Olympus recorders

[Kiran Kaja]

Hi all,

I now have an Olympus digital recorder with 128mb memory. I don't know the 
exact model. The person who lent it to me could not find the CD containing 
the software. When I connect it to my laptop, it shows up as another drive. 
But I would need to download the software which can convert/play DSS files. 
I can look at the Olympus site and see if they provide the software online. 
But I was wondering if there are any other programs which can play these 
files and convert them to wave or mp3.

Thanks,

Olympus recorders

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

These Olympus recorders look very nice however I have one question which I've 
not seen answered yet and I'm sure someone's tackled it here, can you use an 
Olympus recorder to record from the line-out of say a tuner or something like 
that?

The DM520 units are quite cheap and - assuming I can do line in recordings - 
I'd be tempted to buy one.

Are you sure you need the software.  Some of those recorders can 
create Windows Media files.  Mine, which is the WS200ST or something 
like that didn't even come with a CD I think because it is recognized 
as a drive and can create wma files.

Re: Olympus recorders

[Kiran Kaja]

Hello Tim,

After reading the manual downloaded from the Olympus website, I realized 
that it can record to WMA. Although this is only done when the recording 
quality is set to HQ, I guess it will serve my purpose for the time being. A 
15 minute recording takes up 3.5 mb which is quite reasonable for the sound 
quality it offers.

For anyone interested, WavePad can open DSS files and let's you save them to 
wave or mp3 or a number of other formats. I believe the site to download it 
is www.wavepad.com. The basic version is free but add supported. I suppose 
there is a pro version without the adds.

Kiran Kaja

new Olympus recorders

[Bobcat]

I recently heard about new digital recorders from Olympus.  The real great 
things about them are:  First; they are designed with voice feedback for the 
blind.  Next, they have stereo recording.  And, they are Audible compatible.

Shall I send the press release I read on another list?

I haven't seen any reviews from Neil on Olympus recorders? I've seen plenty of

in the blind cool tech archives again though just in case I've missed something.

RE: Olympus recorders

[Damon Rose]

Seemingly Olympus have named their machines differently for different
markets. So the 4 is the 5 in the UK. Or is it the other way round.
Anyway, armed with that knowledge, you may be able to dig further ... If
you didn't already know that is.

Yep thanks, it was done in May this year, I listened to it but again perhaps 
I'm missing something because I didn't hear Neil mention anything about Line-i, 
damn crickets he was listening to, my hearing instruments don't get along with 
their sound .

Though I have not yet done it myself, I'm advised that if you bring the
manual record volume down to its lowest setting then this should work.

Re: Olympus recorders

[Howard Traxler]

Supposedly, there is a way to turn off the AVC and manuallly control the 
input level.  In that case it should work fine.  So far, I haven't figured 
out how.  I did, however, record from the speaker output of my Drake R-4C 
ham reeceiver and it wasn't bad.  AVC was turned on and the input 
sensitivity was as low as it would go.  There was some "pumping" on the 
recording, but not bad.

Howard;

The 520 has manual volume which you can choose in I think the record
settings.  My old DS50 just had three automatic choices, however.

Re: Olympus recorders

[tim cumings]

Dane why would you buy the olympus when you already have the zoom h-1 which I 
think 
has better-sounding internal microphones than the 520. You can turn down the 
record volume on the

Re: Olympus recorders

[Dane Trethowan]

Probably for organisational purposes rather than any other reason, be assured! 
I'm only thinking along the lines of Olympus because of the price one can get 
them for now, about the same price as a Zoom H1.

I recently heard about new digital recorders from Olympus.  The real great
things about them are:  First; they are designed with voice feedback for the
blind.  Next, they have stereo recording.  And, they are Audible compatible.

Shall I send the press release I read on another list?

