Olympus VN4100 Digital Voice Recorder

Product works well. Received in a timely manner from seller. Would recommend buying again from this seller.

This is my first voice recorder and it's simple enough to figure out how to use it. The speaker for some reason wasn't working when I first got it but after switching to LOW setting, it seems to work just fine. I use this while driving as I think of things to do or stuff I need to follow up with at work. It is small so it's easy to carry around and it comes with a case for your belt. The buttons are well spaced so you shouldn't hit two buttons at once.

I bought it 1 month ago

of course this can record very long time

but that is all

recording quality is too bad to record

and this recorder is only record the voice

it do not record as a mp3 file or anything else.

to listen the recordings I have replay the recorder.

How inconvenient this is.

So I have to buy anohter thing

But funny thing is only 30$ mp3 player can record the voice

much better than this poor recorder

For anyone who previously enjoyed the simple Voice-It recorder which has been unavailable for years, this is the next best thing for recording notes to oneself. Sound quality is good and controls are simple. Like the locking slide switch which precludes accidental recordings and increases battery life. Oddly the instructions did not include how to adjust volume (push the + and - during playback). Would recommend especially for the $30 price.

This company(Olympus) cheats customers by luring them to believe that VN4100 is the same as VN4100PC.The difference lies in the computer connectivity.This Voice recorder which bears the VN4100 does not have USB Port and thus CANNOT do a file transfer to the computer.So the question of email sending of voice files is impossible.
Also, the battery functionality is not good.The moment the hold button is on and the battery is replaced the machine crashes and becomes useless.
The design is sleek but it has not substance.
