If all you're doing is recording notes, lists, phone numbers, etcetera, I highly recommend mine, bbut, have to wait till my wife gets home to tell me the model. It was about 55 dollars at Staples, has two triple A batteries and they last forever. It has four files and is very user friendly. It allows 100 messages per file. Can't remember the total hours. Will follow up when Beth gets home, so I can get Model number.

Not only does the DM4 and 5 have audible menus, but they do text to speech, voice commands, and can read DAISY texts. Seems like the way to go for me, if I wasn't already using my cell phone for most of this. Although, my cell phone doesn't have the same recording quality as the Olympus devices. But just think of it, off-the-shelf technology with text to speech and DAISY capabilities. Nice job Olympus. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
