PROS
- Simple, clear design that not only allows for easy use but also looks good
- All the controls you need for basic needs (pause, fast forward and playback, playing speed adjustment, noise canceling and microphone sensitivity); pretty good for a basic device
- Well-designed to-the-point instructions manual
- Built-in microphone works well, and the integrated speaker gives you all the volume you need, delivering a better performance than any device I have used in the past
- Battery indicator in the top right corner is very useful and a welcome inclusion at this price point
- Auto shut-off after 10 min. when not in use to save battery life
CONS
- Finish is somewhat cheap and the feel plasticky - even though built itself is quite decent. Since this particular product is pretty much stand-alone (doesn't depend on evolving computer technology), it is likely to be used by the user for more than a year or two. I would not mind paying a little more for simple, reliable device that will take some abuse during travel and that is built to last for years
- On/off button could be more identifiable by its appearance itself, just as the erase button is (it is orange when the other buttons are all the same grey), it would help when you grab the recorder for an immediate need. I colored my on /off button in green and red with a permanent marker which helps
- A recording level bar would be nice so you can be sure the microphone is capturing the audio with enough strength
5 stars for its all-around value as well as functional and attractive design.
The microphone is powerful and the playback speaker can be quite loud. I like the playback volume knob, so I can adjust the playback volume to my exact preferred level.
It has a standard size earjack for headphones and takes 2 AAA batteries. The battery life seems to be decent, but I can't be sure since I've only used it for a few hours. There is a handy battery life guage on the LCD display so you can tell when the batteries are getting low.
Cons: There is no USB jack or power jack (but I don't personally need either).
The recorder beeps when you use it, and although you can turn the beeps off, I wish there was a way to just turn the beep volume down.
The size is a little big - about the size of an old flip phone - fine for me, but others might not like it.
This lovely little recorder has raised my productivity a lot! If you just need a simple, easy to use recorder, I definitely recommend this one.
The recorder erases one recording, or all recordings of the day, easily and securely; changes playing speed with a touch; protects accidental changes via "Hold", offers ease of use even in darkness. The sound is crisp, clear! When recording a call, it will pick up the sound clearly and will avoid static if kept at arms' length from the phone.
When the recorder is full, and I need to free up space, I run through the recorded dates quickly by pressing Search. I look for a large number of files at the bottom of the "calendar" and push Play to scan quickly forward, listening to every fifth recording to determine the subject(s). Generally the recordings are thoughts and ideas I no longer need, so I delete the entire day's recordings by selecting "Erase in Date".
When I have recorded an important phone call, I make a note of the date and the length of the recording. For example, today I easily found a recording from 4-4-23 because I had noted it is 17 minutes long. the viewing scrren shows 17m. I use the Search Menu to go to the date, then push Play, then push Stop and from there use the Forward button to quickly find "17m", which takes me to the exact recorded call.
The recorder is so easy to use, I would hate to see Olympus stop manufacturing this model. If they do, many of us will be faced with tiny buttons and minuscule print offered on the vast variety of slim recorders. The slim recorders do offer their own unique advantages, but they cannot replace the ease of use of the DP-201.
