4.0 out of 5 stars The best of all worlds!, August 28, 2000

Voice Recorders allow you to capture ideas wherever you are and then do something about them instead of forgetting! I have done this for over 5 years now and this is the best machine I have seen out of many I have owned. It has the best mix of everything I would want.

Practicality: One of the few machines with intuitive controls where your thumb is! Size: Perfect for palm and pocket. Weight: Light! Small, easily available batteries too! Memory: 32 mins is ample for many, many ideas.

Features: All the things you would want and none that you wouldn't. It replaces my need for one pocketable machine and another larger one with more memory and features. Manual: Simple, short, understandable. Functionality: Excellent LCD with comprehensive information.

Cons? I don't like things that beep! It does.

Why not five stars? Hey, things can always get better!

If you are looking for a machine that will allow you to always be on the ball and never let inspiration get away, then this is the machine for you.

Still not convinced? Next time someone (attractive!) offers you their phone number, pull this out instead of the old pen (if you have one!) and paper. It's very cute and you look very savvy!

this is the first micro/digital I've purchased. Level of quality is about low to average, but the price is right. The on/off switch could be easier to engage/disengage and the other buttons require a good amount of pressure too, but depending on where you keep it, that may be a plus if you don't want it to do things accidentally.

Size/weight is perfect, mostly one hand operations. VOX works well, although the on/off resets to the (VOX) off position every time you turn the unit off. Another nice feature is the intro.scan, but you have to turn on the function and it also resets itself (to off) every time you turn the unit off. It will take about 20 minutes to learn all the functions.

4.0 out of 5 stars satisfied, June 10, 2000

It is excellent for memo taking. I bought this to avoid having post-it notes everywhere and to record notes while I'm traveling. Voice records well ifyou speak into the microphone, but it does pick up some background noise. The instructions for the voice activation were incomplete, but technical support was very helpful. It is lightweight and compact, perfect for a pocket. A great buy compared to the price of other digital recorders. Not available in most stores.
