Product Information

That’s why Olympus have built in a VCVA Voice Sync function that means that recording starts and stops according to a pre-set sound level – that is determined by you. Regardless of where the person speaking is located or the direction of speech, you can clearly capture the information.

The Olympus WS-852 has been discontinued and is no longer available, soon to be replaced by a new product range. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Olympus owners to provide you with a good answer. Now I do professional family history and oral history and much of the work I do is more detailed and of a longer nature, making a recording device vital for my work. A microphone will also help get the crispest audio for running through a speech recognition transcription programs later.This will capture high-quality audio of your subject for use with video, or just so it sounds like your subject is right there, decades later. Some other features include a built-in stand to prevent surface vibrations and a direct USB computer connection to conveniently save your data . There are multiple folder options so if you are working on different projects you can save in different folders. When listening back to your recordings for recap or transcription, there’s nothing that’s more annoying than background noise or ‘dead air’ getting in the way. It has a retractable USB for easy data transfer to a computer and records in the popular MP3 format.

Before deleting a file, ensure that the battery is charged or replaced to prevent it from running out during the process. When recordings contain multiple speakers, the Voice Balancer makes softer voices louder and assures that louder voices stay below a given threshold. MEO Encryption Software is an affordable and easy to use solution for protecting your sensitive data. The Low-cut Filter efficiently eliminates lower-frequency noise such as air conditioners, projectors and outdoor wind to allow for even clearer voice recordings. For this there is the forward/reverse and fast forward/rewind functions allow you to decide exactly what you listen to.Simple Mode displays only essential information in large font and limits the menu options to frequently-used functions. The low-noise directional stereo microphones with a 90° layout deliver a superb stereo feeling – enabling you to feel even the smallest details of the meeting. Since these are used in so many ways, you’ll save a ton of money and waste by using rechargeable batteries. As mentioned before, a recording device is more necessary for my work now, so I set out to find the one best for me. For the WS-853, the USB connector has an additional internal battery charge function for further peace of mind.

That said, you’re much better off uploading the audio and listening on your computer, or transcribing with oTranscribe, a free, browser-based program that mimics a dictation machine. This high-quality device uses two built-in directional stereo microphones to make sure all speaker’s voices are captured.

Ensure fail-proof, high-quality recordings by choosing the scene in which you want to record with the scene select. Early in my career much of my work was for articles for newspapers, magazines or press releases – things of a shorter nature. The ability to change the playback speed is particularly useful when you want to listen to the recording in a very slow mode to understand it really good, such as with language study. I haven’t used the phone recording setting as it requires some headphones, but I think it may come in handy from time to time.
