Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This little recorder, and I mean LITTLE, is amazing. When I ordered this I thought it was going to be twice the size. For years, I have been writer and editor and this recorder is really something else. I wanted this to record conversations and meetings to be able to use the information to write stories. I can slip this into my shirt pocket and effortlessly record everything in the whole room--probably due to the stereo microphones. This comes with software you install on your computer and playback the recording--lots of control with multiple speeds, you can slow down the conversation to make it more understandable. I lost the hearing in my right ear in 1991, due to a nearby explosion during the Gulf War. This little device really has saved my job, I might miss something during a conversation or meeting but this enables me to play back the everything and fill in what I missed. CON: It worries me that this device has internal batteries--what happens after they can no longer be recharged? I have had similar Olympic and Sony recorders but they did not measure up at all to this one.
