Amazon.com Item Description:The W-10 doesn't just make it easy to record, it makes it easy to manage audio and image files, too. With two folders devoted to audio files--each capable of storing 100 messages--and a dedicated folder for image files that can hold 250 pictures, organizing and locating important files is simple. You can even move files between folders and erase a single file or an entire folder. Thumb-pad navigation is available with a jog dial, and the W-10's built-in 16 MB memory provides up to three hours of recording in long-play mode (other modes are standard and high-quality). Audio is stored as WAV files, and images are JPEGs. The recorder can be voice activated, and it even has an alarm feature, so you'll never miss an interview. Included Voice Album software lets you display pictures on a PC monitor in slide show fashion and add descriptions and narration to recorded images.
An LCD panel shows recording time remaining, sound quality, folder name, and other non-image-related information (though the LCD cannot be used to review pictures). When the recorder is hooked up to an external monitor, however, visual indexing lets you display an image while playing related audio. The W-10 uses a 0.3 Megapixel CMOS chip for visual indexing (640 x 480 resolution). The W-10 runs on two AAA batteries (not supplied) and cannot run from an AC adapter. Two batteries run about 24 hours. Supported operating systems include Microsoft Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional, and XP Professional and Home editions. Your computer must be running an Intel Pentium II class 233 MHz or faster with 64 MB RAM minimum and a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 sound board (or 100 percent compatible). Your video card and display must be 800 x 600 pixels minimum with 256 colors minimum. One available USB port is required.

not what i was looking for
This item works fine, my only problem is that i expected the audio files to be easily transported out of the device and into folders in my computer, however i found you cant,(i had hoped to add its audio to videos i'd made) but if your looking for a dictaphone from which to take notes from lectuers and interviews, its perfect.oh and dont bother with the camera function.its useless.

So far so good
I recently purchased the voice recorder and was a little hesitant due to the fact that it was a refurb. I have, so far, had no problem with the product and think it was a great purchase!
Buyer's review: -
Solid recorder for the money
As others have said, the low quality setting yields poor results unless the sound source is close by and quite loud. That said, the high quality setting seems to work quite well in a variety of situations. I haven't used the camera, but I would suspect that it is poor, at best.

Functional and Good Value for the Price...
I bought this recorder to create some podcasts of my classes (high school). The idea is to have the students record certain group projects and then use the audio to create "quick and dirty" podcasts - nothing fancy. The sound quality is pretty low, even on "HQ", but, for the price, I really can't complain. It sounds like a very old-school tape recorder in a lot of ways. I'm not even going to talk about the camera as a functioning part of the piece because it's a piece of crap (your cell phone will do much better). But the recorder is easy to use, with working through the menu being easy enough for a bunch of 14-year-olds to figure out. If you're looking for something quick, simple, and cheap and the sound quality isn't an issue as long as it's audible, then the Olympus W-10 is your best bet.
