## Description

OM System WS-883 Digital Voice Recorder, Linear PCM/MP3 Recording Formats, USB Direct, 8gb Playback speed and volume adjust, File Index, Erase selected files

Review: Tiny and Tough - I got this for my 96 year old mother as my Tascam and my brother’s Zoom were too difficult for her to operate. It’s perfect for her. Preset for room recording and simple menu (not lecture hall) and she can operate it with one switch and two buttons. More than that and she gets a bit lost. It comes with 8gb internal memory, but I put a 32gb card in so she doesn’t have to think about it. I love the charging circuit for NiMh batteries and the maligned usb-a connector is great in my book. Do I wish all recording was LPCM and at a higher stereo sampling rate? Yes. Is my mother able to use it without fighting with the control software? YES. Could it replace my Tascam field recorder. No. Is it tiny and tough? Yes. If you don’t need higher sampling fidelity (or XLR connections or phantom power, etc.) this is an impressive little device.
Review: Perfect digital recorder - Olympus quality. Sharp & clear sound. I've only used Olympus since I started court reporting 23 years ago. Always trusty & reliable. Very affordable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect digital recorder
*by K***Y on December 21, 2025*

Olympus quality. Sharp & clear sound. I've only used Olympus since I started court reporting 23 years ago. Always trusty & reliable. Very affordable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This has a very nice sound in playing back your recordings
*by Y***D on May 4, 2024*

This little device is killer! Exceptionally AMAZING! Its recordings - SUPERB! 😃 Has noise reduction. Hasn’t a warranty - so you might want to add one through Amazon if you feel the need to. I’ve owned 2 in the past - before this one - & mine lasted for quite awhile! Records my original music sessions beautifully. Writing songs - a great tool there too - just a totally great & easy to use addition! It’s manufacturer - Olympus - has a microphone that might be sold on Amazon too if you need one. Olympus has various websites dealing with camera equipment, medical, etc. - pretty diversified. I love this little recorder! It’s dimensions: 4 6/16ths L x 1 1/2” W x 3/4 “ D (thickness) Enjoy! 😊👍 In Jesus Name …
