    I had problems with hearing the voice output. It's very small and not noticeable.

    This device picks up voices well, but does not transfer well to the pc. I purchased Dragon software along with it, based on its ability to transfer from recorder to text using dragon. Still have a lot of typing to do. But its a great recorder, and very clear to play back.

    I would have given it a 5 star but I'm still trying to get used to working it. Not that its difficult but for a person who stays on the go, I sometimes purchase things hoping I can just use it without reading instructions. Other than that it works fine.

    Hard to use. The LCD display is too small. Replaying took so much time. Though the sound quality and noise filter is good I never use is again..

    This is a great compact recorder with a surprisingly sensitive microphone. You need to read the instructions because due to the small size, the features are not fully intuitive by looking at the controls. But they are not difficult once you read them. I like the capability of using regular batteries if the rechargeable one gets depleted. I keep this in my briefcase. The only recommendation I have is that a carrying case to protect it would be a good idea. I found a plastic cover that fits it exactly and is crush proof. I am a little hard on equipment when I travel. :-)

    I've only used it a few weeks, but it has been a trustworthy device. Slightly more than what I needed, but I wasn't sure of that until after I purchased it. Highly recommended for someone who does multiple dictations a day, though!

    It beeps when you start recording which is distracting. I’ve not found a way to turn that off yet. The rest works well enough for an 80 dollar recorder.

    Does everything I expected. And looks like a pen, instead of a recorder. One rechargeable battery, good. Fidelity, good. Everything, good.