Yes yes!  I'm tempted to buy a 311, however, if I can save me some dough bucks, 
and get the same features, or close to, or even better, then I'm def 
interested.  Getting tired of being only able to work half of a machine that I 
bought.  Thinking maybe I should be charged half price for my mp3 player, since 
it takes sight to get to record and other stuff.  But, more and more mp3 
player/recorders are like that now, although, some can be better accessed than 
others.

You'll be impressed, and Milestone certainly isn't worth another $150 more than 
these new recorders.  They are already for sale several places on the internet, 
including Amazon.  Amazon also has a fuller spec sheet on the DS-50 than the

Re: new Olympus recorders

I searched for the ds-50 on Amazon, and Olympus was not listed as a brand name. 
 Still looking for that particular model, assuming it is available there?  What 
else would it be listed under since there are several "digital voice recorders" 
listed under Olympus with no model number listed.

Re: new Olympus recorders

[Keith Gillard]

Very interesting and well thought out device.  I'd like to know how loud and 
clear the integrated speaker is.  Like every new device, it seems that you 
can't get every thing you want.  It is a shame that this device does not 
have an SD card slot.  These days, 1 GB of memory is minuscule and paying 
and extra $50 for each memory upgrade from 256 to 1 Gb is almost laughable.

Sure the Milestone 311 is pricy but it does have a card slot, great clear 
and loud sound as well as a long life rechargeable battery.

Still, I can't wait to road test this new device.

Cheers...Keith

more than these new recorders.  They are already for sale several places

Re: new Olympus recorders

[Joy Tilton]

Well, I could not find the olympus recorders in question at Amazon, but, I came 
across, 
http://www.startstop.com whilst googling,
which sells proffessional equipment, such as dictation equipment and such.  One 
can pre-order device from there, since they're not quite out yet.  Supposedly 
one can get a "custom quoted price" from this web site.  However, I had to send 
an e-mail asking about that when I clicked on the custom quoted price link.  I 
was only asking about the ds-50, since that's the one with the most bang for me 
buck.

Very interesting and well thought out device.  I'd like to know how loud
and

Re: new Olympus recorders

I searched on Google for Olympus ds-50 and one of the sites listed was Amazon.  
I took the link and then ended up with a list of brands of digital recorders 
that they carried in the camera department.  Then I went to the listing of 
Olympus recorders and there was a link there for the Olympus ds-50.  I took 
that link and got the whole description, and could have ordered it right on 
that page if I had wanted to buy it then.

This sounds like great news!  Now if we could only find something that will 
help us set up our DVD's or DVD recorders so we can play and record any TV

That's easy. If you normally record, you overwrite. If you want to
insert, press the folder button, while a message is playing. This
pauses the message and if you now press record, you insert at the
pause position. If you want to append, you first go to the end of the
message by pressing the forward button two times while in stop mode.
You can then append by pressing the record button.

Walt, you wrote:

It's the size of most other digital recorders. You could try to locate
the 3300 manual on the net, there you'd find the exact size.

> How many batteries, and what type does it require?

2 AAAs.

> How many folders does it have, and how many messages per folder?

The number of folders is settable by the dealer. Minimum is 1, maximum
is 7. You can ask your dealer to set your desired number before you
buy the recorder. If I remember correctly, one can record up to 199
messages per folder.

> How many speeds, and how much capacity at highest quality speed?

Speeds? Do you mean recording qualities? two. How many hours one
can record in the highest quality depends on the capacity of the used
XD Picture card. One minute of audio in the highest quality requires
approximately 100 KByte, so you'd need six megabytes for one hour of
audio.

> To what extent are its menus accessible?

They don't talk as they do on the DS-50, but they're totally
accessible via the supplied DSS Player pro software on the PC.

The Olympus DS-3300 has the index feature, known from other Olympus
recorders. Index marks are settable and eraseable while and after
recording messages.

The machine records in the DSS format, which doesn't sound as good as
WMA. This machine was built, so that one can edit messages as well as
possible. Quite a few parameters are settable by the dealer, number of
folders, amount of beep tones, function of the programmable button etc.
If you buy the 3300, you should find a dealer, who knows about these
settings and can configure the recorder, so that a blind person can
use it as well as possible.

