I bought this recorder a couple weeks ago, and I am thrilled with its performance so far. I conducted two interviews yesterday; one interviewee was a very quiet talker, and I was concerned that the recorder might not pick everything up -- but when I loaded the file into the computer, everything was perfectly clear and audible! In the second interview, my interviewee whispered something -- even that came through perfectly clear. The recorder is easy to use and self-explanatory -- I haven't even looked at the user's manual yet, but was able to set the date and time easily and access my recordings with no trouble.

I use this little jam for recording meetings and yoga classes. It is simple and does the job. If I need to improve the level and remove the noise I can move the file to the computer and edit it.

The Olympus VN-702PC is built for simple and easy note-taking in the classroom or at work. It features VCVA which is Voice-Activated Recording which eliminates "dead air," creating seamless recordings that are ideal for transcription. The Olympus VN-702PC boasts PC download via USB, records in both MP3 and WMA formats and offers 2 GB of internal memory and records up to 823 hours. The device is compatible with microSD memory cards up to 32GB, allowing even longer recording sessions.
The recorder is equipped with a high-performance monaural, omni-directional microphone that collects sounds clearly from all directions. The improved microphone signal to noise ratio enables clearer voice recording. The Voice-Activated Recording feature begins recording when audio is detected and the device will stop after a prolonged period of silence. The recorder will immediately begin recording again when sound begins again. The result is a seamless recording free of dead air. This is a huge time saver for users who need to transcribe recordings for meetings or class notes. No more fast forwarding, combining multiple audio files or waiting for the action to pick up again.
Another useful feature for taking notes is a built-in stand. It works much like a kickstand and allows users to read the menu without having to look down at the recorder and eliminates undesired noise from the placement surface. A Calendar Search feature makes it simpler to find audio files by organizing them according to recording date. The Olympus VN-702PC captures stereo sound with an external condenser microphone and can record in both MP3 and WMA formats. Files can easily be downloaded to a computer via USB. It's equipped with 2 GB of internal memory resulting in over 850 hours of recording and has a microSD card slot with the potential to hold up to 32 GB of additional memory.
