The Best Of The Budget Digital Voice Recorders

Often overlooked are the budget voice recorders from the giants of the digital voice world, Olympus and Philips. This dis-service to the cheap recorders I have decided to address by giving them their own blog post. Over at our main blog I take a quick look at the bottom of the range digital voice recorders from Olympus and Philips;

From Philips the LFH0612 & LFH0632

From Olympus the VN-8500PC & VN-8600PC

Although all are bottom dwellers they are all still very good a recording digital audio. Cheap from Olympus and Philips does not mean nasty, it simply means a lack of features. But for the basic voice recording user an over abundance of features may not be required. The four recorders retail in Australia from $99 to $129, record in mp3 or wma and come with 1Gb or 2Gb of memory depending on the model.
