Olympus DP - 211 2 GB Flash Voice Recorder - Silver

It's a fine dictation device, easy to operate, plays back loud and clear though it's speaker and has some nice features. Basically, just press the record button to start recording and the stop button to end the recording. Recordings can be stored in one of four folders if you want to group different subjects separately. It's easy to switch between folders and choose the recording you want to play back. You can fast forward or rewind while playing a recording and the display will show you your position within the recording so you can find the part you want. There are loads of other options like splitting large recordings or moving them between folders. I particularly like the alarm playback which, as it's name suggests, sounds an alarm at a time of your choice and then plays back your chosen recording. So there'll be no excuse for missing the 3.30 at Cheltenham!What may not suit everyone is that the display is quite small so it can be difficult to clearly see some of the small symbols. It lacks USB connectivity, so files cannot easily be copied to a computer, and the microphone is not particularly sensitive. When set to it's highest sensitivity it will pick up conversation in a small room but would struggle in a large conference or lecture hall. For a more sensitive device try the Olympus VN-741PC or pro quality Zoom H1.

So small, so inexpensive and so powerful. Did not have something like that since a very long time ago but jeez... that's what I call a great evolution. Sound recorded is very clear, easy to use and the small pouch coming with is very useful to keep it on your pocket without scratching it. Actually doing a photographic essay to document the life of people in my area. After taking the picture of people on the street, I'm asking them to tell me a little about themselves. This little wonder allow me to be quick on the move and easy working while having my camera on the other hand. Really a great buy!

This is a little gem, and is so easy to use. Want to record? Press the record button. Want to listen? Press the play button. Want to erase? Press the erase button and chose the "Yes" option. It can record over 50 hours in SP mode or 300 hours in LP mode - compare that with the old micro cassette tapes capacity of 30 minutes! Each recording made is allocated a file number so that you can search, then play back or erase as you require - again, compare that with the older cassette recorders when you had to search the tape in stages to find the part you were looking for. Sound quality is excellent for a voice recorder. It can voice record at fifteen feet but quality and volume does decrease at that distance. It can also be used to record telephone calls (which it does very well) by using a telephone box splitter and a telephone-to-3.5mm earphone jack.

Good quality product. Easy to set up and use. It is a bit on the small side but good quality playback nonetheless

Great sound, quality, easy to use, long life battery. Just one small glitch - can't rewind just a little bit if you mishear or want to repeat something when listening back - can only skip to beginning of the recording again so for long recordings prob not ideal. Everything else about it is great.

A use full piece of kit. It does everything I expect of it and is easy to use . Speaker quality is not good but passable considering it's only a 25 mm speaker. Sound quality can be enhanced using head phones or, as I do at times play it through a small portable radio with a Line in facility. I like the long battery life.

I was looking for an affordable voice recorder which wasn't too big.I have to say i was positively surprised how good the recording quality was.It is easy to handle and some comments about not enough battery power or not able to transfer files didn't put me off.Firstly for what i needed it (approx 1 hour of recording) the batteries were practically full afterwards.Regarding the transferring of the recordings: It is quite easy to this.You will need an audio cable (stereo or mono both work as good) plugged into the headphone socket of the recorder and the line in or microphone socket of your PC or laptop and a free audio editing/recording program like Audacity or similar, hit record in your program and play on the voice recorder and let it record onto your computer.

bad record

Preciso nei tasti, meccanica buona.Qualità di registrazione buona (registro in mare gli avvenimenti durante le regate) e utile la gestione dei file audio. Devo verificare come resiste ad umidità e schizzi ma intanto va molto bene

