Dictaphone

[Farneyman]

Following on from my purchase of Dragon Dictate ( http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/showthread.php?79592-Voice-recognition-software ) I am looking at using a dictaphone to record notes and then transfer to the laptop to save.

Anyone regular users of a dictaphone here that could point me in the right direction.

Found this one...

and its seems ok for what I want but any techie heads here know of any better value for about the £50 mark?

I always found the ones from Olympus to be very good...

I second the Olypmus models, particularly this one

I have used it many times, still do and find it flawless. Just wish I had bought it at these prices instead of over £150 when it first came out.

Can't believe how good the Dragon product is. Finally settled on Dragon 13 Premium.

Was able to get a significant discount too. Had a play around on a typing speed site...

I came out at 37 words a minute lol so about 400 per 10 minutes.

On Dragon I dictated a piece for 10 minutes, as a voice recognition training section, and when I transcribed it it had over 1300 words completed. While I understand it will never be 100% and may take some time to get familiar with all the voice commands I can see how this will save me hours of work in front of a keyboard which can only be a bonus.

Great value for money.
