This compact and handy device has the pure quality of the world renowned Sony brand name. It reaches professional standards, very easy to use, simply connects to your computer via a usb port, enabling the mp3 sound file to be transferred. In Windows, simply use "drag & drop" with "My Computer". It has a built in microphone, but for ultimate speech performance, use a separate microphone plugged into the jack socket. It also has a built in speaker for playback, but optionally earphones can be plugged into the jack socket provided for that. A pair of AAA 1.5 batteries (not the rechargeable type) will give over 2 hours of use, before battery performance drops, but adequate warning of battery condition is displayed on the LCD screen.

Pocket sized & easy to use product, exactly what is needed for modern foreign languages oral examinations in schools. Excellent quality recordings and easily transferable as mp3 files for archiving or for sending to examination boards for moderation. At this price, each examiner can have their own recorder. The only negative I can think of is they are a bit thirsty for power, battery replacements are frequent. Otherwise, a great little device.

It has a connection for transferring the .mp3 files directly through the USB port, which speeds up the process of obtaining recorded audio which is essential today. It does not record uncompressed audio, but 192 kbps is enough for 90% of the regular users. Recordings made with a microphone plugged into it can be monitored in the headset, which is very useful to control the audio quality. It is very light and fits in the pocket without causing discomfort. Very good for recording personal notes or journalism work. It worked very well connected to the line out jack of my radio Sony 7600gr. I use it mostly for shortwave stations recording. The speaker isn´t that good (it has a high pitched sound for my taste), but you can use headphones instead.

One person mentioned that this unit doesn't include microphone. Obviously, that's not correct. The big bump on the top of the unit IS the microphone. By the way, have you ever seen a dictaphone/voice recorder sold without it?! That's the point of these devices! They can record voice/music/boise etc. without any additional accessories. About this device, it really worked even in a noisy environment. I used it to record vox pop in front of Waverly Train Station in Edinburgh, hardly recorded any background noise. Was a big help in my college project. Btw, I wrote this review after my item sold, so it's not written to promote my auction.
