Olympus VN-960PC Digital Voice Recorder

by   hawgheur ,  Dec 9, 2005
Pros: Light weight, small size, easy use, USB BaaAbbbbyyyy!
Cons: Sound quality on the built in speaker is a bit tinny...to be expected but true!
The Bottom Line: Oh, go on...buy one, you KNOW you want to :)
Review: I am an old school kind of guy. Never had any use for these "new fangled" digital voice recorders. The old micro cassette that I carry in my briefcase has served me long and well. That is until I was convinced by a buddy of mine to give the Olympus ...

by   mojabunni ,  May 22, 2006
Pros: long battery life, transfer to computer, clear enough recording quality, price!
Cons: Can't think of anything bad enough about it -- no pause button
The Bottom Line: At this price, it cannot be beat! Perfect for students!
Review: This is GREAT. I really am impressed with this device and happy I bought it over other models. It is really refreshing, after coming across so many crappy items out there, to find something of quality for a good price. Battery life is impressive. ...

Lightweight, works great

by   mattdonegan ,  Oct 25, 2006
Pros: Reliable, portable, maybe even loveable
Cons: Folder system could be complicated for the technically challenged
The Bottom Line: Save yourself some money and buy this one. You're not going to do any better with something more expensive.
Review: As a full-time journalist and admittedly sloppy and slowhand (not to be confused with shorthand) note taker, I have always been in need of a reliable recorder. Like the caveman that I am, I for years used mini-cassettes, but that technology failed me ...

by   emmafwms ,  Jan 20, 2008
Pros: Small, sleek, versatile, reliable, good reception, good playback, computer storage of conversations, excellent buy.
Cons: Difficult for the computer-software challenged, battery-operated only, lacks delete button, computer access needed.
The Bottom Line: This item is given a buy recommendation. Overall it is an excellent choice for the price. There were no limitations that it had that I could not get around.
Review: This digital voice recorder is an excellent tool that I use when I want to ensure that my words versus another had to be confirmed/verified. I used it in a legal matter where it confirmed that the person had lied. He was unaware that he was being taped ...

Great Recorder - Poor Transfer Software

by   mjreiss2 ,  Aug 22, 2006
Pros: Excellent sound quality with a recorder that is easy to use and operate.
Cons: Terrible and slow transfer software. It is difficult to install and operate.
Review: This is an excellent high quality recorder. It has great sound quality and works with ease. The one problem is the software which makes transfer from the recorder to the computer a task. It was slow, very slow. The Olympus WS200S, on the other hand, ...

Olympus vn-960pc.

by   famille_gauthi ,  Jul 15, 2006
Pros: Ease of use,good windows software, good quality nice design. Light, small and inexpensive.
Cons: Not supported under linux kernel. Company should understand linux compatibility = selling more = $$$.
Review: Lost most of rating becausd there is (at the moment of writing) no support for the linux platform (as read at http://www.linux-usb.org/ ). It is a shame. I use the kernel 2.4.31 and I get the message kernel: usb.c: USB device 7 (vend/prod 0x7b4/0x20d) ...

Horrible Software

by   zukinx ,  Jun 3, 2006
Pros: Standard Features
Cons: Drivers/Software
Review: The voice recorder itself is fine, but the software is rather useless. While I could get the software installed on my Windows XP Pro system, when I was reading the manual to learn how to use it, I ran across this little nugget: Note USB support is ...
