Thanks to all, now I must do more research. I primarily want it for taking notes etc. I would never, (never say never) record music. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Rossi" <d...@andrew.cmu.edu> To: "handyman-blind" <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] digital recorders
I didn't look at the specs for the DM420 and DM520, but assume the announcement I just read, talking about the new DM4 and DM5 is probably the same. Not only does the DM4 and 5 have audible menus, but they do text to speech, voice commands, and can read DAISY texts. Seems like the way to go for me, if I wasn't already using my cell phone for most of this. Although, my cell phone doesn't have the same recording quality as the Olympus devices. But just think of it, off-the-shelf technology with text to speech and DAISY capabilities. Nice job Olympus. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
