Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Capture Crisp Audio with the Olympus VN-702PC Voice Recorder by Predrag Hall

Great voice recorder

I have not yet tested all the functions of this voice recorder. At the moment I can say that the voice recording quality is fantastic. Even in a slightly noisy room AND from a distance, you'll still be able to understand speech during playback. Playback on a standalone speaker is good, but not great. This can be overcome by listening with headphones or exporting it to your computer for listening in another way. The built-in memory allows you to record an incredible amount of time. You could possibly archive and catalog every single conversation you will ever have in your life involving your computer. The memory is expandable. Battery life is good. This is necessary to confirm verbal agreements, meetings, visits to the doctor. I just wish it was a little shorter in length. For a good voice recording, that's hard to beat. UPDATE: I have a big problem - unwillingness. I prefer one touch recording. For this you have to slide the power button and keep it pressed until the information appears on the screen. Then it should load. Only after the download is complete can you activate the recording with the red button. If you try to leave it in standby mode, it will turn off automatically after a short while. If you click record you will miss the session if the device is off. As a result, I missed some entries. Also, rechargeable batteries would be better than spare batteries. So the Olympus VN-702PC could be made almost perfect by: miniaturization, permanent standby or one-touch instant recording and rechargeable.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
