t The product is good,the price is good,the P.&P were also very good. It arrived without a manual but there was a DVD to download the software. The problem is the DVD will not download anything until I key in the serial number and I do not have the serial No. I have sent 3 E.mails to the supplier requesting the number and all three have been completely ignored, without this number the recorder is of limited use to me and for the purpose it is required for.The manufacturers tell me it is possible to obtain a serial N0. at a cost of £39.00 plus VAT.I looked at your complaints proceedure but as I am registered as a blind person I found this rather difficult. I bought the recorder to help me with voluntary work with the Macular Disease Society. It is unfortunate that you have traders like this but with a growing organisation such as yours it is inevitable and that is wht I have not bothered sending a review.I thank for giving me this opportunity Bill Fearnley (henfearn)Read full review

Borrowed one from work and liked it so much, decided to buy one. Very easy to load programme onto PC, straightforward to use, footpedal is easy to control and to forward/ rewind recording. Seems compatible with majority (?all) olympus ds recorders. If you have recordings to transcribe, this will really make your life much easier and seriously speed up time taken to type up your recordings.
I need a dictaphone for letters etc and having finally pensioned off my last Phillips tape machine when it went phut! I bought a digital setup about a year ago which used the Olympus DS330 as the recorder. All was OK for a while but the DS330 is tiny and the sound quality awful. My secretary started complaining and so I (foolishly) bought a DS30 voice recorder - amazing sound quality but it is NOT a dictaphone. There is no rewind or insert edit facilities. You turn it on and record. The DS2300 is a better more robust version of the DS300. Just perfect for what I need. Dislikes? Olympus could have supplied the thing with a case as they did with the DS300. Where the hell do I buy one? It is not healthy for the machine to jog around my pocket or briefcase with the silver finish getting rubbed like a Genie's lamp all the time! Also the rewind facility is a bit slow but that seems to be a feature of digital. You can't beat the speed of tape hissing backwards over the capstans. Ah! those were the days.Read full review
