Digital recorder users on the go need enhanced equipment

Like smartphones that have become used for much more than just making phone calls, digital voice recorders too have evolved to go beyond simple audio capturing.

For digital recorder users who pride themselves on multitasking and require a little more from their recording devices, Olympus has stepped up with the WS-510M. The device is so much more than a simple voice recorder, featuring storage and organizational features that go above and beyond what perhaps even the most discerning user requires.

The WS-510M allows for hands-free use through voice activation functions. That means users can begin a dictation without picking the device up off their desk.

And for heavy dictation users, the device allows for the organization of up to 200 files in five folders for a total of 1,000 files. Users don't have to worry about overloading the device, as it features 4 gigabytes of internal flash memory.

Also, the recorder can double as a USB flash drive, allowing users to store music, photos and other files. In all, the device can support up to 1,000 music files in either MP3 or WMA formats.
