4 out of 5 stars Very useful for business meetings and important conversations........2007-06-26

I have found this very useful for business meetings and other important conversations. With my past recording I can't tell you how many times I accidentally erased something, but not with this one. Store your recordings on your hard drive or simply make MP3s or CDs for back up or to share. It eats batteries like they are going out of style though, so there is a reason the case has room for two additional sets. We use rechargeable batteries which makes it a very efficient and easy system for recording often.

5 out of 5 stars Cost-effective, superb engineering!.......2007-06-09

We love this little device! It's easy to use, and has astonishingly good vocal quality. Downloads are quick and easy. Perfect! You'll love it!

1 out of 5 stars Won't work in Windows Vista.......2007-06-09

I bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and it won't install the USB link to the recorder. I called Olympus and they just said that it won't work with Vista. That is: it will NEVER be compatible (they won't issue drivers for Vista). That is: I have to buy a new recorder (bought this only last year). I'll make sure the new one is not an Olympus. (By the way, if you happen to lose the CD and need the drivers, they don't provide them online in their website). It's 2007, my friends, everything should be easier to install, especially USB devices.

5 out of 5 stars Great Recorder.......2007-05-18

I am a mystery shopper and this is a great recorder. It is easy to use and it picks up voices from a pocket in my purse. I also use it with a microphone. You can file the voice recordings into different folders and the recorder is small so it is not obvious. I am very pleased with voice recorder.

5 out of 5 stars Recording Oral History.......2007-05-13

This little recorder is wonderful for my job as curator at a small historical museum. Local people often come into the offices and archives at the museum to tell us stories of their lives, their parents' lives, local historical events and other history. The digital recorder makes it possible for me to record their stories and then write them down later in the computer - without scrambling to keep up with the story-teller and taking notes.

5 out of 5 stars Personal Recorder with an eye for the common geek in us all.......2007-06-17

This small, exceptional, gifted device is a life saver. Literally. I drive for a living and many times need to make notes to remember later. Writing and driving can lead to bad discussions with state employees who want to hand you pretty pink paper. This device saves all those moments and makes life SO much easier. You can record a LONG time on this little device. It takes each recording and puts a number for it. So the first recording you make is 1, the second is 2, and so on. You also get "folders." So you can have folder A, B, and C and have messages 1, 2, 3, under those folders. Then there is the easy fast forwarding of recorded messages to seek to the exact info you needed. THEN we get to the ability to download your recorded messages to the PC.

For the price it is hard to believe. I bought a refurbished one so I saved even more and the one I got looks (and works) like it is brand new. Very happy with this purchase and now I have backup to my pen and notepad, especially for when I am driving...

5 out of 5 stars Works great. .......2007-05-15

It does what it's designed to do. What more can I say! It's an excellent product.

5 out of 5 stars Recorder.......2007-03-16

A Gift for my Husband. He loves it. I even used it once and found it very easy to operate.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Value!.......2007-01-11

I am an author who gets the majority of her ideas during inopportune times. The voice activation feature means all I have to do is talk when my hands are soapy from doing dishes. The voice activation shuts off the machine when you stop talking (unless you bang some dishes and create more noise.) Voice Activation would be more accurately named "Noise activation."
Even though it looks as if it would be complicated, it's really simple to use.
The alarm feature is nice and even goes off when the unit is not on. When you hit the stop button when the alarm is going off, it plays the associated file you recorded.
It doesn't have an "OFF" button, instead it's called "HOLD." There is no extra little watch battery to "hold" the settings when you switch the battery, so this setting is necessary if you want to keep your settings. It doesn't seem to affect battery life much. I'm still using the battery it came with, no problem.
The main reason I got this model was because it hooked up to the PC; transferring my story notes to the story folder on my PC. I was expecting text files to come out, but it gave me .wav files. The software needed to download the sound files is the Olympus Wave Player, included on CD. It is for Windows 98/2000/ME/XP. I have ME and had no problem either with loading the software or downloading the .wav files from the recorder. The whole thing is smaller than my cell phone, yet people with large fingers don't dispair. The buttons are easy to use.

4 out of 5 stars good for voice recording.......2006-08-14

This item is as it says, a voice recorder. It however is not good enough for recording music. This software is good and the product is easy to use. Even though I sent it back I'm still giving it a four out of five because it did voice recording just fine, I needed something to record music.
