|As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I often attend meetings and wish to record them and play them back at my leisure. I want to check my own mistakes and the quality of my teaching ability. It was at a very cheap price. It has a very large memory and is simple to use. I do recordings to send to my son in Australia but he is unable to convert the recording to something that he can listen to on his PC. So far it is very reliable but other products record in MP3 a much more accessible format.
I bought this for somebody else, thinking it was similar to the Olympus WS100 which I have been using for some years. In fact it is nowhere near as good, particularly as regards sound quality. The reproduction is tinny and telephone-like regardless of the settings or microphone used. It's adequate for dictation but a bit irritating if you have to listen to a full-length lecture or talk. The WS100 is good enough to record music, although not hi-fi of course. Also unless the model has the suffix PC it's not possible to transfer files directly to another device such as a laptop or computer. All you can do is play the file and re-record it on the other device with a cable from the earphone socket. Finally, the maximum record time at the HQ setting is only about two hours. Considering how much better the slightly newer Olympus voice recorders have become I wouldn't recommend this one. It's adequate but very basic.Read full review
