Hi Mary. I'm very surprised to hear tghat the DM620 doesn't allow you to pause during a recording without creating a new file.
I'm not sure what you consider to be reasonably priced but my Olympus DM4 definitely allows me to pause a recording without creating a new file. In addition, it also has TTS in addition to the regular voice guidance found in the 620. Because it has TTS, Symantha to be specific, it will read text files, Daisy, and speak file and folder Names. It has 2 very nice stereo mics and a small speaker. The only thing I don't like about this recorder is that it uses a lithium polimer battery and not triple a. You can get them new online for about $300 but I've seen them a few times on some of the buy sell trade lists for the blind. I also have an Olympus DS50 that has voice guidance, uses triple a batteries and allows you to pause a recording without creating a new file.

Will the ls14 or any other reasonably priced accessible recorder let you append to an existing recording? My understanding is that a new file is started, for example, with the dm620, if you pause and start up again. I know you could do stuff with audio editing software. But I'm not interested in that. I want to do what you use to be able to do with a cassette recorder, i.e. hit the pause button while making a recording, and hit it again or hit a different key to start up the recording and have both pieces end up in one file.
