Reviewed on 2008-04-26 Very good dictaphone Efficient to set up, reliable, and insert function all make this a beneficial product. Cost was a bit high, limiting it's review to 4 star level. I might have been able to get something similar for a bit less but I like the feel, weight, button setup and directional mic I purchased with it. The mic is a must.

Reviewed on 2008-04-12 makes my life easier I have a small private practice and wanted to make the next step to digital record-keeping. I went by the reviews before me and by the percentage of folks who bought this in order to make my decision to purchase this recorder. I can't believe I went so long without it. That and the Dragon Speaking Naturally have made life easier. I record, upload it onto the laptop, edit, save and print. It does make the charting go by faster and the notes look a lot better (I have horrendous handwriting--especially when I'm in a hurry). And, I can store everything on thumbdrives for now, until I go to online record-keeping.

Reviewed on 2008-04-09 Excellent for physician use I represent a transcription company - and this recorder is the one we recommend to physicians in solo practice or smaller group practices. I would suggest one recorder per physician, although the recorder can be effectively shared due to the multiple folders available. Very quick process to save dictations to your computer and then upload to your service's website, securely.

Reviewed on 2008-01-31 Avoid this like the plague !!!!! Do not, repeat, do not, buy this item. I puchased one late last year, and within 1 month all of a sudden when I tried to download a file a message came on my computer " memory card is corrupted, see your olympus dealer " . I had to deal with this by having an outside transcriptionist listen to my files and type them out. Having liked my previous recorder from Olympus a few years ago, I thought I would give this one another shot though, so I ordered a new one. Now after using it for a little more than 1 month, I'm getting the SAME MESSAGE !!! I have a 2 1/2 hour long file that's URGENT and this dictaphone won't download the file and it's outside the time I can send it back to Amazon!!! Please be smarter than me - use another dictaphone manufacturer !!!!!
