Additionally, all three models feature a large, easy-to-read LCD screen that displays recording time, battery life, and other important information at a glance.

Battery efficiency is another critical characteristic of the Olympus WS-813, WS-812, and WS-811. They operate on a single AAA battery, providing extended recording time, perfect for long events or fieldwork without the worry of battery depletion.

The WS-813 model includes some additional features such as a voice activation function that captures audio automatically when sound is detected, while the WS-812 and WS-811 offer robust sound quality in a more streamlined package.
