Hi Ray,
In my view, its kind of half-baked accessibility again. I hate this =
kind of
stuff. You can set the recording quality, although you can't set bit =
rates,
but as soon as you go into for example, set the clock, the voice =
guidance
system goes away. Great stuff as far as it goes, but definitely =
half-baked
accessibility. It certainly won't replace my lovely R-09.
All the best

I'd like to thank Daran for pointing us to Mike Lang's review of the =
Olypus
DS50 which I've just listened to. Michael Lang is a good example of =
what
descriptive reviews aught to be, even if his opening and slamming the =
window
shut to test the auto-record mechanism gets a bit trying. Suppose from =
a
purists standpoint auto only is a minus point, but then the DS50, =
,despite
this, is a definite step forward in the direction of accessability in a
mainstream product.
Wonder if anyone has bought one here yet? Lowest price I've seen on the =
net
is around =A3230.00. Nice too to hear of anyone using it as an MP3 =
player.

Terry, here's a link from a chap called Michael Lang, who's put together =
a
little piece on the recorder. I'll just paste his message below.
Darran
I created a little review of this new talking recorder from Olympus. I =
also
uploaded some demo recordings, which I made on this new machine. You can
listen to all of that at
www.longus.info.
If you don't want to download the files, but your browser wants you to, =
just
copy the addresses into the clipboard and paste them into the open box =
of a
player like Winamp, Winamp can then stream the MP3 and the WMA files.
