The device combines the following features and benefits:
-It Is very small and handy
-Super Long recording time (depending on the sound quality up to 550 hours)
-The Batteries (2 AAA batery are included) are sufficient for up to 80 hours of recording
-It has a great sound quality, the voice sounds clear (there is even a noise reduction, if loud ambient noise are present)
-The Operation is very simple and intuitive
-a clear, concise and understandable instructions included
-There Are four menus to organize the shots (I use it for German-English, German-English, German-French, French-German), which is also a move within the folder is possible
-man may interrupt shooting with the Rec button and resume
-An Automatic shutdown after 5 minutes is available (if one forgets sometimes turn off the power)
-There Are a headphone and microphone jack
-You Can use the device as an alarm clock (while traveling a space-saving option)
The only drawback:
-There is no interface to the PC either via USB nor memory card, so that no subsequent processing or archiving of files is also possible.
For my purposes, I do not need this PC interface, it is the optimal device to thoughts, ideas, conferences, talks, notes or just take words like in my case, and they later re-listen and possibly be recorded in writing.
For the price an absolute all-rounder, I (and my daughter) there for a perfect score!
