Comments about Olympus VN-5200PC PC Connectable Digital Recorder:

The only con I found with this product is that you can't go back maybe one sentence or one word if you missed it. It takes you all the way back.

Comments about Olympus VN-5200PC PC Connectable Digital Recorder:

My father died in 2008 so I needed a product to capture/record his voice from his cell phone, the answering machine & a couple of phone messages. This product was a perfect way to capture those recordings & transfer them to sharable formats on my laptop.

What I didn't expect but have enjoyed is other applications -- a short "thank you" or "happy birthday" WAV file that I could forward along easily with an email.

Also, I've found that capturing a few words from a resident at a nursing home has been really special for their families & friends too.

This product has been an unexpected & great solution to a very simple need.