Re: Olympus recorders and audio quality

[jeremy]

Awesome, thank you for giving me a better idea on what to look for. I 
was able to locate this composite option in both user manuals, the 
dm-620 and the ls-14.
I also contacted Olympus's tech support this morning and was given a 
pretty decent comparison between these two devices, along with the ls-100.
This ended up with me asking him a question, which he was unable to 
really answer, so perhaps it's more appropriate to ask it here. He told 
me that some of the options that the recorder supports, work better in 
conjunction with the accompanying software, Sonority, so what types of 
accessibility issues, if any would I have using it with NVDA?
Staying within my price range of about 200 bucks, I'm probably going to 
begin focusing on either the 620 or the ls-14 which brings me to a small 
question. What, if any differences in quality can I expect from the 
microphones on either of these devices.
I know that the dm-620 has one extra file format it supports, Windows 
Media Audio, which perhaps is not so important for me, so what can I 
expect with using both these devices in recording either in .WAV or 
.MP3, the two formats I'm more familiar with.
I've unfortunately not yet had any luck in locating a review of the 620, 
to get a better idea of the microphones quality, I have listened to the 
one recorded by Neal on the ls-14 though.
The one thing I do like about the ls-14 is the fact that the battery 
life is greatly increased, all be the device being a tad bit larger, but 
is the larger battery capacity plus possible higher quality in audio and 
ability to hold slightly larger SD cards worth the extra cost?
Any experiences with either of these devices or even a possible small 
recording of the dm-620s capabilities would be totally awesome.

Thank you again.
Blessings.

Subject: Olympus and zoom types of recorders and there features for
accessibility

Hello all,
Here recently, I started looking into a decent handheld recorder,
specifically one with the ability to record in fairly high quality stereo
and also be used as an external microphone for a computer.
While searching around for documentation on the different models, apparently
quite lacking with blindcooltech no longer working, I came across this list
and was hoping to refresh the interest in this topic and hopefully get some
advice.
So far, from what I've been able to dig up, it's a choice between, the
dm-520 or 620, the ls models, 5, 10, 14 and 100 and of course, the H1 from
zoom.
My main issues with locating documentation, specifically on the dm-620 is
the fact that several pages on this device state that it does not have the
accessible menus, comparing it to the dm-670, apparently a device specific
to European markets.
This however does not seem to be the case, as other sources state that it
comes with support for use by the visually impaired.
I've been able to locate a few of the podcasts, recorded by Neal Eurs and am
in the process of searching for any others I can find, however, one thing I
still can't find any information on is the ability to use these devices as
an external stereo mic for a computer, outside of recording. I'm honestly
not sure if this is just a lack of me not knowing the term used to describe
this, but even in the manuals for the olympus devices I've found, I can't
find any mention of this. I do know that the zoom has this ability and also
that several devices from olympus do as well, but I'm just looking for a
more complete list of accurate manuals/documentation.
I'm even considering contacting Olympus, here in the US to ask also, but I
wanted to find a list to hopefully ask other folks who've used these devices
first.
Lastly, I'm looking to spend at most around 200 dollars, hopefully a little
cheaper so any ideas that anyone can give that may fit the bill would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Blessings.

Fwd: New Information on Olympus Recorders

[Steve Pattison]

 From:adam morris li...@damorris.com
 To:  vi...@freelists.org

Hi Folks,

I've just been informed by my contact at Olympus, the head of Olympus' 
audio division, Amy Leslie, that the release of the DM-4 is being held 
back to the last week in June, or the first week in July.

It seems that Amy has just returned from Japan, where she instructed that 
the new recorders firmware be updated to include the ability to play NLS, 
RNIB and CNIB digital downloads and audio.

