Summary: Can't use 2010-08-02
Comment: I bought this because even though it was more pricy it had 2 GB and seemed to be what I needed in a voice recorder for interviews. Plus, it was pink. Yes if you're a girl that is a selling point- sad but true. I was able to plug the USB drive into my mac computer and it appeared to be charging or something and a ton of manuals and downloads came up. I just didn't know what to do from there. I had bought a mic and telephone recorder to use with this also by olympus and everything was very complicated and the voice recorder wouldn't even turn on! And yes, I had the batteries in. I'll try to figure this out but I'll most likely return it for a refund and buy maybe the sony pink one instead- hopefully i'll have better luck.

Summary: Awesome recorder! Court reporters will love this one. 2010-07-06
Comment: BY JENNIFER OURADA: OK, so I admit up front that I only bought this recorder (I have two other WS-100 recorders already) because it's pink... Sick but true.... It was just so cute and I couldn't resist it. It was also about $80 cheaper than buying another WS-100 which makes zero sense at all as this one has double the memory of the WS-100 and a retractable USB plug instead of pulling the WS-100 apart to plug it in or using a cord that a lot of the other Olympuses have. It also has a rechargeable battery via USB port so I can recharge instead of throwing away batteries every week, so it's eco friendly.
Anyway, the fact is the sound quality is awesome. I'm a court reporter and I just got back from recording an examination under oath with a witness who mumbled all the time. I didn't even use an external mic today; I made do with the internal mics of the Olympus which are one on either side of the top of the recorder. AWESOME is all I can rate this. It picked up ALL of the witness' "under her breath" mumblings that she thought wouldn't make it on the record -- hahahaha!!! I actually did three separate recordings today to see which would be the best, and this pink recorder beats all my external mics by miles. They are hissy and this one is the proverbial clear as a bell. I would recommend this to court reporters both freelance and official. It's awesome. All these mumbling attorneys and judges have no chance against this. And probably all those fumbling mumbling professors if you're a student. :) It also records in wmv format which is about 10 times smaller than wav so it's great and easily uploadable to yousendit and the like.
This is the deal.... Literally.....

Summary: Works wonderful just a little bit of a learning curve 2010-03-12
Comment: I bought this after seeing classmates using their voice recorders. Most had purchased an olympus but a less expensive one and they eat batteries. The WS-500 is rechargeable by you USB outlet on your computer. There are approx. 200 files for keeping this organized and you can even record music. Not a feature I will be using but it's on their. Also I can hook it up to my outlet for my ipod in my car and listen to my notes while I am driving. Awesome in a long commute. Hope you find this helpful.
