the olimpus DS 50 has audobol features so when navigating around you're able to hear what you're doing. It records in stario if that is something that you like doing, if quality is what you're looking for their not the greatest with sound so loud noises make it clip. If you record on low volume or no volume then you will be fine and it won't clip that much. just for a meeting or a speech it works really well but if you're recording a concert it clips a little. to the untrained ear it doesn't sound that bad. I have one and use it for University. I like it a lot and with the USB connection it makes it great. some recorders you have to install a program and this one out of the box when you plug it in it opens as if it's a memory stick and you just have to play around with it for a little while but once you figure out what folder the recordings go in you will be fine and can save them as you wish onto your desktop. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask and I will let you know. If you would like I can make a few sample recordings for you and send them to your e-mail as an attachment. Let me know. If you're not wanting to go about it that way check out www.blindcooltech.com this site has a lot of sample recordings with differet recorders and mikes.

Looks like it is time to retire my tape recorder. I just read a little about the Olympus dm420 and dm520. Are these the best two options? --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.