As it is, if they are not able to complete the firmware by then, they will 
release the recorder without that ability, and make the firmware available 
at a later date.  Similar to what the Victor Stream did when it was first 
released.

Just thought everyone would like to know that.

Victor

Olympus Recorders, Especially the DM-4

[Max G. Swanson]

Afraid I'd never attempt using the Olympus multitrack machine, as I've
almost given up on the DM-4.  Even after running the on-board PDF manual
thru Kurzweil, it's been rough going.

I'd appreciate any hints on or off-list.  There could be a bargain waiting
for anyone who has worked around the unit's access issues; I have a
feeling that even a little vision would make it much friendlier.  Thanx
and here's to 2013!

Any Olympus recorders that can rewind?

[Philip Hall]

Hi.
I have been reading all the posts about the different Olympus devices.
I am an instructor, and some of my visually impaired students want a
recorder that will allow them to record my lectures, but when playing it
back, be able to rewind just like a cassette recorder to listen to some
great words of wiz dumb that I may have inadvertently  said without my
notice.
I have played with some of the basic Olympus digital recorders that the
local division of blind services gives to the students, none of which can't
rewind. 
Which of the Olympus recorders can rewind or jump back in a recording like a
cassette?
Do any of them allow setting of bookmarks?

Many thanks.

Phil

Voice Guidance Languages On Olympus Recorders

[Georges Zaynoun]

Hi.

On an Olympus LS-14 bought from Japan there are English & Japanese with 
voice guidance for each language so when display language is changed 
voice guidance language changes as well.  On the other hand on a dm-901 
purchased in Sweden although there are many languages on the screen 
voice guidance came only in English.  I updated the firmware on dm-901 
to the latest and when installed Swedish voice guidance file English 
disappeared and was replaced, vice versa happened when I installed the 
English voice guidance file.


My question is how to to make multiple voice guidance language files 
active on demand like in the situation of LS-14 mentioned above and not 
replace each other?


My other question is I want to replace Japanese on LS-14 with Swedish 
both on the display as well as voice guidance.  How to accomplish that?


When I searched the downloads of LS-14 I only found the manual for 
ls-12/14, no firmware nor voice guidance files, regards.

I got an LS-7 from the state, and it can rewind and fast forward just like a

On the Olympus recorders I hav eyou set the "jump back" and "mump forward"
speed from a few seconds to minutes. You can't rewind like a cassette; each
time you press the back or forward keys the recording jumps by the increment
you've set. 

I don't think you can set bookmarks with the Olyumpus recorders.

They all I should think can. Just hold down the arrow keys while playing a

Re: Any Olympus recorders that can rewind?

[ken reed]

You can set a bookmark with olympus recorders.

If you press the scene buttonru\\during playback or record you set a 
bookmark.


This is used for deviding a file.
I don't know how you can extrace the devided portion.
As far as I know you can'tcan't insert in the midle of a file.

Nor can you append to a file.
I have a 520 and an ls7
The 520 is more immediat than the ls7 , because the 7  turns the  moniter on 
first and this causes you to wate before recording starding starts.

Hi.

On an Olympus LS-14 bought from Japan there are English & Japanese with
voice guidance for each language so when display language is changed voice
guidance language changes as well.  On the other hand on a dm-901 purchased
in Sweden although there are many languages on the screen voice guidance
came only in English.  I updated the firmware on dm-901 to the latest and
when installed Swedish voice guidance file English disappeared and was
replaced, vice versa happened when I installed the English voice guidance
file.

My question is how to to make multiple voice guidance language files active
on demand like in the situation of LS-14 mentioned above and not replace
each other?

My other question is I want to replace Japanese on LS-14 with Swedish both
on the display as well as voice guidance.  How to accomplish that?

When I searched the downloads of LS-14 I only found the manual for ls-12/14,
no firmware nor voice guidance files, regards.

