Anyone know anything about it and how useful it is for a blind person? Well, it only has one socket for audio input and output. It is difficult if not impossible to use an external microphone and headphones at the same time with the DM-20. That's why I sold mine on Eabay and still use theDM-1. *** Michael Lang *** ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Blind friendly Digital audio recording devices
Kathy! For a couple of years now the Sony MZB-100 has been the portable hi-fidelity recorder of choice for blind people. It's one big drawback is that you can't transfer it's recordings to computer except through recording them again on the computer. The newer models will have this data transfer feature. They were supposed to be out in April but we're still waiting. Sony thinks that playing music is more preferred than recording it so they're going in this direction. The MZB-100 from Chirping Bat is $340.00 and this includes shipping in the United States. Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Bat Arhonious Software !

RE: Blind friendly Digital audio recording devices
Have you considered the Sony MZR B100? It is a minidisk recorder, but from what I understand just about all of its functions have dedicated buttons. Check www.irti.net They are expensive at about $369 I believe.

Well, you have been really helpful with the questions I've asked on this list, so I thought I'd see how you all with your collective wisdom could help me with this one. I'm looking for something, preferrably under $500, that I can use to digitally record things other than music, such as conversations, lectures, outdoor sounds, etc. My husband and I had a mini-disk recorder that I didn't find particularly user friendly for me as a blind user. I've heard mixed reviews about the archose device, and I've also heard that the audio recorder might not be easy to find. Any ideas? Thanks!

Or does it really matter which you use? Must go now, getting ready to go to TN for a week.

Alternatively something like the Olympus DM1, which is basically a Dictaphone, is worth considering, as it can save what it records in MP3 format, and it has an external mic socket. I don't know of any portable CD recorders yet, but am willing to be corrected. HTH Rob --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
