    Wasn't a fan of this particular voice recorder. Didn't have the quick transfer cables so it didn't last as my voice recorder.

    I owned an earlier version of this recorder that allowed recordings to be downloaded via an editing program. I purchased this one thinking it had the same capability. It did not, so I returned it.

    Got this purchase for a gift for my husband. He wanted it for work as he also uses his phone. It is fair. The voice is alittle muffled and it’s alittle awkward to use. Overall it serves the purpose.

    Confusion

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I work in different lighting conditions, environments and time pressures. I need to know with certainty if I'm recording or not. Using the same button to toggle between "record" and "pause" can be maddening. It's possible to be recording when you think it's paused -- and be paused when you think it's recording. There's no choice but to constantly, visually check. This wasn't necessary with my old recorder. My fingers always knew what was up. Unfortunately many voice recorders have this same flaw. One button shouldn't do two opposite functions. I ended up buying a different brand.

    Don't buy. A microcassette recorder from the 80's would allow you to save your audio recordings. Give Sony their pound of flesh and buy the more expensive one with USB. (That one works well)
