[Electronics-Talk] accessible digital voice recorders

Hello,
It sounds like the HP 4 is no longer made if you can only get it on EBay.
Is the spoken menus in a male or female voice?
What did this recorder do for recording such as the formats it had? Did it
have three microphones like the dm 620 and 720 have?

Curious to know about it because it sounds like now the dm 720 is the more
accessible one with voice guidance on menus. I have the dm 520 now which is
an older model of the dm 720.
The good thing is it even beeps when you press the record and stop buttons
so you can really know you pressed them. Also it will announce when its
battery is low.
I've never seen the hp4 so cannot compare its features.

Ashley

I use an Olympus HP 4 which is now only available on Ebay but it's the best
recorder they made.  If you want something even better, might I suggest the
Eltranex V12 pro.

Fully accessible and it has a very good mp3 encoder at 320KBPS.
