Olympus VN-3200 PC Digital Voice Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, this is the first digital recorder I have used, at least for productive reasons.Currently I am a student and I hate taking notes, so it came to mind that I could record all my classes on a digital recorder and save them to my computer for later reference.My classes range from 1 and a half hours to 3 hours long.

Pros:

-Inexpensive but not cheap
-Non proprietary USB to computer link
-Files are saved as WMA and computer detects device as Mass Storage for easy drag/drop, copy/paste actions
-Comes with USB cable
-Small and portable
-Able to set the Mic sensitivity to conference(High) or dictation(Low)
-Easy to read and understand screen layout
-Good built in menu options (ie: battery saving options, screen contrast, recording quality, volume)
-Good manual
-Built in Mic and Phone jacks
-Indexing
-Voice activation

Cons:

-Does not come with the two AAA batteries required to operate
-Does not come with a carrying case or lanyard
-128mb of memory (non upgradable)

I'd like to point out that this device shares the same manual with the Olympus VN-5200 and that the recording times for the VN-3200 are 8 hours 40 minutes for HQ mode, 17 hours 10 minutes for SP mode and, 54 hours 40 minutes for LP mode.

This device suits my needs but may not have the recording length appropriate for you, but overall 5 stars.