Hi.
The thing is that the newer models like ls14 and dm901 don't allow
uploading voice files as the older models. When ever are more voice
file updates you will then have to download a seprit voice updater
program wich will bring the files up to date, after wich you can
choose another language if supported. Keep in mind that not all
display languages are supported by speech. The manual and
spesifications are very clear about that.

The state of Olympus recorders these days

[Dane Trethowan]

So I have the DM4 and Dm7, soon to be getting the LS14 and Ls100, I use all for 
different recording applications as some models have strengths whilst others 
have weaknesses.
So I’ve named the four models I’ll be using and I’m wondering are their any 
other current Olympus models I should be looking at for any particular reasons?
The portable audio and video recorder market out there seems to be absolutely 
saturated now with all the big names, Marantz, Taskam, Foxtex and Boss just to 
name a few, has anyone had any hands on experience with any other portable 
audio recorders.
And yep, I have the Zoom H6, a wonderful machine indeed.

Olympus Recorders, Never Enough Time To Explore Them

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!


I have an Olympus DM4 and DM7.


I've written to the list regarding these machines at different times but 
up until now I've just not had the time to play so this morning when I 
had some time to myself and saw the Olympus DM7 in the drawer doing 
nothing I decided it was certainly time to explore the features and 
functions the DM7 had to offer.



I'm a little disappointed that the DM& doesn't seem to be as good a 
build as the DM4 was and its a little bigger but still nice enough to 
hold in the hand and certainly small enough to fit into the shirt pocket.



At first glance the multitude of buttons on this recorder were 
off-putting but patience is a virtue and the learning curb wasn't steap 
so getting used to these extra buttons on the DM7 was a piece of cake.



Some annoyances are there in the feature set, it seems you cannot set 
manual recording levels with the DM7, the DM7 doesn't have an atenuator 
for the microphones etc so - to my way of thinking - the DM& is really a 
recorder meant in the main for dictation purposes? Perhaps someone can 
straighten me out on those points.



There can be no denying however the DM7's outstanding attributes as a 
player, the sound is better than that of the DM4 owing to the bigger 
speaker I presume.



The battery holds it charge in the DM7 and doesn't go flat when left as 
it does with the DM4, that alone was a plain pain in the but as I had to 
keep resetting the DM4's time every time a battery went flat or when I 
changed a battery.



Anyway I'm still to decide which I'll use as my main recorder, the DM4 
or the DM7.

Hi,
wow I thought the ls-14 had been discontinued and replaced by the ls-pII 
which I didn't find to be as good in quality as the 14 to my ears though it 
does finally boast a talking clock setting menu yay for that I guess. As 
always we'll enjoy reading of your experiences therein.

Okay, I didn’t know that model had been discontinued, I was able to get one so 
may as well use it .
I’ll write more on the Zoom H6 shortly though other list members have pretty 
much covered that recorder so there’s probably little point me saying all that 
much more .

You’re right there, I think the one I just don’t like at all is the DM7, its a 
beast to get around at times and feels so cheaply made and yet it does have 
some very practical features if you dig hard enough to find them.

Hi!
How are the marantz recorders in an accessible point of view?
Are they smaller than the zoom h6 which imho is to big.
I want a smaller field recorder but maybe this will reduce the quality of the

Re: The state of Olympus recorders these days

I’ve not been able to see a Marantz recorder as yet so can’t comment but as I 
said earlier, there are now more portable recorders than you can poke a stick 
at and I’m most interested - not only in the Marantz - but the offerings from 
Taskam, hard to imagine a Taskam Porter Studio for $400 now, I remember those 
brutes used to be in the thousands.

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days

[Hamit Campos]

Yes you should listen to them first. I've heard the Marantz PMD671 which 
doesn't ixist no more apparently but I liked it kinda. I will note this and 
this is also a problem with Zoom for me too. It was too hissy. I don't want nor 
like hiss. It's to reminiscent of Casset tapes. That's why I kinda think on it 
when it comes to the H6. Epic that you could make a 5.1 recording out of it, 
but too hissy. So see if you can find examples of the new Marantz recorders and 
see for your self.

