Hi Jeff
I believe RNIB sell it, but there are probably other assistive technology
companies who could also supply and support it. You could try Computer
Room
Services, or Sight and Sound. As you say, it might also be possible to
get
it through Amazon, Play.com or just Google for it.
Good luck.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jeff
The only warning I would issue regarding RNIB recorders is the
12-minute one which, in our view, is really crap to put it bluntly.
It's plastic, doesn't really let a blind person know they are
recording when on the phone, for example, and is something more akin
to a cheap Christmas cracker. Sorry but I'm being brutally honest.
We got one just to have by the phone instead of running around looking
for one of our players if caught out, and we sent it back because it
was so awful. A big thumbs down from us for this one.
Can't remember the product code for it, but I think they are about
£18.50 each.
The DM5 is a nice machine and, if you want to eventually put music on
it or listen to a book, then it is a good choice. But, as others have
said, you can get something relatively cheap just for recording notes.
If you encounter difficulties with the Internet and faffing about with
websites, I would be willing to look for you and report off list if
that helps?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

There is also a memo facility on most mobile phones and indeed the
RNIB do
a variety of small recorders for simply quick messages, telephone
numbers or short reminders

Jeff, much as I like the DM5 type recorders, I would say it would be
a bit like overkill to use one just for short messages which you may
need to record in a hurry, at work.
I used to be a telephonist, and used a hand held tape machine for this.
Old technology I know, which may be ridiculed by some. But I still
have such a device, made by Olympus as it happens, which I still use
for phone
numbers, short messages etc. I think you could probably get
something like this from Argos, for example, for a much lower price
than the range of Olympus digital recorders.
Just my opinion of course, but you might consider it before paying
more than you need.
Cheers, Ted.

Hi Guys,
I have been looking for a simple, discrete, recorder for work.
often for things like phone numbers but also longer messages and
memos.
Would you recommend this?
In my former life, before losing my sight, I was a cameraman, and I
swear I had less equipment than now, losing sight makes life
complicated, but you do meet some really nice people.

Hi Ted, there's no difference in recording quality between a card
and internal memory, a card just gives you extra capacity. I
don't have a 550, but the DM5 will take up to a 32 gig SDHC. I
have a 32 gig class 10 in mine and it's fine with it.

John,
I have had a DM550 for a little while, so far have only used the
internal memory for recording. What would you say is the
advantage of an SD card? I'm guessing it would have greater
capacity, but how does it compare in terms of recording quality,
or ease of use, or anything else?
TIA, Ted.

Hi Brian, you can copy and paste. You don't need to use the
software to transfer. Just remember that if you've got a card
in the DM5 the card will come up in windows explorer as
removable disk and the internal memory will come up as dm5.
John.
