Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7
Hi, I can't find a dm7 at the olympus site. What you can find is a dm901. It seems to have the same specs and it records in stereo. It was pulling hens teeth to find that. The wi fi thing runs on a Iphone and allows you to trigger your recorder remotly. also you can send pictures to the recorder from your Iphone. Also there is software called controller that ltes you edit files. I don't know if any of this software is accessable or not. -Original Message- From: Aidan Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2015 3:54 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7 Yes, its just ment to transfer files to and from the recorder.

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7
The dm7 are on the Europe and uk and other sites. Not on the American site. There are stil differences between 901 and dm7. Such as tts for dm7 vursus human femail speech on the 901. The 901 have know text file or daisy support, and not as accessible as dm7. The skedular or diary is not easy to use there as on dm7.

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7
I'll look at those functions myself, see if I can work around them. It seems that Olympus have cut down on the internal memory on the DM-7, am I correct in assuming that the DM-7 only has 4GB of internal memory? The DM-4 has 8GB, not a critical point given that SD cards are cheaper than potato chips these days.

I suppose an Internet connection isn't really necessary from the point of view of the Olympus recorder, who knows what - if any - plans Olympus have for the recorder in the future?

Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7
Yes, its just ment to transfer files to and from the recorder. Usually Olympus don't do drastic updates. So they will probably make improvements in another model. I just wunder why they done the dm7 for Europe, but for the USA there were know similar model. At least in the case of the dm4 you had the dm5 for Europe and UK. I don't know why they cut down on internal memory. But I did also note that if you choose to turn off the mike monitor when recording, then it perform or behave better then other models when that is off.

Re: Olympus recorders and audio quality
Awesome, thank you for giving me a better idea on what to look for. I was able to locate this composite option in both user manuals, the dm-620 and the ls-14. I also contacted Olympus's tech support this morning and was given a pretty decent comparison between these two devices, along with the ls-100. This ended up with me asking him a question, which he was unable to really answer, so perhaps it's more appropriate to ask it here. He told me that some of the options that the recorder supports, work better in conjunction with the accompanying software, Sonority, so what types of accessibility issues, if any would I have using it with NVDA? Staying within my price range of about 200 bucks, I'm probably going to begin focusing on either the 620 or the ls-14 which brings me to a small question. What, if any differences in quality can I expect from the microphones on either of these devices. I know that the dm-620 has one extra file format it supports, Windows Media Audio, which perhaps is not so important for me, so what can I expect with using both these devices in recording either in .WAV or .MP3, the two formats I'm more familiar with. I've unfortunately not yet had any luck in locating a review of the 620, to get a better idea of the microphones quality, I have listened to the one recorded by Neal on the ls-14 though. The one thing I do like about the ls-14 is the fact that the battery life is greatly increased, all be the device being a tad bit larger, but is the larger battery capacity plus possible higher quality in audio and ability to hold slightly larger SD cards worth the extra cost? Any experiences with either of these devices or even a possible small recording of the dm-620s capabilities would be totally awesome. Thank you again. Blessings.

While searching around for documentation on the different models, apparently quite lacking with blindcooltech no longer working, I came across this list and was hoping to refresh the interest in this topic and hopefully get some advice. So far, from what I've been able to dig up, it's a choice between, the dm-520 or 620, the ls models, 5, 10, 14 and 100 and of course, the H1 from zoom. My main issues with locating documentation, specifically on the dm-620 is the fact that several pages on this device state that it does not have the accessible menus, comparing it to the dm-670, apparently a device specific to European markets. This however does not seem to be the case, as other sources state that it comes with support for use by the visually impaired. I've been able to locate a few of the podcasts, recorded by Neal Eurs and am in the process of searching for any others I can find, however, one thing I still can't find any information on is the ability to use these devices as an external stereo mic for a computer, outside of recording. I'm honestly not sure if this is just a lack of me not knowing the term used to describe this, but even in the manuals for the olympus devices I've found, I can't find any mention of this. I do know that the zoom has this ability and also that several devices from olympus do as well, but I'm just looking for a more complete list of accurate manuals/documentation. I'm even considering contacting Olympus, here in the US to ask also, but I wanted to find a list to hopefully ask other folks who've used these devices first. Lastly, I'm looking to spend at most around 200 dollars, hopefully a little cheaper so any ideas that anyone can give that may fit the bill would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Blessings.

Yeah it talks. They just have to fix the fact that it doesn't say the folder names, which they are, and they also have to fix the fact that all the multi track stuff doesn't talk.

RE: Olympus recorders
Seemingly Olympus have named their machines differently for different markets. So the 4 is the 5 in the UK. Or is it the other way round.

Supposedly, there is a way to turn off the AVC and manuallly control the input level. In that case it should work fine. So far, I haven't figured out how.

Dane why would you buy the olympus when you already have the zoom h-1 which I think has better-sounding internal microphones than the 520.

Re: Olympus recorders
Hello Tim, After reading the manual downloaded from the Olympus website, I realized that it can record to WMA. Although this is only done when the recording quality is set to HQ, I guess it will serve my purpose for the time being. A 15 minute recording takes up 3.5 mb which is quite reasonable for the sound quality it offers. For anyone interested, WavePad can open DSS files and let's you save them to wave or mp3 or a number of other formats. I believe the site to download it is www.wavepad.com. The basic version is free but add supported. I suppose there is a pro version without the adds. Regards, Kiran Kaja Code Factory S.L.