Hi!
How are the marantz recorders in an accessible point of view?
Are they smaller than the zoom h6 which imho is to big.
I want a smaller field recorder but maybe this will reduce the quality of the 
recording.

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days

[Hamit Campos]

Maybe not on a technical aspect, but you could give us your twist on it. What 
you make of the H6. It sounds cool to me but still too hissy. I wander about 
Zoom's new F8 $800 recorder. That one's epic. You can hook 8 mikes in it but 
again I think hard on it cause Zoom always hisses like tape. So to me tape is 
history and thus so should be that hiss. Aiincient history it should be.

I’ll write more on the Zoom H6 shortly though other list members have pretty

RE: The state of Olympus recorders these days

[Hamit Campos]

Yes I too have a 14. It's pretty good. As for the P 2 well it's little. It's a 
pocket thing like a DM or the LS 7 was. So it's not gonna have the big fat 
studio sound. I wanted the 100 and do wana work towards getting 1 some day but 
for now it's too much for the money I have. But I would have loved a 100. But 
yes for what it's worth the 14 is very good.

Ah so I forgot this the P2 does have blue tooth. So you can play from blue 
tooth stuff on it. That's why I thought of it for a few seconds. Oh I said, I 
could use my Bose sound link mini with this. But when it was compaired to the 
LS7 I gave it up and got the 14. Though my heart really wanted the 100.

Olympus recorders....do they all have the speach with menu?

I was with a friend, he wanted to buy an Olympus digitial recorder. We
read the packages but we could not find where it says that the unit came
with built in speach reader menu feature. My O 4 has it, so I am asking
if and which of the O's have this feature?
Thank You and have a good day!

Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I own an Olympus DM-4 and will be getting a DM-7 shortly, are their any 
major differences I should look out for?


I also own a Zoom H1 recorder and prefer to use it for a lot of jobs 
given that the H1 has higher sampling rates, I also think the 
microphones are better but nevertheless, the DM-4 does an excellent job 
for a recorder of its size.

Yeah it talks. They just have to fix the fact that it doesn't say the folder
names, which they are, and they also have to fix the fact that all the multi
track stuff doesn't talk. I don't know if they are going to fix that. In the

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Aidan]

Dm4 uses Samantha, while dm7 uses sarina. Dm4 have assignable function
keys, while the dm7 keys are not assignable. As a result, dm4 will
read time and date and battery if assigned to function keys, but dm7
requires to be on the home screen. Dm4 have just a vertical menu with
options, while dm7 have first off a home screen when you power on.
Then once you launch menus on dm7 you will find you have to navigate
horizontally and vertically to rich all the menus. With dm4 you can
choose between wather you want to make pc or a c adapter the default
connection, but as with dm7 they removed that, you only select the
storage or composit device and each time upon connection you have to
choose between a c or pc connection.
Dm4 have a b repeat playback, while dm7 took it furder with a b c
repeat playback.
Dm7 don't have VCVA recording like dm4. In adition to the noise
playback and voice filter on dm4, the dm7 add voice detection settings
where portions of a file could be extract and dead air can be left out
to fasten playback of sertin files. And also transcription moad. But
they removed the voice filter playback. The dm4 have random playback
but dm7 don't have random or shuffle play, even though the spex says
it does. But both stil have repeat of folder or file. Dm4 you have to
turn on a setting accessibility mode or something to that nature, to
allow speaking of file names with tts. But with dm7 know longer
possible or needed. It will speak the file names naturally without any
ajustments. Of corse, all new models now know longer stores voice
files on the internal memory, but now build in. Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask I got dm7  so I will help where I can. Of corse don't

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Dane Trethowan]

Thanks for that very informative post, I'll have the DM-7 some time next 
week and I'm looking forwardg to seeing the differences you've noted, I 
can see advantages and disadvantages in both systems and I wonder which 
I'll use the most.


