Digital camera reviews of Olympus DS-40 Digital Voice Recorder

Digital camera Review: Great for large rooms
Summary: 5 Stars

I read some of the reviews before purchasing this recorder and thank everyone who wrote a review. I purchased an eyeglass case to keep it in as someone mentioned and to solve for the handling noise that so many spoke of and encountered myself, I purchase an extension and that solved that problem. The included software comes with a noise reduction/canceling feature that works very well. The other benefit is that it is "Dragon" compatible so that I can print out everything I record. I highly recommend it!
