I'm interested in getting a relatively cheap digital voice recorder to record lectures and such and was wondering what others are using? Also, is the software, if any comes with it, usable with a screen reader? I have an olympus DSS 330, but after a coke spill, it no longer works. The software that came with it stank in terms of accessibility, and I'd rather not go through that again. I also notice that a google search yielded virtually nothing on this topic. I know, most notetakers now come with built in recorders, but I want something separet from my BN. Thanks for reading, and in advance for any responses.
I've got an Olympus DM10. I love the actual voice recorder, but the software that comes with it sucks when it comes to accessibility.
the ICDP320 voice recorder from I believe sony is great. It's about 60 bucks, but the software is not only accessable, but it is phenominal
Yeah, I did find it on amazon and google, thanks! Do you notice any draw-backs to it? I mean, are there a lot of menu driven options or things like that? My guess, from what I've read, is that the only real menu option is to move files from folder to folder, or to navigate around the folders? Or have you found a work around for this as well?
Scott, I just got one of the new Sandisk mp3 players/fm radios/voice recorders. I'm still trying to just work with mp3 files. You might check out the blindcooltech podcasts on the olympus ds series. They have the 30 40 and 50, each with different amounts of memory. I think there's a link to the documentation on blindbargains.com for this series of recorders as well.

Thanks Lou, I'll check it out!
Yeah brook, I had the same exact problem with my DSS 330. I could only get the files off the recorder by hooking the thing up to the line in on my computer, and recording it that way.
hi, i use the soney recorder but the software is kinda trick to install.
I recently started using the ediral R09 digital flash recorder. it's really neat, it uses sd cards, I have a 2 gig currently in the unit, it's got a USB port and you can drag and drop files using windows explorer so you don't need to use any third party software. The unit is pretty tactile friendly. You can record up to 24 bit, 96kHz which is cool. it's got two condenser mics built in and the recording is very clean as it's a solid state recorder. it's around four hundred bucks though and is meant more for field recording. i am very happy with the unit despite it's price.
