Hi Ian, So long as the BBC software doesn't do any processing on it, otherwise it wouldn't be very scientific <Smile>. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users. Telephone Low-call: 08452 606 277 International: +44(0)1438 742286, Fax: +44(0)1438 759589 mobile: +44(0)7956 334938, Email: mailto:Steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web site: http://www.comproom.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Macrae Sent: 21 February 2007 15:30 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] DS 50 AGAIN Following discussion on this list, and as someone who has know experience of digital voice recorders, I'm currently checking out the Olympus DS50 with a view to possibly reviewing it on In touch. My initial impression is that I'm on the side of those people like Sandra and Andy who said they really liked it. While the talking menus and functions aren't comprehensive it's certainly preferable to something that doesn't have any such feature. And the sound quality seems more than adequate to these old ears. I might even sneakily try recording something like a head-to-head interview on it for broadcast, load it into the BBC's editing package, slip it into the show and see if anyone on the technical side notices or complains. Bet they won't. Certainly no worse than either of my minidisk recorders used with a dynamic mike. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
