Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder Reviews
One thing I would suggest if you use with the phone is the additional earpiece mic Olympus TP 7 it's the best addition. Bought the extra microphone but haven't had to use it the attached mic is great. The product is great and does everything you would want it to with regard to recording with great quality. That said, if you are using for podcasts or want mp3 format you'll need to use something like audacity and lame software to edit from Windows format to mp3.
A great product, much improved over the one I had before in that it has a lot more storage, more folders. My only reservation is that the batteries run down faster.
I was a novice to the digital voice recorder industry when I bought my DS30. For those entering the digital voice recording arena beware, if the product description does not say the voice recorder has "advanced" features like rewind, fast forward, overwrite and/or insert, it doesn't. I thought it would be a good replacement for my Dictaphone, however, nothing in the product description warned me that common features found on tape recorders, like fast forward, rewind and the ability to record over a section are considered "advanced" and "advanced professional" features.
The sound quality is excellent and the price is wright. This voice recorder is great. Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder.
The cost is in excess of $ 100.00, however, the alternative, missing something important at a lecture or in a class, would be far more costly. It is compact, lightweight and easy to use. LOL I may even have a little fun and do some "EVP" work around here. Not having to change a tape is great and the record time limit is so high, I only erase once a week. The quality of the recording is good enough that even when I record an instructor from across the room, I can clearly understand what he or she is saying. Grant, Jason, you guys listening. The Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder is everything I had hoped it would be.
