It's the size of most other digital recorders. You could try to locate the 3300 manual on the net, there you'd find the exact size. > How many batteries, and what type does it require? 2 AAAs. > How many folders does it have, and how many messages per folder? The number of folders is settable by the dealer. Minimum is 1, maximum is 7. You can ask your dealer to set your desired number before you buy the recorder. If I remember correctly, one can record up to 199 messages per folder. > How many speeds, and how much capacity at highest quality speed? Speeds? Do you mean recording qualities? two. How many hours one can record in the highest quality depends on the capacity of the used XD Picture card. One minute of audio in the highest quality requires approximately 100 KByte, so you'd need six megabytes for one hour of audio. > To what extent are its menus accessible? They don't talk as they do on the DS-50, but they're totally accessible via the supplied DSS Player pro software on the PC. The Olympus DS-3300 has the index feature, known from other Olympus recorders. Index marks are settable and eraseable while and after recording messages. The machine records in the DSS format, which doesn't sound as good as WMA. This machine was built, so that one can edit messages as well as possible. Quite a few parameters are settable by the dealer, number of folders, amount of beep tones, function of the programmable button etc. If you buy the 3300, you should find a dealer, who knows about these settings and can configure the recorder, so that a blind person can use it as well as possible. <*** Michael Lang ***> Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
