Amazon.com Product Description
The Olympus DM-10 stereo digital voice recorder and music player packs 64 MB of built-in flash memory to give you nearly 22 hours (1,340 minutes) of voice recording or a full hour of near-CD-quality music in either MP3 or WMA formats. The DM-10's compact, lightweight design and smooth, silvery finish make it an ideal travel companion. Measuring a mere 4.31 x 1.56 x 0.6 inches (H x W x D) and weighing in at a mere 3 ounces, the attractive and ergonomic DM-10 fits comfortably in the hand of the on-the-go professional or exercise enthusiast. The DM-10 has five separate file folders capable of holding 199 files each, so you can organize nearly 1,000 files according to subjects like "work," "personal," and "to do." When recording, simply capture your high-quality voice files in either WMA or DSS (Digital Speech Standard) format, and then place the recorder in the included USB docking station to begin downloading hours of audio to a PC or Macintosh computer. Stereo voice recording is possible with an optional stereo microphone. Alarm playback will alert you to meetings, dates, show reminders, or wake-up times. You can simply dictate reminders into the DM-10--such as "Time to pick up the kids!"--and assign a time for this message to sound, like an alarm clock's buzzer. Built-in WOW sound enhancement produces rich bass, and three-dimensional sound, while a user-selectable five-setting equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your taste or environment. Olympus's innovative noise-canceling technology makes the sound even clearer, removing unwanted hiss and background noise. The unit offers a built-in condenser microphone, and a 0.125-inch microphone jack gives you the option to use a high-quality external microphone (not included). A 0.125-inch earphone jack and supplied stereo earbud headphones let you monitor your files during or after recording. To suit various sound conditions, you can adjust the microphone's sensitivity. The recorder can be viewed in low-light situations, such as at a lecture hall or during presentations, thanks to its easy-to-read backlit LCD. After capturing recordings, you can erase them or move them between folders. The DM-10 also lets you set up to 16 index marks per message, during recording and during playback. This way, you can locate specific sections of individual dictations quickly and easily. The individual files may be played back at three different speeds: normal, fast, or slow, through either the built-in speaker or the supplied earphones. In addition, with the Repeat Playback function, the DM-10 can repeatedly play back a particular user-selected section of audio recording--ideal for transcribing dictation. The unit's Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) ensures that recording begins only when sound occurs, while its security lock prevents accidental deletion of sensitive files. The DM-10 is perfectly suited to meet varying professional needs. You can easily attach voice files to e-mails or forward them to others for transcription. The optional AS-3000 transcription kit (DSS Player Pro transcription module with foot switch and headset) can further streamline this process. The DM-10 is also compatible with most voice recognition software, including IBM's Via Voice. What's in the Box
Voice recorder, docking station, USB cable, stereo ear bud headphones, CD-ROM, a user's manual, and warranty information.

 Great recorder June 8, 2007
Great value. Very small and light. Great battery life. Easy to use. Excellent performance. Integrates well with Dragon voice recognition program but you should use the highest voice quality - which forces you to into the mode resulting in the shortest recording capacity. Newer units continue to have progressively higher storage capacity so consider capacity you need more than 4 hours of recording time. Otherwise this is an excellent unit. Lower quality settings yield longer times (up to 22 hours) but those settings don't work nearly as well with VR. (note that this is not the fault of the recorder and thus is not a criticism by me)
If you work in a corporate environment and dock this to your work PC it will automatically upload the audio files which is extremely convenient BUT the uploaded files can count against your email storage allotment if you don't pay attention to how you set this thing up. This is easy to deal with but you must understand basic file management which can be a bit daunting for a novice PC user.
 Overall, very useful April 23, 2007
I have arthritis and take notes slowly. This handy device allows me to take down my instructors' notes and not have to worry about missing the lecture; I can always download the lecture and listen to it later. The HQ and SL recording levels are excellent. The recordings are crisp. I also use it for training sessions at work. The music (MP3)uses are fair, nothing special. It's as a recording device, that it shines. Beware: if you don't use if for a while, it will sometimes convert to Japanese icons. If that happens, have the serial number ready and call up customer support; they will take you through the steps to reprogram it.

This recorder has served me well as I been able to record interviews for my research project. The quality of the recordings is spectacular. I was amazed at the battery life. I had anticipated having to replace the battery more often than I had to.

its very sturdy aluminum casing. It records excellent audio from the speakers of an auditorioum even when there is a large audience present. its very easy to use. its small enough that you can put it in your shirt pocket. And
I have a Mac and it sinchronizes perfectly with it.
On the normal mode of recording can record up to 13 hours and the batteries last a good 13 to 15 hours.
I would recommend this product. even though its a bit pricey. If it wasn't because of the price...i would give it 5 stars.
