Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a journalist who has to cover conferences as well as one to one interviews. So far the Olympus LS-11 handheld digital recorder has performed brilliantly in the month that I've used it. It is especially good at up close and personal interviews, even with lots of background noise, as you can hear in this interview with Internet founder Vint [...]
I'm still experimenting with different settings, but the factory settings work pretty well. I haven't tried the software that came with the unit as I am familiar with the free Audacity editing package. But Audacity has its limitations, so I will give the other a try.
I really like the uncompressed PLM recording, so much so that I've not used the MP3 facility. But as I ran out of memory (despite having 8Gb on board) in the middle of an interview, I'm going to expriment with high bit rate MP3.
I bought the companion device that lets yoiui record phone calls. I've only used it once, and found it easy to set up but fiddly to use, and the sound quality was uneven.
On the downside, I found the AA batteries that came with the unit ran out surprisingly quickly. But that is a minor issue. More problematic for me (I've had a double cataract operation) is the screen quality. The characters are small and hard for me to read. This top end device could use a high quality, high contrast screen. Perhaps Olympus could talk to Research in Motion to see who supplies the screens for their BlackBerries. That really would make the LS-11 a complete package for me.
