Overview

Crisp and clear voice recordings in all situations



The Olympus WS-853 digital recorder is a high-end device that can record both soft and loud voices at meetings and seminars at a consistent volume. It features a noise-cancelling stereo microphone to record all speakers, and an intelligent mode that automatically adjusts the recording volume so you don't miss a word! Accessible to beginners as well as the more experienced, this dictation machine offers a clear and precise recording quality. Its 8 GB, retractable USB port, integrated rear stand and long battery life make it a practical, efficient and fast recording tool.


Intelligent and powerful


Low-noise directional stereo microphones are positioned at 90° and add a sensational stereo effect, so you can hear every detail of your meeting. Regardless of the speaker's position or direction of speech, all information is captured with impeccable clarity.

To make listening to your recordings easier, the intelligent auto mode automatically adjusts the recording level to the sound source. The recorder reduces the input level when someone is speaking very loudly and increases it for soft voices, so that it always provides an even volume.


Simple and ergonomic


With two different display modes, you can use your voice recorder even if you are a beginner. The simple mode displays only the essential information in a large font, and limits the menu options to the most commonly used functions. For advanced users, the normal mode allows access to all features.

Save your data easily and conveniently with the built-in USB connector. Simply insert it into your PC or Mac to transfer your recordings from the device to an external hard drive. You can also use it as a USB flash drive to share documents. The WS-853's USB connector also has a battery charging function to make your daily life even easier.

    good sound quality

    the sound is clear and precise, simple to use, but with a lot of choice for the recording modes, long battery life, the device looks solid, with a pouch, there may be cheaper, for me it is a very good dictaphone
