When Using the Recorder as a Voice Recorder

Recording

The recorder provides five folders, A, B, C, D and E, and each message recorded in a folder is saved as a Digital Speech Standard (DSS) file or a Windows Media Audio (WMA) file. These five folders can be selectively used to distinguish the kind of recording; for example, Folder A might be used to store private information, while Folder B might be dedicated to holding business information. Up to 199 messages can be recorded per folder.

Both models offer an impressive storage capacity, accommodating a significant amount of audio files. The DM-20, in particular, features 2GB of internal memory, while the DM-10 comes with slightly less. However, both support microSD cards, allowing users to expand their storage options.

The one-touch recording feature allows users to start recording instantly, without navigating through complex menus. This ease of use is particularly appreciated in fast-paced environments where time is limited.

Additional features include voice activation, which conserves memory and battery power by only recording when sound is detected. This is particularly useful in situations where a user may not want to manually manage the recording process continuously.

Furthermore, both models are compatible with a variety of audio formats, allowing for flexibility in file management and playback. Users can transfer recordings to their computers easily, making it convenient to share or archive important audio files.

In summary, the Olympus DM-10 and DM-20 digital voice recorders are exceptional tools engineered to meet the diverse recording needs of users.
