Hi, the dm620 will be a good one, she can ignore any settings she don't no, as the defaults is quite good for a non technical person. Just be sure to back up the speech files in case the recorder need to be formatted in the future. That being said, if she don't no a pc well enough to transfer files, maybe she still need something even more simple, such as the older recorders with only a rewind, forward, and play/stop. But then not all of those got USB? If she don't no windows well, I suggest dolphin guide from dolphin, wich provide a simplified interface for many computer tasks, including file transfers. The Olympus models should be compatible with guide as wel. Download a demo for testing if you wish, let me no if you need a link.
