Review: Good sound quality. Easy to use. Reliable brand. Rugged, no damage from multiple drops. - I highly recommend the Olympus WS-801 Voice Recorder because : (1)Very simple, easy to use compared to Sony etc. Press button labeled "REC" to record, button labeled "ERASE" to erase file, button labeled "STOP" to stop recording or playing. No "accidental" erasure. Red light is lit up and is solid when recording. (2) Good sound quality when recording cell or land line phone using the Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-up Microphone for $14 on desertcart. Background noise is minimal. Olympus microphones for other special applications, all sold on desertcart, include : ......$16 ME-52W Noise Canceling Microphone with 3.3 feet cord ......$48 ME-51S Stereo Microphone ......$14 ME-12 Noise Canceling Microphone, good for transcription etc Search by the model number, like ME-52W. (3) Comparable products like Sony ICDPX312 ($59.99) etc cost more. (4) Price charged by seller desertcart is lower than 6 sellers I have checked. (5)Record on the internal built-in 2 GB card. Or record on a microSD card (up to 32 GB, not supplied) inserted into the port of the recorder. (6) 3 ways to connect to computer : ...(a)insert slide-out USB connector into USB port of a computer ...(b)insert micro SD card into reader port of a computer. ...(c)insert micro SD card into a card reader which is then inserted into USB port of computer. (7)An user's manual in a pdf format, provides much more details than the printed booklet, is on the CD under directory PDF. (8)Screen has a 3-bar battery charge indicator. Press + or - to increase or decrease sound volume in increment as shown by bar graph on screen. (9)Very durable. I have dropped it about 4 feet high at least 30 times with no noticeable damages to outside or sound quality. (10)Small and light weight. Both WS-801 and TP-8 microphone easily fit inside shirt pocket horizontally or vertically. Notes : ------- Uses one removable AAA battery. One alkaline AAA gives 20 to 27 hours recording depending on sound quality, or 19 to 24 hours playback. Time for Ni-MH AAA is about 4 hours less. A 2 GB card gives 508 hours in 8 kbps WMA format, or 32.5 hours of recording in 128 kbps WMA format, or 16.5 hours in 256 kbps MP3 mode, or 500 songs of 4 minutes each at 128 kbps A 32 GB card has 16 times the capacity of a 2 GB card. 4 GB card has 2 times. It takes time to research all these information. Please click "Yes" if this review was helpful to you.
Review: Audio quality high enough to use for recording separate soundtracks for video. - I wanted this primarily to record audio tracks separate from the accompanying video. This is a common practice. The microphones on video recording devices are, of course, fixed in the sense that they are a part of their host device: i.e., DSLR, smartphone, video camcorder, etc.Move away from the video recording device and the sound gets weaker; noise may be picked up from the zoom lens or other internal parts and so on. So, many videographers use a separate audio recorder, very often a Zoom or Tascam. i wanted something simpler, less bulky and less expensive, but still capable of producing good audio. The WS-802 and WS-803 do the job. Both units are very small, very light, relatively inexpensive and very easy to use - and both are capable of providing excellent recordings of the human voice. The units have far more features than I will need or use. The key things for me are ease of use and audio quality. A plus is the built in memory (more than ample for my needs), long battery life and the built-in USB connector. I can plug in a lavaliere microphone, run the cable under my shirt, press a button to start recording, clap my hands or use a dog training clicker to create synchronization markers and know that I will have good audio regardless of how far I am from the camera, how strong the wind and so on. Much higher quality and far more affordable than low- and mid-range wireless mics. Jerry

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product is great a super recorder shipping by fedx postal service again but not too bad
*by A***R on August 11, 2013*

The product is great and does everything (but charge the battery) that it says it will. Can record a conversation or meeting across a room (12x12). The customer service from the company that has this is the Pits.... The instructions that come with it are horrible. Not enough information on all the different things it does. and how to operate them. Print so small you will need a magnifying glass. Never could get the usb thingy to charge the battery through the CPU... so have not used when battery went. Reported this to Amazon and since there is only 1 battery you can not put it in a wall charger (they take 2 to activate charging) they have rectified this by sending me a second battery so I can charge the one that came with it. Because of the Customer Service from the company that sells it (not Amazon) I would not recomend getting this. But it is a good recorder. Just buy a wall charger and second battery. I have to commend Amazon on their superb customer service and representatives. When ever I have had a problem with a product they have stood behind the product and rectified any problems. Really takes the crap shoot our of buying on line. And the people at the Amazon Store Card have been just a great. Have tried to buy in quantity so as to get free shipping and the delayed interest. So far I have not had to pay interest on any but a few items. And would not have had to if I had been smarter and made my buying list or wish list and then sat down and ordered. If you shop and buy smart, online shopping at Amazon, can be a good and money saving experance.
