    Olympus DM1 £199.99 (Note that we supply dictation machines free in some cases - please ask)
    The Olympus DM1 is designed to record dictation, meetings and conferences in the high-quality DSS format. If you are making a series of recordings without access to a PC in between each one, this model is ideal, because it accepts removable memory cards, therefore you can record one interview per card, just as you might do with audio cassettes.  Later the recordings can easily be download from the cards to a PC for editing or sending via the Internet for transcription.

This model also plays MP3 files, so that you can listen to music while relaxing.
