Olympus DW-90 used here Earl - it cost less than $50 as a discontinued model
and is highly usable for quick voice notes, but also has switchable mic for
recording lectures etc.
It interfaces with the PC through USB for archiving the notes. I haven't
found a way to inject the WAV format recordings into MSOffice speech
recognition, but I haven't tried very hard!
Later models use memory cards, and probably ditch the USB cable.

Subject: [OM] OT: Digital recorders
I am looking to buy a digital voice recorder, primarily for notes while
taking pictures, as well as for general note-taking to compensate for my
increasingly frequent "senior moments".
I will stay loyal and buy an Olympus, of course! Other than that, I know
nothing so will have to educate myself. Anyone have experience with these
and want to offer suggestions/experiences? I'm not so concerned about
capacity as I will probably download to a computer regularly. And I want to
stick to a modest budget while insuring reliability.
Earl
