"Anti-Rustle" filter reduces surface friction while recording in your pocket
Olympus’ unique “Anti-Rustle” filter technology identifies the difference between voice and rustling sound by its characteristics, and effectively suppresses the noise only. This removes the rustling noise generated when operating the recorder from in your pocket, to achieve a low-noise, clear sound. |
Compatible with various recording formats - MP3 / WMA / PCM WAV
Select from three recording formats: the high-quality unsuppressed Linear PCM format (22.05kHz); the versatile MP3 format, which is used by both Windows and Mac users; or WMA format, which has good sound quality even at a lower bit rate. |
Create meeting minutes efficiently with "Transcription" mode
"Transcription" mode is convenient when you want to create minutes from your meeting recordings. While transcribing, it is necessary to frequently repeat play and stop to check the content. As such, when resuming playback, the recorder will automatically playback from 3 seconds before playback was stopped, so that you can easily review the content you need. The fast forward function is set to a preset 2.0x speed so that you can conveniently skip the silences in your recording. Furthermore, the Voice Balancer helps to normalise audio level when recording speakers with different volume levels in a meeting.
Direct USB connection without a cable - Mac or Windows
The body of the VP-10 includes a built-in USB connector to let you connect directly to a computer merely by removing the cover. Not only can you easily save and share your recordings via your computer without the need for cable or software, you can also recharge the unit from the PC without having to remove the batteries from the device. The recorder can also be used as a USB memory device.
Five recording scene modes, including "Pocket" mode
At a simple selection from the menu, you can choose optimum recording settings according to specific scenes. Pocket mode is effective for recording a wide range of voices when the device is in your pocket. With Dictation, Conference, Meeting or DNS modes, you can easily capture fail-proof, high-quality recordings.
Compatible with standard AAA batteries - Come with rechargeable batteries
The recorder is compatible with standard AAA batteries. Not only can you use the rechargeable batteries bundled with the recorder, you can also replace them with alkaline batteries, so you never have to worry about running out of power when out and about.
