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.

        Bought this item so my dad could record his memoirs and send me audio files to transcribe. Neither of us are all the tech savvy and although the instruction book could be better (and larger print!!!) we figured out what we needed to know without much difficulty ... and we're up and running!

            I attend a lot of meetings and note taking is impossible. I just put the recorder in voice activated mode and place it in my top pocket. The integrated speaker isn't the best but when I connect earbuds or playback files on a computer, the quality is awesome. Every word spoken is crystal clear. Even the furthest speaker on the other side of the table can be heard with the best of claritry. I recommend this recorder for any application.

            • 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?

              • 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.

              • A:

                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.
