REVIEWS:
1) A bargain: I am happy with the product and was pleased with the price.
I am not able to use dragon text to speech on it but that was not a primary reason for buying it.
2) Olympus WS-100 digital voice: I like the size of this recorder but was not too happy with the directions that came with it. The sound on playback is terrible. I thought it was a total waste. However, once I transferred the files to my pc and used windows media player, the sound improved greatly. So, for the price, I think the refurbished digital recorder was definitely worth the money.

3) Amazingly versatile: For a remanufactured product, I was amazed to get such an excellent product. It worked as a brand new recorder and it did not have any scratches at all. For the same price I could have got a recorder without USB port and less memory in a regular store. I am glad I found it in Amazon.
