*This has also been on Ciao, where I am tallulahbang* ~*~Talking Heads~*~ Believe it or not, dictaphones are actually pretty reliable devices for deciding what age range an individual falls into. That shouldn't be all you rely on, mind. Asking 'what age are you?' is probably the best indicator, unless the askee is my mother, in which case the answer will always be the slightly baffling 'older than my teeth but younger than my feet'. Dictaphones, though, give you a handy ten year window in which to pigeonhole your acquaintances. I say this because, when I was a kid, dictaphones were about the size of walkmans and came with a mini-cassette tape ...  Read the complete review

INTRO This is the dictaphone that I brought half way through my first year of uni after i decided to invest in a more modern dictaphone after i realised how useful they are. It initially attracted me due to its good make, with Olympus probably being the market leader in this area, followed by Sony, compact size and 'easy to use' appearance. PRODUCT The product is the typical grey colour with plastic casing and small LCD screen. All the buttons needed to control, organise and playback your recordings are features on the front of the device, with a headphone jack and computer connector on the base and side of the device. Compared to my ...  Read the complete review

INTRO Out of all of the dictaphones I have managed to get through army time at university, this one has to be my favourite. I brought this one in my second year after my first one went first one got miss placed. I was attracted to this device because of the good brand name and it was very compact, lightweight, pleasant appearance and can be connected to a computer. PRODUCT The dictaphone comes in the standard grey plastic case, as you find with most dictaphones. The front of the device has a small to moderately sized LCD screen, certainly big enough to organise and set up your recordings, and has most of the buttons needed to control the ...  Read the complete review

I got this digital voice recorder to record lectures at university and it has been perfect. It records the sound well even from right at the back of a 500 seater lecture theatre, however sound quality is clearer when placed nearer the microphone. There is no distortion in sound quality from being placed right next to the sound source, which I have experienced with previous recording devices. The recorder is small (about 10cm x 3cm x 1cm), making it easily portable. It is extremely lightweight. It doesn't come with a case for protection, which I thought would be a problem, but I've carried it around for 8 months and there's barely a scratch on it. It runs on 2 AAA ...  Read the complete review
