Customer Reviews for Olympus Digital Voice Recorder
Review 1 for Olympus Digital Voice Recorder
Wish I had bought a better one
Customer Rating
3.0
What's great about it: Inexpensive, easy to operate
What's not so great: No output capability
It's my own fault for not investigating more, but I assumed all digital recorders can output to a computer or memory card. Now I know why this one was such a good price - it just records. If this was for daily dictation and didn't need to be kept, it would be Ok. But I conducted 3 long interviews with my elderly dad and only after that found I can't export the data. So I can't save it elsewhere and will be scared it will get accidentally erased and be lost forever. It seems to work well, as long as you are recording stuff that will be routinely erased.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

You can only transfer memory from files in the recorder to files WITHIN the recorder. You cannot transfer to the computer. There is no disc with recorder either.. I am returning this to the store tomorrow and going to buy something better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nothing. It's a plain recorder.
What's not so great: No computer hookup as promised.
I was told that this product had everything I needed including the computer connection (USB) and software (Disc) so that I could save hunderds of hours of recording. I got it home and there was no software and no USB connection. I wasted a 7 mile trip for nothing and now must go back and return it. I am considering buying a replacement at another store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Specs on the website are wrong!

What's great about it: Have no clue because the description on the website was wrong and product being returned without use
What's not so great: Product description is wrong
The description of the 7200 is misleading because it DOES NOT include a USB connection or software as stated in the product description.
I'm sure the product itself is good as I know that Olympus makes a good product, but since it is not the product I was hoping for it will be returned without use.
If you intend on using this for lectures or meeting that you would like to keep, I recommend going with a more expensive model that does have a USB so the files can be downloaded to a computer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
