Hi Mike,

I highly recommend the DM-670.  It does all you want.

All the best

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Olympus Voice Recorders

Hello.

At the risk of making everybody groan because I have no doubt this will
have come up before, I am in the market for purchasing one of the
Olympus digital voice recorders for taking notes on the move and
recording meetings etc.

There seems to be a dazzling number of options as far as models goes. 
So I'm after recommendations and experiences.

What I need is the following:

1.  Fast deployment.  In other words it needs to be as fast as possible
between deciding I should be recording something to setting the
recording in motion.  A lot of devices seem to have an annoyingly
complex sequence to starting a recording.  Both my Victor Reader Stream
and my Plextalk Pocket fall into this category, especially the
Plextalk.  It is annoyingly slow to start a recording.

2.  Nice to have but not vital would be the 'buffer' option that some
recorders have where they constantly record a few seconds of sound which
is placed at the start of a recording to help to prevent loss of data at
the start, buffering the time it takes to react and press the button.

3.  Record in MP3 preferable.  It would be nice if it recorded in MP3 as
well as maybe WMA and WAV.

4.  Long battery life.  More than an average eight hour work day of
battery life.

So...does anybody have any recommendations?

Mike
