Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Capture Crisp Audio: Olympus VN-480 Digital Voice Recorder Review by Dan Worku

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I use OLYMPUS to record my main presentations.

I take my OLYMPUS VN-480PC and start recording. That's easy. WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT IT: Great benefits! The recording quality at headquarters is much better than mine. I can download it to my computer, email it, or upload it to my website. The screen is larger, clearer and easy to read. The recorder's solid construction with a durable plexiglass front cover provides good screen protection. The batteries are sealed tight and don't move around like my old PC digital recorder. Moving batteries around can ruin your recording, especially if you're trying to capture a motivational presentation, and that's really smart. Another great thing I love about the VN-480PC is that you can't easily delete it. After pressing the delete button, you actually have to press YES or No to delete, and you even use separate buttons for that (YESSSssss). You might think this is more cumbersome, but below I'll explain why this is a great feature. Why is it important. I will give two reasons. My other digital voice recorder didn't have a separate delete button, and I think having a separate button will help you avoid accidental deletions. Because accidentally pressing a button does not forgive mistakes. Because my old digital voice recorder only had to press one button (I pressed it for 1 second to delete the current entry, or I pressed it for 3 seconds to delete the entire recordings folder). As you might have guessed, I deleted up to 89 separate recordings of songs that took me 6 months to record because I pressed the button for too long. That simply cannot be the case with my new OLYMPUS VN-480PC. Now I can go home with peace of mind with this erasing mode, which I could never achieve with my old digital voice recorder. I like my VN-480PC and if you buy it I hope you like yours too. WHY DID I NOT GIVE IT 5 STARS? I mean really) the recording quality at low leaves a lot to be desired. So I recommend that you record High or Medium unless you want the sound quality of an old radio.

Pros
  • Compact digital voice recorder with integrated flash memory 64 MB
Cons
  • I have doubts
