Using the Sony requires a three step process: 1) push button 2)wait, 3)speak. When using the Olympus to dictate it is a simple two step process: 1)push button, 2)speak. However, it has a major flaw that in my view makes it inadequate for anything more than casual dictation of relatively short memos or documents. It also does a pretty good job of overwriting prior dictation in order to edit it. The Sony has large buttons and is easy to use in the sense that it's easy to press the correct button to dictate, stop or listen to what was previously recorded. I do quite a lot of dictation, including both lengthy and brief documents. I have an Olympus DS 330, and I bought the Sony as a backup when I thought the Olympus needed repair (it turned out to only need reformatting). There is a string lanyard thread-through point in the lower right top edge of the device, and I am ordering a string lanyard connector for use with a neck lanyard for it. One thing to be aware of: the recorder is so small that it might be easy to lose. Back in the day, you had to spend several hundred dollars for a recording/transcription device like this, and it chewed through tape cassettes. The playback volume range seems acceptable even for use outdoors, and I haven't yet tried recording in a windy environment.Īll in all, it's slick-much better than I anticipated.
An editing feature lets you boost the sound for otherwise unintelligible portions of your messages (I didn't try this). The recorder has four different recording quality levels and two levels of mike sensitivity. You can also convert them from native format to MP3. Once the messages are on your PC, you can re-name them (just like any other files), delete them, or split them up.

I have run mine on an XP-Pro machine, and checked to see that there was a Sony update for Vista 64-bit compatibility, which downloaded and installed just fine.

The included software lets you upload the contents of your recorder to your PC and play the messages from the recorder or the PC. Messages can be erased one at a time or folder-by-folder. More complicated features allow you to add-on to a previously recorded message (one which has been "Stopped"), split a message into two separate messages, record with voice-activation, etc., etc. Playback is also simple, using the large "Enter" (Play/Stop) button. You can pause and continue a message just using this button. Once you have selected a folder, creating a message is accomplished just by hitting the large red "Rec/Pause" button. Each folder can hold up to 99 messages, depending on your chosen recording quality level. You can select one of the five message "folders" (A-E) by going through a menuing process.
A slide switch on the upper left side of the recorder labeled "Hold" turns it on and off.

The manual is extensive, although the odd labeling of the recorder's keys makes it a little hard to follow. I've included an uploaded photo of the recorder hand-held.
The recorder weighs in at 3 oz., with batteries installed. First, let's correct the Amazon specs on the size and wt.