Doesn't the DM-7 have some sort of Wi-Fi facility or am I thinking of a 
different model.


By the sounds of it the Daisy reader has been dumped in the DM-7, is 
this correct?


I was able to use the voice of the DM-4 to set the time and date when it 
had been stated in various access publications that this couldn't be 
done so perhaps there have been a few firmware updates between 2011 and 
the present day.


I was able - well sort of - to use the Audio Diary of the DM-4, I 
couldn't schedule a memo to an accurate time of day but I could schedule 
a memo to a day so this meant all I had to do was to browse to the day I 
wanted to see my appointments for and just listen to each in tern, the 
DM-4 would tell me how many appointments I had scheduled as I moved 
between days.

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Aidan]

Yes, there were a few updates to dm4 to make more things speak. The
dm7 have daisy functions, but I think that needs fixing as I cannot
manage to read a book. Hopefully a update is coming. It can also
import daisy from cd, but again I could not manage to perform that
successfully. The diary is quite similar. I cannot compare to dm4
exactly, as I don't have one, but I know that on dm7 you first enter
the diary, then you go to the day you want with cursor keys and press

in the menu you will be able to set an alarm for the memo on the day
you choose when you started off. And to set alarm and recording timer
is very accessible. Note however that unlike the older models, there

the only alarm you can set are those wich are assigned to a voice

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

Yes dm7 have wifi. But you need to install the app on IPhone for that
to work. I got the default password if you need it later. It only make
a hotspot available, know internet connection.

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Dane Trethowan]

I'll look at those functions myself, see if I can work around them.

It seems that Olympus have cut down on the internal memory on the DM-7, 
am I correct in assuming that the DM-7 only has 4GB of internal memory? 
The DM-4 has 8GB, not a critical point given that SD cards are cheaper 
than potato chips these days.

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

[Dane Trethowan]

I suppose an Internet connection isn't really necessary from the point 
of view of the Olympus recorder, who knows what - if any - plans Olympus 
have for the recorder in the future?


Olympus have a dictation App which is supposed to take the place of one 
of their professional dictation recorders on an iPhone, has anyone tried 
this? I've seen reference to it on the Olympus America web site.

job for a recorder of its size.

Yes, its just ment to transfer files to and from the recorder. Usually
Olympus don't do drastic updates. So they will probably make
improvements in another model. I just wunder why they done the dm7 for
Europe, but for the USA there were know similar model. At least in the
case of the dm4 you had the dm5 for Europe and UK. I don't know why
they cut down on internal memory. But I did also note that if you
choose to turn off the mike monitor when recording, then it perform or
behave better then other models when that is off.

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7

   Hi,  I can't find a dm7 at the olympus site.
What you can find is a dm901.
It seems to have the same specs and it records in stereo.
It was pulling hens teeth to find that.

The wi fi thing runs on a Iphone and allows you to trigger your recorder 
remotly.

also you can send pictures to the recorder from your Iphone.

Also there is software called controller  that ltes you edit files.
I don't know if any of this software is accessable or not.

Yes, there were a few updates to dm4 to make more things speak. The
dm7 have daisy functions, but I think that needs fixing as I cannot 
manage

to read a book. Hopefully a update is coming. It can also import daisy
from cd, but again I could not manage to perform that successfully. The
diary is quite similar. I cannot compare to dm4 exactly, as I don't have
one, but I know that on dm7 you first enter the diary, then you go to the
day you want with cursor keys and press enter on that. Then you record 
the

memo up to one minit I think. Then in the menu you will be able to set an
alarm for the memo on the day you choose when you started off. And to set

The dm7 are on the Europe and uk and other sites. Not on the American
site. There are stil differences between 901 and dm7. Such as tts for
dm7 vursus human femail speech on the 901. The 901 have know text file
or daisy support, and not as accessible as dm7. The skedular or diary
is not easy to use there as on dm7.
