Well Daran, the most important function non-access to time/date function denys
us is the
timer recording facility, which does lessen the recorder's value for money to
us, but it is
a big step forward beyond what recorders with untagged speech prompts allow. I
guess TTS
capability would have increased the price somewhat. Michael Lang does tell us
that as it
is, the recorder uses around 200 WMA voice prompt files as it is.
It would be interesting if a more specialist version of this recorder could be
made
available through, say Aids to Living, but I know that's not at all likely to
happen.

Hi
I also listened to the review of the DS 50 last night. I thought Michael
did an excellent job of describing the functions. I just thought it was a
shame that it is not completely accessible. It seems that any functions that
require you to enter times or dates are not spoken. This may or may not be a
problem depending on what you are going to use the machine for. But I don't
think it would have taken much effort for Olympus to make all the menu
functions accessible.
From what I've heard the only difference between the DS 40 and DS 50 is the
amount of memory. The former having 512MB & the latter having 1GB. If I
were to buy one I think I would go for the DS 40 as the amount of recording
time is still very impressive. It will be interesting to see if the price
comes down in the next few months.
Darren.
