Hi I have a digical soney dictaphone I can't remenber the number but I find
it hard to see the conrols and I'm just a bit long sighted plus the puttons
are very snall. I tryed transcribing it with dragon and it wasn'it very
sucessful but I think I could get it better if I perservied. I use it when I
have to take mnutes and then listen and dictate myself into dragon and that
works very well.
It is very handy because its small and unintusive and the I find the quality
of recording good, its also easy to use. I never tryed a minidiskrecorder
but this is so much better that a tape and also I can down load the voice
file to the computer and listen as and when I want.
