This is my first digital recorder which I purchased for recording class lectures. This device is very simple to use and includes the software and connectors required to transfer the recordings onto your computer. My only gripe about this product is that it only has 4 hours of recording time on the low quality setting. Recording quality is satisfactory however I wouldn't recommend it for lecture recordings if the professor is not wearing a microphone unless you sit in the front of the class. Overall I am satisfied with this product.

I bought this recorder a couple of months ago, hoping to record some classes and lectures that are too good to hear just once. It's amazing that the classes sound even better on my PC than when I'm there! I absolutely loved it!

I usually place my recorder 5 to 10 feet from the professor, and the sound is perfect even when he walks around and goes further than that. It does not catch much noise from my colleagues, chatting in class but, surprisingly, records efficiently every question or comment!

I could not be more pleased with the quality of the sound, but now that I've used and loved it so much, I wish I had spent twice the money and gotten the Olympus recorder with twice the memory (DM-10)!

My first digital voice recorder, and I couldn't be happier so far. Within minutes, I was recordering and saving those recordings to my laptop. The software installed without any problems, and the USB download, while not exceptionally fast, is very convenient. I am satisfied with the voice quality. My first meeting using this recorder, there was major construction going on right outside the office. That noise had very little effect on the recording. I agree with wanting longer recording time, but for the price, you can't beat this recorder.
