Sony - Digital Voice Recorder

I wanted a model that can connect to the PC so that file can be portable. I will exchange for the higher model.

I purchased the item to record a judgment and needed it to download to my computer. conversation was clear and I was able to download without issues.

This was a good recorder, but, for whatever reason I could not use it with my Mac. I had to return it.

Pocket voice recorders must be convenient and easy to use. Sony has most of that covered in this unit, except for one major issue: If you wait more than ten minutes between recording voice notations, the unit shuts down and takes several seconds to power up when you turn it on. My unit, which I purchased yesterday, powered up immediately when it was brand new. Today it has only 25 short voice notations on it. It now takes 10 SECONDS to power up. I've had earlier Sony VRs and they didn't have this issue. They were just flat out READY to record at all times, unless I specifically powered the unit completely down. But anyone who makes multiple voice notations, like observations or quick notes on the fly, or under busy, hectic conditions is not going to be happy waiting for this unit to power up to leave a quick notation. Yes, you could record lectures or interviews or whatever long-form thing you like, and you'd be happy with this device. My case is entirely different. Almost all of my voice notations took less time to record than the unit now takes to power up. That's neither convenient nor easy to use. I will be returning my unit to Best Buy.

This was a gift for my Father who is 91-it's simplicity in use was key in my purchase ! The one touch decent size buttons make it relatively easy for him to figure out exactly what he needed to input or record info to remind him where he put things. Sony still makes a quality product.

This is perfect for my nursing classes. Records every lecture perfectly and is a perfect tool. It also was not as expensive as the other recorders and works just as well! I wouldn't trade this recorder for any other! Great for class or for anything you need to record.

Overall good product It's kind of difficult to turn on and off. Mic is excellent.

Needed a recorder just to record notes after classes. Needed some thing small and affordable. Found it with this recorder. Was easy to use and I wanted a recorder that didn't need to be recharged by plugging it in. Wanted one that used a battery. Very happy with my purchase.
