🔊 Enhanced Efficiency: Olympus 2-Hour Digital Voice Recorder with PC Interface Review

I like the wide layout. It has a number of attractive useful features. I especially like the HQ option. This device is also quite easy to use.

is a very old boxed item. The Duracell batteries that came in that fully sealed plastic package were old and the acid on those batteries rubbed off the white acid.

I have already bought 2 and will buy more. The fact that they also connect digitally to a PC is amazing for the price. The buttons are well placed and the sound quality and speaker are good. You can't beat this price of $12 and $17 for repairs. They came in new packaging and apparently new units too.

It's perfect for what I use it for. I'm one of those women who always forgets something. I use a Dictaphone when I need groceries or something to pick up, write my own note and then at the end of the day review it and mark it on my calendar. This works great when you just need an extra reminder like me!

I bought this about a year ago and threw away the installation CD. I assumed the software would be available over the internet. I was wrong. I called tech support and they said I had to buy another machine to get the CD. They try to rip people off. Stay away. Without software, you cannot get sound through the PC/USB interface. Generic drivers do not work.

I have 2 of these recorders and they work great. could not find any additional driver information on the Olympus website. An email sent to Olympus gives me an automatic acknowledgment of receipt but never a reply. Hopefully one day Olympus will release a driver for Vista.

So - get started! I thought I had found the answer to my search - a relatively cheap voice recorder with a PC connection - amazing! The dictaphone is of pretty good quality, the voice is distorted towards that cheap microphone wine we so dread - when the voice of all mankind rings out. the same - but not enough to bother you! I was very happy with it, value for money until it was time to connect so I could download the captured gems of wisdom hey what you know! on an XP machine with SP2…
