      Comments about Olympus DS-2400 Digital Voice Recorder:

      It is a handy little machine, unfortunately, if you are running it on MAC software you cannot convert the files to DSS from DS2. This is a problem and we would like to return this model for one that uses the DSS format.

        Comments about Olympus DS-2400 Digital Voice Recorder:

        So far the DVR has worked great! Ive recorded lectures as well as personal dictation complimented with my Dragon Preferred 10 software.

        I was a little disappointed that it has no power adapter connection. I didnt really see that till I bought it. But, all in all it has been a good buy.
