User questions & answers

Question:	is it mac compatible
Answer:	It is compatible to both platforms
Question:	Is there an automatic record function with pause for silence? What I mean is can I have it always recording but pause for silence
Answer:	I don't use this function but I looked through the manual and find no mention of automatic record.The VP-10 is a good recorder, which I use to dictate to Dragon. For that it does well, but you need to be aware that it has no manual pause button during recording, so when you start and stop a dictation, you create a new file. To me, the convenience of the small recorder has so far outweighed the inconvenience of having a whole bunch of files, because I can drag them one by one onto the Dragon transcription window and merge the transcription manually. But if you can't live with that, don't buy this machine.
Question:	Is there a mic jack
Answer:	No. The top of the recorder that sticks up from a shirt pocket has a headphone jack, but there is no mic jack or double function input/output. For a mic input you may want to look at some of the slightly larger pocket-size recorders made by Olympus, Sony and Tascam.
Question:	How long does it record maximumly for one recording? For Example 2 hours non-stop
Answer:	Depending on the format/sample rate (ranging from linear PCM/ WAV stereo 16-bit @ 22kHz, to 5kbps Mono WAV,) you can get between 24 hours to 50 hours of battery life from a AAA alkaline cell. However the 4gB memory will only hold 12 hours' of PCM files because those files are so large. WMA @ 5kbps mono will take 1,620 hours of files to fill 4GB of memory, but there's only 50 hours of battery power per battery at that bitrate, so you'd have to change batteries 32 times.Bottom-lining it, at CD quality on one new alkaline AAA battery you can get 12 hours of recording, and at the lowest quality there'd be enough battery power to get approximately 24 hours of continuous recording.

Product features

High-Quality Stereo Recording in all environments

The VP-10 recorder has omni-directional stereo microphones in order to securely capture every sound and voice, whether recording from your pocket, clipped to your notebook, or from anywhere else. The recorder has low noise, high-quality microphones in its compact slim body.

Anti-Rustle Filter

The Anti-Rustle filter cuts rustling noise while recording in your pocket. Our unique technology identifies the difference between a voice and a rustling sound from its characteristics, and effectively suppresses the noise only. This enables powerful exclusion of the rustling noise generated when recording from your pocket, to achieve a low-noise, clear sound.

One-Touch Recording

Instantly activate with one-touch and never miss a recording opportunity. You can silently and quickly activate the recording with one-touch even in your pocket, thanks to the REC slide switch. You can start recording without making the other party self-conscious. Moreover, even when the power is off, you can start recording in an instant with just a touch, so you will never miss a recording opportunity.

USB Direct Connection

USB direct connection lets you recharge the unit without requiring a cable. A USB built into the body lets you connect directly to a PC simply by removing the cover. Not only can you easily exchange data between a PC without the need for cable or software, you can also recharge the unit from the PC without taking out the battery. Of course, you can also use it as an USB memory stick.

Four Recording Scene Modes

By simply selecting from the menu, you can choose optimum recording settings according to specific scenes. The "Pocket" mode is effective for recording a wide range of voices from your pocket and with the "Dictation" "Conference" or "Meeting" modes, anyone can easily make flawless high-quality recordings, even in an environment requiring a quick response.

Noise Cancellation

Even more natural and clear sound, with new Noise-cancellation function. The world's top level noise cancellation technology has been made even more powerful, strongly cutting out background noise recorded with the voice. With the new algorithm, it performs a more natural voice reproduction while having improved noise exclusion.

Voice Balancer

When recordings contain multiple speakers, the Voice Balancer makes smaller voices louder and ensures that louder voices stay below a given level, providing playback where everyone can be heard clearly. This comes in handy when recording sound sources from multiple positions, such as at a meeting. The prominent noise produced when amplifying small sounds is reduced. By eliminating the lower and higher frequency, the voice is even more enhanced.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you add a remote control to this recording device and daisy chain microphones
Answer:	There is no plug for remote control, as there was for the DM 520, nor any way to add one, apparently.
Question:	silent operatio
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	Can you actually hear through regular Playback mode
Answer:	Yes, you have the option of built in speaker which you can set on or off, and headphone jack for ear buds, headphones, or playing through a boom box or stereo/HiFi system. As with any external speaker/headphone pay attention to specs on impedance (which seem reasonable normal in this case)., it has a reasonably powerful speaker for such a small device. You can adjust volume from the playback interface while playing. Volume control seems awkward at first, but it is fine - actually consult manual diagram and it is easy to access and adjust once you are clear how. See the operating diagrams on volume control steps. They make it much more clear as to how to quickly operate the device properly. The menu inside the device is not overly complex and with a little clarity from the quick start and operating manual documentation it is not hard to fully set up and use the recorder. It also has jacks for stereo headphone and microphone. Three mics are built in. The speaker is on the back top of the device. Very good for such a small compact device. This is a high quality device consistent with Olympus quality. I can hear it fine with volume set halfway or less. You must control volume from the player controls on screen which is fine. There is no physical volume wheel or slide switch. Sound quality is good and adjustable with an profile equalizer for type of source like e.g., music, rock, jazz, classical. Has scenes (modes) for recording and playback. Personally, I am just unhappy about the lack of native Audible compatibility, per my review. If it had that I would be very happy with it. I will probably keep it and add buy another recorder like DM-620 for Audible. Otherwise, so far I like the recorder in terms of operation and rest of features. Choose carefully between the various models in terms of features, model line and price. It is just not what I needed it for and was misled by Olympus pre-sales. Olympus by the way makes tremendous cameras as well. Yes I know, a little more than the question you asked. internal Menu very good and easy to navigate. Control design is very good and positive. This device seems primarily designed for lectures and meetings, notes to self, transcription; With the added benefit of ability to play music or audio files or any .mp3 or .wav (with several coices of quality/compression/file size) files and the ability to add up to 32 Gb of external storage. You can move them back and forth between your computer where you can also edit them using built in USB (2.0) connector. So very convenient and self contained.
Question:	What languages can it transcribe
Answer:	This does not do any actual transcription. "Transcription Mode" allows easier starting/stopping of playback for someone who is transcribing the recording...that is, capturing what was said for a printed version.

Product features
