Customer Reviews

Great recorder

Outstanding value with the included Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 software!
Very clear playback sounds. Those who complain about its recording quality should definitely compare it with other portable voice recorders (i.e. Olympus), or they simply don't know how to properly operate this advanced product.

Perfect Instrument
This is a perfect device, hard working and no complaint. Very easy to use and well made as all Sony products. Batteries life is extra long and sound playback is the best you can get. Well done once again.

Mixed bag
Just for reference: I'm no expert and this is only my second experience with digital recorders.

I have mixed feelings about the Sony ICDSX46VTP. I've been testing it out for a couple of weeks.

The folders, recording, controls and software are all very good. But, I have these issues with this unit:

The reviews about it picking up your touch thru the mic are not exaggerated. I was surprised (shouldn't have been) by this major disapointment. It would probably be impossible to capture an interview with any quality while holding this unit.

The display is too dark to control it very well in dim situations.

If I had to do it again, I'd try a different product.
