Summary The Olympus DM720 digital voice recorder is a capable device with three mics and the ability to record in MP3 or WAV format. However, it is not the most accessible recorder for blind or low vision users. The new Zoom Essential Series of recorders, such as the H1E, H4E, and H6E, are recommended for accessibility. The Olympus DM720 has a startup chime and a speaker that is not very good for playback but is useful for monitoring. The recorder has a menu that can be navigated using the buttons below the screen, and it provides beep feedback. Folders and files can be accessed, but the date and time of recordings are not announced. The recorder has a record button, a stop button, and the ability to pause and resume recordings. It also provides a long beep when running out of memory.Chapters
