Re: Simple Voice Recorder Suggestion
Hi Samuel, Olympus change their models as often as they change their financial advisers. The DM range appear to offer the speech system. I can make further enquiries if you would like. I have 2 DM units here, cost about 150 when new. But should be able to locate one easily enough if the asking price is a little high at retail, then second hand would suffice. The RNIB carry the Olympus range, well some of them, the cheaper items do not have the speech offering, and you need to run olympus software. With the DM range, they connect just as an external drive, with an assigned drive letter.

Hello Joe, Please do, thank you. My friend is not familiar with different models, and she will have someone sighted to do the computer transfer. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Joe Paton Sent: 20 October 2014 09:37 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Simple Voice Recorder Suggestion Hi Samuel, Olympus change their models as often as they change their financial advisers.

Re: Simple Voice Recorder Suggestion
Hi, the dm620 will be a good one, she can ignore any settings she don't no, as the defaults is quite good for a non technical person. Just be sure to back up the speech files in case the recorder need to be formatted in the future. That being said, if she don't no a pc well enough to transfer files, maybe she still need something even more simple, such as the older recorders with only a rewind, forward, and play/stop. But then not all of those got USB? If she don't no windows well, I suggest dolphin guide from dolphin, wich provide a simplified interface for many computer tasks, including file transfers. The Olympus models should be compatible with guide as wel. Download a demo for testing if you wish, let me no if you need a link.
