WELL if you need a recorder with a lot of accessible features get the
pocket or the book port Plus.
As for the Olympus ls-100 it is the best recorder I have ever owned.
You can get a good recording on the Olympus with maximum gain for the class
room but you will have to activate one of the compression modes in manual
recording.
I recorded a meeting the other night with maximum gain and the compressor 1
setting which is good for speech and got a great recording.
The recorder defaults to the middle mic gain setting for the built-in mic. I
was able to set that to high with the compressor on.
As some one who records a lot What I like about the pocket is that you can
have multiple recording modes with different settings.
THe built-in mic on the pocket gives a really good recording.

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
