    Long lasting recorder. However it doesn't seem to have a voice activated option. Still a very good recorder with the flexibility to listen via computer.

    I bought this recorder to use at my sorority convention to take notes during two meetings. I was the secretary and wanted to use this devise as a back up to the notes I was taking. I was unable to hear the dialogue from the speakers too much background noise. I tried several ways to listen to the data but nothing worked. I tried to return the devise but was told I was past the 2 weeks allowed. Most stores return items with a receipt. So I was disappointed I spent $57.00 on a devise that is of no use to me.

    I'm taking LPN classes in a high school and I use this to record the teacher. On average there is 20 people in the room. It works very well. I like that I can concentrate the microphone to the teacher/ or person talking and it doesn't pick up all the erroneous background chatter/noises. The olympus I had owned initially couldn't handle the acoustics with the cement walls. This has no problems.

    I am a singer and I needed a voice recorder for my rehearsals, to make sure my voice sounded good. This is a good recorder, easy to use. Just click a button, which is helpful to record and re record as needed.

    This Olympus voice recorder could easily contain a semester's worth of lectures. Perfect for the student who would rather pay attention than focus on writing what was said... missing what is being said.
