Sony ICDP620 Digital Voice Recorder PC Compatible via USB Reviews
Luckily, I have two computers, one of which has a 32 bit Vista version. This of course disables a very important feature of the recorder. I think the battery runs out after about 7-10 hours of recording. If not, maybe wait until the software is compatible with 64 bit version.
On the bright side, the recorder and the software work very well, and you will get good recordings that are easy to listen to. The software really makes it the whole process much, much easier. This is a problem across the board with voice recorders, a software problem which happens with $300 recorders just like $50 ones, and with other brands as well.
If you have 32 bit Vista, I would recommend getting this device. Another big issue is the battery life - it is very limited, so hopefully you can afford a lot of batteries. So I am using the older computer for right now to download the files. I bought this voice recorder, but nowhere did it specify that the software does not work with Windows Vista 64 bit.
The recorder easily fits in my pocket, and is very easy to use. I definitely recommend this recorder, although I wish it was a color other than silver.
I noticed the issue when trying to upload for the first time and both the software and drivers are not compatible. The only indication that it doesn't work with 64-bit versions is listed in the manual after a tiny asterisk. Please note, while the recorder appears to work wonderfully by itself, it is not compatible with the 64 bit version of Windows Vista so you are not able to load the files onto your computer at all. There is no available driver from Sony. Great product, but this compatibility flaw should be listed on the box (and it is not).
Does what it's intended to do. The "Hold" switch is the ON/OFF for this recorder. This is a good little recorder for the price.
I often think about things while I'm driving, and would often forget them by the time I get to my destination. The sound quality is great, both in "high" and "low" sensitivity mode. Using the recorder, I simply dictate reminders or ideas to myself and jot them down later. I'm very pleased with it and find it pretty easy to use. 99 hours of recording time is amazing. This is the first device of this type I've owned, and I've had it for about a month now. The size is perfect and I can easily carry it in my shirt pocket, or toss it in my briefcase. And the software allows you to transfer messages to your computer, which then allows you to email them to people.
