This Olympus VN-541 Digital Voice Recorder might not have the look of my old-style Olympus analogue cassette voice recorder but it is cheaper, doesn't need tapes and it has many more modern features than my older model. For around forty pounds you get a device that is an easy-to-use conventional voice/comms recorder that has useful features like one-touch recording, noise cancellation, selecting the type of audio source, and playback speed control. This model has 4 GB of flash memory and comes supplied with two AAA batteries, a micro USB cable and instructions; battery life should be around sixty hours and recording capacity over 1000 hours.

I have been using a 'Dictaphone' for my work for years, the machines I have owned had the tiny cassettes for recording. This had been all fairly satisfactory - until I tried this little Olympus recorder. Using this Digital Voice Recorder has been akin to coming out of the dark-ages into the 21st century!The machine itself is so light to carry, weighing far less than my mobile telephone and is very easy and quiet to use. There is none of the clunking and clicking of the old type of voice-recorder, this is excellent when working in a quiet environment. It is also very easy to operate and very straightforward to set up, even for someone who is not really tech-savvy (although I must say that the pictorial instructions sheet is not that easy to follow,

This is a handy wee recorder - I got it for my mother, who has memory problems. I can record a wee message to remind her what time appointments are, what days people are visiting etc, and she only has to press the button to remind herself. This means I haven't needed to use any of the more advanced functions such as uploading files to a computer, so I can't really review how easily that works.The actual recording and playback are simple enough, with the buttons clearly marked and the one-hand operation being very useful in contrast to having to press a couple of things before you can record. You can fast-forward and backward through recordings, and there are different settings according to your surroundings and what you're recording.

First thing I really like about this new digital recorder is the slide switch to record instead of a push button. The helps accidently pressing it and stopping the recording if its in a bag or pocket.The recordings are very clear with no background noise which I also really like so the noise cancelling does really work.You can choose for 4 types of recordings, memo, talk, music and long play.The 2 x AAA batteries that are needed are included and last up to 60hours and there’s 4gb of built in storage for the recordings.There’s a Micro USB lead included and I’ve tested this on Mac and PC and both connect and work fine.There’s a basic manual included but set up is really easy and intuitive and

I purchased the recorder to record some interviews for my master thesis.I needed something very simple and easy but still reliable, as I didnt want to lose any of the interviews. The recorder has four folders which I used to store the interviews differently (I had several interviews during one day). Format is .wma.Battery Life was great, i didn't have to charge it during my seven interviews.The recorders comes bundled with a microUSB cable and two batterys, so ready to go.Further, it turns on immediatly when you push the slide switch button, perfect if your interview partner is saying something important what you don't wanna miss!

Straight out of the box this product really impresses. My expectations were easily surpassed by the solid build quality and pleasant weight and balance in the hand. It could not be easier to learn the basic controls and yet there's plenty of scope for adjustments if you are a fiddler. Sound quality is acceptable for a product of this kind and vocal recording is good. All in all, this is a good bet if you are after something like this. It feels like it should have a long life of service and is well designed to boot. Dial in excellent price and it is a no brainer!!

I needed a dictaphone for making notes easily while on the move. This voice recorder is ideal for my purpose and I cannot fault it. If there is any criticism it is the that the instructions supplied only give basic operations. There are advanced procedures which are not mentioned, for example the instructions tell only how to delete individual files. It is possible to delete all files in a folder if you wish.One benefit of this dictaphone is that if the item is switched off it will switch itself on straight away when you slide the record button.

I know I carry a mobile which can record but sometimes my preference is to use a dedicated device for that task. This recorder appeared at the right time for me to record thoughts, ideas and remindersIt small, records well and came with 4gb or storage and batteries. The manual is thick but I couldn't be bothered to read it. Press one button to record then use the shuffle button then play button to hear the recording you be made...simples.

Excellent bit of kit, very user friendly presumably because its also aimed at younger users like school and university age but really its just as good if you are in meetings and you need something where note taking is either not practical or you simply need something to complement it. Good quality sound as well and pretty clear. No complaints very good product.

I wanted a recorder to capture interviews of people's experiences during WW2 for the forthcoming VE Day celebrations. I have never used a voice recorder before and read many reviews before purchase.What a splendid little device this is so easy to use both to record and playback when typing up the interview.It can be dangerous however if left on!

This is our second Olympus Digitial Voice Recorder. The only reason we purchased it is because our old recorder is not compatible with our Computer System. This new one is. Able to record and transfer from our DVR onto the computer as a file. Often then download a file onto a CD if we need to.

Really easy to use, recordings start instantly (seems odd to say, but cheaper ones didn’t), only lost a star as it seems expensive. We use this for community Speedwatch, and it is perfect to record details of speeding cars for playback, writing up and submission to our local PCSO.

Does what it says it does. You can at the same time record from external source (jack) and listen with a headset (second jack). Which offers many possibilities. WMA only - mono 32kbps, 16 or 5. Quite light, not rechargeable batteries. So if it fits your needs, just go for it.

An excellent voice recorder which has made my secretarial duties so much easier and allowed me to participate in the meetings fully. How did I ever manage without it?
