Exceptional!.......2002-04-12
Died after about 9 months daily use.......2001-10-03
I really like it but it keeps breaking!.......2001-06-25
Great tool for life management!.......2001-06-23
As far as recording time is concerned, they might as well have done away with the 90 minute mode; it's obvious that you need those extra bits per voice unit. It sounds like a bad cell connection. I find that 30 minutes is ample time, and the sound quality is excellent.
One more thing--you don't have to spend 2 or 3 hundred bucks on one of those voice recognition recorders to get it to work with your PC voice recognition software. I got a jack from Radio Shack that lets me plug in the headphone out on the recorder to the mike in on my laptop and it works decently, I say decently. You'll still have to do quite a bit of editing. If there is a lot of background noise, though, you'll get mike errors.
All in all I would buy it again. It's a great value.
HIGHLY recommended and EASY to use.......2001-03-28
Without reading the manual, I was able to record messages, play them back, change clock setting, etc... So easy to operate that you can use it right away! As I read past reviews, they obviously need to read their manuals. They complained about the following (features they didn't know the V-90 had):
Some excellent features:
* "HOLD" button so you the recorder doesn't accidentally record, delete, or change messages
* While recording, you could press the "REC" button again for a pause or just use the voice activation feature
*While playback, press "PLAY" to pause and unpause message (very useful when used for dictation purposes)
The V-90 has 3 folders - two general and the "S" folder for scheduled messages. Good feature and not that hard to navigate if you have a brain. I use my recorder on a daily basis and delete messages very quickly to save space (not that I would use it all up anyway).
One overall complaint, if used in the LP-90 minute mode, voice is deep and hard to understand. Very easy to fix that problem, use the SP-33 minute mode. Excellent voice clarification. Even when used with voice activation, your messages don't get cut off.
Once again, I would HIGHLY recommend this product. The design and features are great for a basic user.
