Review: Great Sound Quality and Many Unique Features - For the size you can't beat the quality and ease of use. The best feature is how you turn on the recording. Its a switch and not a button. You can leave the recorder on HOLD, so no buttons or setting get changed while in your pocket. When its time to record, you just flip the record switch and it automatically turns on and start recording, if HOLD was already set, when you started the recording it remains on. The USB that is built into the device means you can download your recordings to your computer without cords. The microphones are at the top and are very sensitive. Great sound quality!
Review: Perfect for "anytime" recording - First let me say that I've only just set this up and will add more about performance once I've used it for a while. Setup was SO easy, with good directions and everything working as expected (unusual these days). I wonder if the chap who had difficulty with setup had a defective unit; I'm not nimble with electronics, but this setup was a breeze. I was delighted that this VP-10 came with a charged Ni-MH battery, so I was up and running in 10 minutes. I bought this primarily to carry around and record notes about family history for my grandbaby on the spur of the moment, so the form factor and features are perfect for this purpose. I shopped for days until I found the perfect recorder for my needs; I think this is it. As I said, I'll add more later, but I expect good reliability. I used Olympus recorders in the past, including using them for recording hundreds of hours of telephone interviews for my dissertation. I needed to trust the recorder, and Olympus never failed me. More to follow. . .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it record maximumly for one recording? For Example 2 hours non-stop?**
A: I've done 5 hours, but haven't done the math or tested the battery duration yet.  Once I forgot to charge it and I lost half of my intended recording.

**Q: Is there a mic jack?**
A: No. The top of the recorder that sticks up from a shirt pocket has a headphone jack, but there is no mic jack or double function input/output.  For a mic input you may want to look at some of the slightly larger pocket-size recorders made by Olympus, Sony and Tascam.

**Q: is it mac compatible?**
A: It is compatible to both platforms

**Q: Is there a clip for a shirt pocket, or to clip onto a backpack?**
A: The clip is weak and fragile. If you bend over it is likely to fall out of your front shirt pocket. Possibly you could put it on a lanyard. Fortunately, the recorder itself is superb. I use mine more than once most days and it does a great job of recording. You can instantly go from off/locked to record which is important to me because a lot of my interviews are ad-hoc. I don't play back the recording on this unit though. I move them to my computer and play them back with a dictation system (F5). Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good...For those who want a SMALL reliable recorder & have medium sized fingers or smaller
*by A***W on July 27, 2015*

Giving it 4 stars ("I like it"). As the 2nd reviewer, I had a much different experience than the previous reviewer ("Can't get to setup menu. Manual is an abomination. Worst pocket recorder I've ever seen. By JeffFarmer on July 24, 2015"). I haven't delved into the manual as I like to fiddle w/ stuff like this on my own for a bit prior to RTFM (reading the fcking manual). I found the menu to be pretty easy & intuitive. The manual doesn't seem as abominable as the previous reviewer described but YMMV. Will try to post pics of the English portion of the manual. One of the reasons why the previous/1st reviewer may have had difficulty is because he is probably a dude w/ man hands. If I handed this over to my average male friend, most of them would find the buttons next to impossible to use. MY EXPERIENCE THUS FAR: I just opened this up ~20minutes ago. I stuck the included rechargeable battery in was happily surprised to find that it was already charged. I immediately began setting the time/date, accidentally exited that menu prematurely & intuitively pressed the right buttons to get back in & resume setting the time/date. Then I proceeded to play around a little w/ the menu, scrolled randomly to the "Rec. Menu" & changed the anti-rustle level from off to low. The 3rd thing I did was press the record button. The radio (Philips DCM250 Table Stereo Clock) was playing (distance of 15-20ft away, moderate volume). I recorded 30 sec of talking (RadioLab, story featuring Oliver Sacks). I played it back. My low expectations of how it would sound on the built-in "speaker" were justified (it's tiny, but then again so is the whole recorder). I transferred it to my laptop & the playback was as expected (somewhat distant but distinguishable). So far so good. What you are paying for is a reliable recorder that is small & discreet as well as uses a normal, replaceable, non-proprietary AAA battery. You are paying for *small size*. Keep that in mind if you find the playback sound quality is low or the small buttons too difficult to use. If you want better replay quality, you can plug headphones in &/or transfer to computer attached to good speakers. If you have sausage fingers, try using a stylus. Haven't decided if it's a keeper as I have hopes of comparing it with other recorders (the cheap-o no-name made in China ones, Sony ICS-UX523, perhaps Olympus WS-823 which has a "zoom mic")
