Don't buy it for the translation capabilities May 4, 2008

As a digital voice recorder, this works fine. With respect to its touted ability to transcribe recorded voices into text, give this one a wide berth.

As others have mentioned, the software is incredibly complex and the documentation is flimsy at best. After an exceedingly frustrating (and lengthy) attempt to train the PC software, the results were abysmal. It actually wasn't too bad with my voice but my wife (who was the one who actually trained the software) saw horrid results.

That didn't make any sense to me - she trains it, yet it translates my voice far better than hers! What was clear is that her original intention - to translate a roundtable discussion with various participants into text so that would reduce (not eliminate - we're not that naive) the amount of note taking - was wishful thinking.

For the price, the voice recorder is fine - the software is terrible.

This is a great product for recording notes and has many useful features. It is light and easy to use. I like the option of having a built-in zoom microphone.

I also have the Olympus equivalent which is more expensive but has benefits such as built-in USB connector (ie no need to carry a cable) and also stereo recording and MP3 playback. Another benefit of the Olympus is that the file format of the recordings are compatible with my PC whereas the Panasonic files require conversion using the software supplied with the unit. The Olympus does not have a built-in zoom mic. and requires only one AAA batery compared with two for the Panasonic.
