Olympus VN2100PC Digital Voice Recorder Review

I have used this recorder in court and for interviews in person and over the phone and am very pleasantly surprised. I bought this because I finally had it with my mini cassette player that kept failing me. The ability to transfer audio files to my computer is also very convenient for storage and transcription. If I have any complaints, it's the software, which doesn't seem to allow you to transfer individual files from folders to your computer. Instead, you have to transfer entire folders…

I really like the Olympus digital voice recorders. I used to have a Sony, but it broke on me and I don't know why. I wasn't rough with it and I didn't even have it for a year. Anyway, I had an old Olympus VN 480PC and loved it! I used it in class to record lectures and it picked up everyone's voice very well even though it was sitting right next to me and not directly in front of them. Somehow, somehow, I lost this voice recorder; it worked great (I miss it). So I upgraded and bought this…

I've used this to dictate a few times. This is slightly distorted unless the speaker is within a few feet of the recording device. Which isn't a problem if you can put it in your front pocket. The Olympus website has a good shotgun mic that can be helpful when you're not close to the source. My only other valid complaint is the PC transfer software. Firstly, there are no instructions for doing this, although it's pretty easy if you're fairly savvy at connecting external devices to your PC. One…

As a student, some professors lecture too fast. This voice recorder is perfect to take to class and play back later to review your notes. This voice recorder has everything you need/need. First, the sound quality is excellent for a device of this size. The built-in microphone works great in the classroom. The built-in speaker is good, but I would recommend headphones for better quality. I also liked the easy to manage menu items. I, for one, hate reading pages of manuals. The interface is…

I use this voice recorder to take notes and record phone conversations (I have a special adapter that connects the phone jack to the microphone jack on this voice recorder) and I am satisfied in order to. The recorder does not require batteries and records speech well, but depending on what you want to record you may need to purchase an external microphone. I would NOT recommend this recorder for music. The only reason I give this recorder 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn't work with an…

Несколько лет думал о приобретении цифрового диктофона, но, вероятно, откладывал из-за плохого впечатления, которое сложилось у меня о магнитофонах, которые я помню со времен учебы в колледже 25 лет return. Having studied various recorders, I was optimistic about this model, but it exceeded all my expectations. I've only had it for a week but every day I'm using it more and more. Really useful at work, as well as at home and on the go. Very well done; small/light enough to carry in a shirt or…
