Great!!:
Easy to use and records every nice and clear. The only problem I had was getting the files from the recorder to the computer. But once you read the little manual everything is fine.
Wish I had this in college:
This is palm sized, has almost no weight, and an excellent recording capacity on 2 AAA batteries. The storage is good for several hours and the sound quality is excellent. The lowest level of sound quality is useless. You can't understand anything and the background noise is horrible. Menu system is confusing and doesn't make sense. There are not that many options to adjust. Overall it does what I need it to do and it is a great device.
Great. Love it.:
So easy to understand, and great quality sound. Only beef is that editing clips on the computer isn't possible with the provided software - you have to use your own.
Olympus VN-4100PC Digital Voice Recorder:
One buys this particular product for TWO reasons: ease of use in acquiring the data/voices and ease of use in transferring files. The latter is woefully UNEXPLAINED my the maker, and hence the low rating. Unless you ARE a techie guru, or enjoy searching for additional downloads to get your files off your pc/mac, stay away from this model. The applicance is easy to use and menus are fine paging through, but it's a painful learning curve getting the encrypted .wav files off your pc/mac to anything else-... more info
