Excellent recorder for the price |
Bought this so that my daughters can take it with them to their music class and record the teacher's singing for practice. The quality of the recording is excellent for this purpose. I have also used it to record the minutes of a long meeting at work and I could transcribe the minutes from this recorder without any problems whatsoever even though some of the speakers were more than a dozen feet from the recorder in the room.
Operation is also intuitive and simple (even though the use of the record button as a pause button during recording is not intuitive). The user's manual is short and succinct and I don't have any sympathy for people who complain about the product without reading and understanding the manual.
The PC software that comes with the recorder is not anything to write home about, but it works as advertised. The resulting files on the computer can be used as is or they can be transcoded into mp3 using simple and free tools like audacity or mediacoder.
The product comes with batteries, USB cord and a software CD, so it is good to go pretty much out of the box. No extra stuff to buy before you can use it. I have used the product only in the highest quality recording mode so far (XHQ) because it provides about 11 hours of recording even in that mode and I can't imagine needing more recording time than that before I either transfer the recordings to my PC or listen to them and discard them. I am guessing that the lower qualities will be usable for speech, but perhaps not for music.
Overall, the product earns a full 5 stars out of 5. I would buy another without hesitation if I had to. |

Doesn't work with Vista. |
|
Nice recorder, but they neglect to mention in the website regarding the product that *it doesn't work with Vista*. So I bought this recorder 3 months ago, and then got a new Vista laptop. Now I have to buy another recorder. I"m not very happy about this, since neither Jas-store nor Olympus mentioned this very relevant detail. |

Great gift option for the college bound student |
We purchased the Olympus VN-4100PC Digital voice recorder after much research on the working ability of the product and finding the lowest price at Jas-store.com for my daughter as an early Christmas present for college.
She has found this item to be very useful in her lecture classes where she can record them from almost anywhere in the lecture hall and bring them back, download them into the computer and print them out for study notes. According to her this is a grade saving tool which allows her to capture everything being discussed. Since the purchase this recorder has allowed her to get higher grades with little or not much effort because she does not miss a thing. She in in the Radioligic Technology field so you can imagine some of the technical discussion that takes place when she is trying to learn how the human body functions. She did mention that this recorder should not be used on the Extended Play mode if you want to get the best recording or on the Highest mode if there is someone tapping their pencil on the desk as it will pick that up also but would recommend this to anyone who is college bound.
