Very pleased........2007-05-13

I bought this as a gift for my seriously tech challenged husband to use at college. Works very well, easy pc set up, very small but completely functional. An exceptional product you would never know it was "reconditioned".

Surprisingly wonderful.......2007-03-10

I bought this product for two reasons: 1. necessity. I needed a voice recorder to record my interviews for my Undergraduate Thesis. 2. It was the cheapest one that had everything I needed (namely a USB connection) and looked decent enough.

I am pleasently surprised at how well this has worked. It takes two AAA batteries to run it. I put in the two batteries that came with the recorder and went to do my first interviews. I'm now 11 interviews in (each being somewhere between 1/2 hour and 1.25 hours) and still on the same batteries!!! And it doesn't look like I'm going to replace them any time soon either. The sound quality is incredible as well. I've been recording on High Quality and have had no problem understanding the recordings later even when the interviewee was mumbling and stuttering. It does a pretty good job of cutting out background noise too. The program that comes with it is very easy to work, which makes for an easier time transcribing.

Overall it was quite a deal considering the price (about $[...]) I certainly recommend this product, it's well worth it.

Very good digital voice recorder.......2006-11-27

It has every thing you need: Nice voice quality, good speaker, nic and earphone entries. It's small, light, good design and PC connection via mini USB. You can have up from 3 hours (best quality) or 8 hours (worst but very acceptable) of recording.
The 4 stars is because data transfer via USB is slow. Even on USB 2.0 connections, it takes 7 minutes to transfer a 25 MB file to the PC (1.5 hours in best quality, wav format) and you depend on the software because you don't see the device in Windows like USB flash memories.

off button?.......2006-07-08

i just got it,and i like what i've seen so far, but i can't find an off button and i can't find anything in the instruction manual on how to turn it on/off. it turns on automatically when you put in batteries. do i have to take out the batteries every time i want to turn it off?
(holding down the stop button doesn't work)

Great, but how can you do transcription? .......2006-02-09

Just purchased this product a few hours ago and actually did
an interview. Playing it back on the voice recorder sounds
GREAT! I downloaded the interview onto my computer & I
can play it back in "real time." Problem is that I need
to type the interview on the recording & so I need to
play the recording back SLOWER than "real time."

I was hoping to be able to play it and have it automatically
rewind a few seconds & play again, so that I can type along.
I don't think there is a way to do that -- does anyone know
if there is?

Besides this major disappointment, I am QUITE pleased for $60.
Thanks!
Beth :)
