Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like the recorder a lot, but I will not restate what has already been said regarding functionality.However, just make sure you lock the DSS software in a safety deposit box.Olympus tech support is horrible.Ilost the software (yes, my fault) and called tech support to see where Icould download it.They had no idea, and blatantly stated that they didnot have time for a "non-tech" issue.Called another supportnumber, the service rep had no idea why I would need the software to recordand suggested that I use the DSS lite software (which is just for playingthe files, not interfacing).
Long story short, four weeks later, nosoftware. If anyone knows where I can get a copy (I was told it is freelydistributed), please let me know.

Product Description:
The handy Olympus DS-150 digital voice recorder can slip easily into your pocket, purse, or briefcase. It stores up to 160 minutes of dictation and features PC connectivity and IBM ViaVoice voice-recognition software.
To set up the DS-150, you first insert two AAA batteries, then program the date and time to ensure that each message receives the correct date/time stamp when you record a message. Recording messages can be done in one of two modes: standard play (SP) or long play (LP). While LP offers more recording time, SP offers better quality, though both modes produce excellent results at a range of volumes. We also found that the quality was best when the recorder was held about 12 inches from the source.
The DS-150 has two folders that can each hold up to 99 messages. When you no longer need messages, you can erase them one at a time or erase an entire folder. It can also connect to your PC via a serial cable and convert spoken words into digital text using the included IBM ViaVoice software. With this feature, you can turn any dictation into an instant memo.
You can also make hands-free recordings with the DS-150's VCVA (variable-control voice actuator). With the VCVA turned on, the DS-150 begins recording when the microphone detects your voice and stops recording when you stop talking. This means you won't waste memory by recording silence when you pause during dictation, although you may lose brief moments of sound as the recorder starts and stops.
All in all, with its many features, PC connectivity, slim design, and easy-to-read LCD, we found the lightweight Olympus DS-150 digital voice recorder to be quite a nice device. --Megan Dugan
