Olympus DP-10 Digital Voice Recorder
The DP-10 Digital Voice Recorder from Olympus is a 100% digital recorder that sports an old school analog design. Made to mimic the look of microcassette recorders, with an LCD that looks more like a tape door, the DP-10 is an entry-level option reminiscent of an earlier time. Aside from its throw back style, the DP-10 features 139 hours of recording (LP mode) and 64 hours of battery life. The DP-10's WMA files are stored to a 1GB built-in memory. When it's time to retrieve stored files the recorder uses a Calendar Search function that allows retrieval of files by the date recorded.
- Records files in the WMA file format
- Built-in mono microphone and large speaker
- Large 1.78" LCD displays an easy-to-read extra large font
- 5 large operation buttons are easy-to-use and clearly marked
- Calendar search for retrieving files by the date they were recorded
- 139 hours of recording in the LP mode, and 68 hours of recording in the HQ mode
- Old school design makes the DP-10 look like an analog microcassette recorder instead of a digital recorder

Comments about Olympus DP-10 Digital Voice Recorder:
I just needed a simple device to record random thoughts that pop into my head throughout the day. I really like the design of this unit. The big display makes it easy to read. And the three colored buttons for play, stop, and record make it super simple to use. It's slightly bigger than I expected, but I don't have anything to compare it against. The recorder has real good sound quality and ample volume from the built-in speaker. The only minor drawback for me is that it takes a second or two to initialize when the unit is powered up. I find myself powering it on and off again several times during the day. I haven't used it long enough to judge the battery life. I think it's a great little recorder and a good value for the price.

I bought this product for overall use to record people's stories and to take with me whenever I visit the doctor's office. Great product, ease of use is superb, sound quality is admirable and complete. It is extraodimarily lightweight and seems to have a wide range of capabilities in terms of distance sound can be picked up.

Comments about Olympus DP-10 Digital Voice Recorder:
I bought a number of these for use by clients who are not tech-savvy, and I'm very happy with them. Big, friendly buttons, decent sound...a basic recorder that's cheap and easy. Audio can't be transferred to PC, but that's a pro in my case.
