Olusegun,
I don't have an LS100, so can't comment. I do, however, have a BookSense
and a Book Port Plus. The Book Port Plus has a much better recorder than
the BookSense. Also, quite a few folks, including myself, have had a
problem with the failure of the Lock Switch on the BookSense.
Unfortunately, it fails in the Locked Mode, making the unit useless until it
is sent in for repair.
The Book Port Plus doesn't have Bluetooth like the BookSense XT, but it does
receive Internet radio and podcasts; very nice! You can also build a DAISY
book with the recordings you make with the Book Port Plus, a book for all
class lectures in a particular subject, for example.

Subject: ADVICE NEEDED ON DIGITAL RECORDERS
Hello everyone:
Nearly 27 years after graduating from IU Bloomington, Indiana, I've now
decided to stick my hands in the gloves again and go back to college. For
purposes of being able to record class lectures from which I will write my
notes in Braille, I need a digital recorder.
I am turn between Olympus's LS100 and the Book Sense XT or DS. I listened
to a recording done with the LS100 and there was some really bad
distortion seeping through the recording. I've not listened to any
reviews of the Book Sense, but it costs about $100 more than the LS100.
I am not certain that all the menus on the Olympus LS100 talks; but I am
at least hoping that this will be the case with respect to the Book Sense.
For anyone who has had a chance to play with both products, what would be
your best advice for me with regard to choices and why? I think that help
with a few pros and cons will enable me ensure that I am purchasing a
recorder I can put to work for a long, long time. Much thanks in advance
for all help with this one!!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
