Amazing tool for implementing a GTD system December 17, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
It's the first recording device I ever owned and I'm extremely happy with this purchase.br /br /WHY BUY SUCH A THING:br / 1. if you have watched THE SIXTH SENSE, you should have remembered that Dr.br / Malcolm Crowe used such a device to record down any thoughts he had after he metbr / his patients. IMHO, since most of my inventive ideas pop into my mind when it's mostbr / inconvenient for me to take notes of such fleeting thoughts, a recorder is bybr / far the best device for taking them down. Even if most cellphones nowadays have somebr / functionality similar to a recorder, their performance and usability are muchbr / worse.br / 2. David Allen's masterpiece about time management, Getting things done, alsobr / recommends various kinds of in-boxes to store all the internal commitments youbr / may have anytime and anywhere, and a recorder is much easier to carry with youbr / than paper and pen and to use in various places out of office.br /br /PROS:br / +++ VCVA: this is a killing feature! it will only be recording when there isbr / sound louder than the threshold you set, so all silences in lectures, meetingsbr / and dictations when you are thinking will not appear in the recordings! REALLYbr / GREAT FEATURE!br / + can be a good toy for children; help them musing over various sounds in Naturebr / ++ amazing battery life: though I didn't use it intensively, that the includedbr / batteries still being indicated as 'FULL' after 4 month of using, is extremelybr / satisfacory.br / ++ easy management of recordings: there is A, B, C, D, 4 folders for storingbr / different kinds of notes, and I found this very useful. I use A as an in-box forbr / my GTD system, B to store memorable quotes and sayings I encountered whenbr / reading books, C and D for storing any thougths coming into my mind when I brainstormbr / about a project.br / + LED indication of recording status: br /br /CONS:br / - no appending/inserting: recordings cannot be edited later. But I think it'sbr / not a big problem since nobody is going to use it record an album.br / - no connection to computers (for models without suffix of PC in their modelbr / names): I don't care about the absence of this feature, since I only use it tobr / temporarily store things that I would never want to preserve for later use. Ifbr / some students want to use this to record lectures, they may want to buy modelsbr / that have a PC/Mac connection interface.br /br /CONCLUSION:br /A must buy for any intellectual worker. I would recommend this tobr /anybody!br / br /
Good Product Design December 17, 2008

This digital voice recorder has a good design and easy to use. I found it very simple and did exactly what I wanted it to do. I record different stuff for my website [...] The only drawback is that the built in speaker is not very loud and and the batteries that came with it were weak. I gave this five stars because if you use earphones you can hear it as loud as you want. It was worth the money I paid.

Back to basics. This Olympus DVR works just fine for recording mock therapy sessions in my psychology class. It's easy to use. The sound reproduction is clear. It has a long battery life.br /br /I'm not a technie or a teenager. So navigating digital equipment isn't organic to me. I need instructions. The more cookbook-like, the better. Before I bought this model, I considered purchasing a similarly priced Sony model because after all I had a number of other Sony products in my audio visual stable. But, eek, reviews of Sony's murky instructions scared me off. The Olympus instructions sheet isn't the best--pictures instead of words. But when I got stuck, I called the Olympus toll-free line, and got through right away to a friendly customer service rep, who easily resolved my issue. br /br /One nit: The "Hold" button is really the on/off switch. I'm not sure why Olympus doesn't call it like it is.br /And a caveat: You can't transfer recordings from this DVR directly into a computer. You'll have a pay more to get this feature.
