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
