Personal dictation devices are meant to provide occasional users with capabilities that help you dictate more efficiently, as opposed to simply recording an event. While they don't have professional features, such as encryption, file transfers and management, and rechargeable power supplies, these recorders can help you be more efficient, while giving you full editing capabilities.
Most inexpensive recorders do not allow you to stop, review and re-record -- important features when you're dictating. Other recorders simply record an event. If you stop and record again, you're creating a new, separate digital voice file. The dictation recorders on this page do allow you to stop, back-up and re-record. You can even insert new passages within an existing dictation file!
On the other hand, the personal dictation recorders on this page record in a special DSS format, which is great for recording the human voice, but less than stellar when recording music or capturing lectures and meetings. For those "events," consider a voice & music recorder.
With many of the features of its professional dictation recorders, the Olympus DS-2400 gives you high-performance at an entry-level price. Uses a removable 1 GB memory card for hours of dictation.
Includes USB cable and DSS Player software for downloading dictations from the recorder.

Typing your dictation can be tremendously inefficient without a digital transcription kit. Controlling the playback of your dictation using a footswitch means less wasted effort moving from word processor to recorder.
