I recorded meetings, but have no way to save it to my computer for future reference or backup. You can either A) record and save it on the device forever, or B) hold the device up to something the can convert and save to your computer. Seems like a lot of work, so this product really is more for simple dictation to yourself that will get deleted and NOT for important meetings you will need to save for backup.

What could be better? A back lit display, and it could wake up faster. But neither of these are substantial complaints. I plan on buying these for my friends who drive truck.
I've owned a lot better recorders, and frankly this could be priced lower... and as another review said it is limited in the area of linking to a computer to save the files, you just can't with this. But it's...Read more
