Olympus DP-10 A Digital Audio Recorder That Merges Simplicity with Technology

Not sure why someone would develop a recorder that you can't download to a computer or any other device. You can record on this, but then what? I recorded meetings, but have no way to save it to my computer for future reference or backup. You can either A) record and save it on the device forever, or B) hold the device up to something the can convert and save to your computer. Seems like a lot of work, so this product really is more for simple dictation to yourself that will get deleted and NOT for important meetings you will need to save for backup.

I'm a truck driver and have to keep track of how many miles I drive in each state. For such things this is the ultimate little recorder. It has big buttons, is totally intuitive, and records and plays back over the noise of the diesel truck I'm in.

Some great things about it are: it goes to sleep without having to turn it off, and wakes at the press of any button.

It stores recordings according to date, which is perfect for what I use it for.

You can erase entire batches of recordings by date. (Be careful you're on the right date :(

Great Battery life (So far)

What could be better? A back lit display, and it could wake up faster. But neither of these are substantial complaints. I plan on buying these for my friends who drive truck.

I've owned a lot better recorders, and frankly this could be priced lower... and as another review said it is limited in the area of linking to a computer to save the files, you just can't with this. But it's not made for that. If you have a need like mine to record frequent data that you will transfer into notes or logs, this is the bomb.

Enjoy.

This voice recorder is good for kids, or at least for my autistic teenage son. The buttons are large and easy to see, the universal meanings are kept: triangle = play, square = pause/stop and circle = record. The screen is easy to read with large print and there are not a lot of switches. The speaker works well and plays back the recorded noises well. It is not like the modern voice recorders and is likely not suitable for college or high school as there is no USB port or storage media which may be used to transfer your recordings to a computer. But for an autistic teen who records over it every day as part of his routine, this is a good find. It is sturdy and can stand up to anything but my son. My son bit the screen so it took on the whole broken LCD look. Then he tore the screen off. The thing still worked, and still does, but with no display. So on the replacement one I purchased I decided to glue a poly-carbonate sheet over the screen, and it withstood his biting. Now it is a bit uglier, but at least he has a screen on this one. He still uses the old one sometimes without a screen, but prefers the protected new one.

PROS: Easy large controls, clear voice recording, loud speaker, sturdy

CONS: No way to transfer to a computer, larger and heavier than newer models, difficult to find other than refurbished.