Schon lange war ich auf der Suche nach einem einfachen Diktiergerät, das mehrere Ordner hat, schnell reagiert und eine gute Aufnahmequalität hat. Ich stelle immer mehr fest, daß inzwischen bei vielen neuen Geräten die Funktionen sehr langsam geworden sind und die Aufnahmequalität läßt auch zu wünschen übrig. Eigentlich habe ich fast schon aufgegeben, ein passendes gerät zu finden und es bedurfte längerer Recherche. Die Suche hat sich gelohnt! dieses Gerät hat alles, was ich brauche und ich bin happy, daß ich es endlich gefunden habe! Es reagiert schnell sobald es an ist, man muß keine Pause vor der Aufnahme machen und es nimmt sehr gut und klar auf! Die Wiedergabequalität ist gutverständlich und klar. Das Gerät hat den Lautsprecher auf der Vorderseite, so daß man es auf dem Tisch liegen lassen kann, um eventuell Notizen abschreiben zu können. Es ist auch laut bei der Wiedergabe, was für jemand, der schlechter hört auch sehr hilfreich sein kann. 4 Ordner hat es auch! 4 GB Speicher reichen für sehr viele Aufsprachen. Ich danke Herrn Gemrig für seine Rezension, die mich ermutigt hat, dieses Gerät zu kaufen. Auch ich bin blind und freue mich über die Pieptöne, die bei jedem Tastendruck zu hören sind. Ich kann dieses Gerät nur empfehlen. Wer ein einfaches und gutes Gerät sucht, kann bei diesem Gerät nichts falsch machen. Ich habe es mir gleich nochmal bestellt!

Se si cerca un prodotto la cui facilità d'impiego sia talmente elevata da poter essere usata perfino da Novantenni, questo è il registratore vocale che fa per voi! Dico questo perché ho dovuto rispedire diversi registratori indietro dal momento che l'ultranovantenne (nonno) che li richiedeva non riusciva a utilizzarli. Consigliato caldamente anche per il prezzo. Le registrazioni sono di media qualità, il rumore di sottofondo è controllabile e si riescono a capire le parole nella maggior parte delle occasioni.

La grabadora en si funciona bien , graba con bastante buena calidad a traves de su microfono integrado y ademas dispone de la posibilidad de conectar nuestro propio microfono externo . Su funcionamiento es de lo mas sencillo y no cuesta nada hacerse con el . He de decir que la grabadora esta siendo utilizada por mis padres , jubilados ambos y miembros de una pequeña coral local , donde les gusta grabar los ensayos y lecciones , y sin ser muy duchos en nada tecnologico , no me costo mas alla de media hora el enseñarles sus funciones .La calidad de la grabacion es bastante buena , eso si , si no dejamos la grabadora demasiado cerca de la fuente del sonidoDIspone de un altavoz incorporado , con el que podremos escuchar las grabaciones o bien podemos usar la toma de auriculares para ello , donde apreciaremos realmente la calidad de la grabacion .Ahora viene la parte negativa , y es que esta grabadora carece de conexion usb o tarjeta de memoria , a traves de los cuales poder descargar y guardar las grabaciones obtenidas , y esto lo considero una gran contra . La otra contra que le encuentro a esta grabadora es su alimentacion a traves de pilas , siendo de agradecer que viniesen incluidas , hubiera sido mucho mas practico haber dispuesto de una bateria recargable .Otro detallito que me ha gustado es la funda que tambien venia en la caja .Pese a todo lo expuesto en mi reseña , les puede venir bien a gente como a mis padres , para crearse recordatorios en forma de notas de voz y para repasar sus lecciones y canciones ensayadas .Por cierto , el manual icluido en el paquete incluye muchos idiomas , entre ellos el español , cosa que es de agradecer .

Je l'ai acheté en promotion pour 25€. Je suis étudiante et je m'en sers pour enregistrer mes cours en amphithéâtre. Il y a donc souvent du brouhaha, les professeurs parlent souvent sans micro et je suis parfois au fond de l'amphithéâtre. Les enregistrements sont pourtant tout à fait exploitables, on entend très bien et la fonction "Réduction des bruits" permet d'atténuer le brouhaha et les cliquetis des claviers d'ordinateur. Il est en plus très simple d'utilisation.Je recommande ce produit qui, pour son prix, répond tout à fait à mes attentes.
