Small but Able:
I've only used this a few times, after buying it on advice of the Nuance (Dragon Naturally Speaking transcription software) website. They said it greatly improved the sound quality for dictation purposes. And they were RIGHT! Clear as a bell - I even left the recorder ON in my pants pocket (accidentally) and had a relatively clear recording, even though the recorder and mike were INSIDE A CASE! If you use it per their instructions, you'll have crystal clear notes and memos.
Piece of junk!:
You'd think this would be pretty good (because it bares the "Olympus" name), however, it didn't work, right out of the box! Don't waste your money.
this works great!:
my sister uses her olympus audio recorder at school for recording lectures. i bought this for her so she could record the teacher even from far away. the audio quality of her recordings is better with it! now she thanks me for buying this for her.
great addition:
Works very well picks up everything I need it to. No caveats. The audio files are right and tight. No odd swishing or weird "extras" like delays or echos. I start the recorder and leave it on the desk as I lecture and wander around the front of the room.
Sounds great, works well
