CUSTOMER CARE

              A:

              When using this product you can pause the recording and resume recording from the same spot at a later time. However, when you playback previously recorded content, your recording will stop not pause. This will create a new file for recording content you return to recording mode.

          • Q:

            How would one transcribe from this device onto hard copy? Is there a foot pedal to start and stop the dictation? Is it possible for this device to transcribe directly to a computer (voice recognition?) - without someone needing to manually transcribe the recording?

            We are currently using a dictaphone with microcasette tapes and transcribing from them. Wondering how this technology differs from that.

              This technology allows easier storage of media and allows storage on the computer. While there may be soft where that would transcript the media it is beyond the scope of this technology.

              You will be able to view the individual audio files in either .mp3 or .wma formats. You will be able to view and manipulate the waveform with appropriate software, such as the free Audacity programme.
