5.0 out of 5 stars Olymus VN-5500 (it's only my thoughts), 23 May 2009

By	Mr. D. Copp "NO Tecno-Phobe" (Northants, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Olympus VN-5500 Digital Voice Recorder (Electronics)

Before purchasing I had viewed Various voice recorders from numerous sites including manufacture sites (of course theirs is the best). I was looking for ease of use, battery life, and possible file segmentation.
This little baby has it all !. I am more than pleased with the simplicity of use. Easy record, easy playback, ability to move between 4 folders storing info in various folders, for the various tasks that I do.I have had mine now for a month now, I use it most days and I am on the original batteries, For somebody with heavy or excessive use rechargable batteries would probably be advantageous. I am more than happy to have de-cluttered my work area from post it notes and lost post it notes, if the machine is on my desk I have used it, check it!!. You know the situation you forgot to do something or lost the note. this machine really helps. And it is easy to use, I am NO tecno-phobe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well..., 18 Mar 2009

By	D Deacon "pixist" (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Got this today. Nice and dinky with good sized controls. Has mic and earphone sockets. 512MB is fine. Easy to operate. This is for ideas, a quick way to record song ideas (go into a music shop...), conversations to recall or keep, etc. Great way to add to one's brain memory. Voice activation is good (you can set sensitivity) as are marker points. You can buy add ons if you like. I like and like it.

The manual is in the recorder's flash memory; so plug in the supplied USB cable and it's there - it is not online for some strange reason. As far as I can see, it operates as it says. In playback mode, press and HOLD >>| to FF or |<< to FR; you can see the time elapse +/-. It will stop at any marker points you created. Sound quality is fine. The internal speaker is not the best (it's of necessity tiny) but it is okay and headphones improve the sound a lot as does listening on a PC. One other point is turn the back where the speaker is to face you during payback since the sound quality improves. Obviously, I have not yet used it a lot but was interested to verify the two main complaints aired here and they don't stand up - imv...

5.0 out of 5 stars very good purchase, 8 Aug 2009

By	N. Sadler (London) - See all my reviews

I read some of the reviews before I bought this product and was a bit hesitant because of the some of the negative response but I have to say that this was well worth it. I have conducted face to face and telephone interviews with it and it was not a problem. Picked up sound very well even when I was far apart from the person I was interviewing. It contains an integrated mic and speaker so there is no need to buy any further attachments. Sound it good but what is so great about it is that you can just plug it into your computer and listen to the recording on windows media player, as loud as you want and it is much easier to save the material on your computer. Great improvement from the old days of the tape recorder. Recording is at the touch of a button, erasing is not so easy but I see that as a good thing, I don't want to accidently delete my recordings. It has a hold button so it does not record whilst its in your bag. It may be small but it does the job well. This was the cheapest I found it and it arrived very quickly.
