Hi Tony, The Olympus that I have is not Voice Recognition, it has got Voice Activation, this means when it is in the correct setting, one's voice or any noise will trigger it to record. I think the Olympus DM5 states it has Voice Recognition, I haven't seen one so am not sure. I think one or two members have this later unit, perhaps they can confirm. I would be interested. On my unit although there are 4 folders these are selected by a dedicated button that Bleeps the appropriate number of Bleeps. I think each folder will hold 99 entries these are selected by a rocker button that goes forward or backwards, unfortunately these are not stored in alphabetical order, I think they are Date stamped. Hope you find what you are looking for. Good Luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 9:38 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Flash Memory Recorder Roy, Does that recorder find the phone number say of the person more or less instantly when you speak their name in to the machine like The Parrot does/did? Flash memory think it's called.

Although it has folders these are individually called up by a button. Multiple messages can be recorded in the one folder, these are selected by pressing an up and down rocker, each file is indicated by a Bleep. I believe another person recommended an Olympus in the same price bracket. These units can be operated in one hand. Argos probably still stock these devices. ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 2:22 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Flash Memory Recorder Hi Roy, Thanks for that. I'll go along with the Voicemate for now at any rate but definitely would like something like it in the future! I use it primarily for work and am surprised that there aren't such other type recorders available out there for folk like me!

If you have been used to the Parrot or it's successor, I am sure you would do the same as I did!!!! Return it as almost useless. I think it was priced at £90.00. I have never heard anyone that has made a success of the unit. ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 1:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Flash Memory Recorder Hi Clive again, I had a few moments to spare so rang Cobolt and they don't do the Tap Memo any more and they couldn't say if there will be another such type of recorder apart from the Portable Cassette Recorder! Something like The Tap is what I need I now feel. You or anyone else with other ideas of what may suit I would be happy to hear about it.

Visit their online shop at: www.cobolt.co.uk Hope this helps. Best wishes, Clive Pallett -------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this outgoing message.
