 Sony ICD-SX57 May 3, 2008

I like this recorder a lot and use it constantly.
I think it could be improved if it were just a bit bigger in size so that the buttons could be spaced further apart, but you do get used to it as it is and it is fine.
The soft travel case is not so good. After a few weeks of use it falls off and becomes inconvenient. Also, there is a place for a hand strap on the recorder, but it does not come with one.
Interfacing with Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred software is another story. The recorder is OK, interfacing with the software is a bit challenging.

This Sony DVR is just what I needed TO record MY guitar lesson live.I just clicked on the record button, placed it on my teachers music stand in front of us and shut it off 35 minutes later. When I got home I hooked it up to my computer speakers and was awed by how great the recording was.I also made a CD copy to practice with. I want to take it to a play or consert and see if its as good. For now I am very happy with this product.
 Soney ICD-SX57 Digital Voice Recorder MINUS Dragon Software January 14, 2008

The recorder works well although noise is a little bit of a problem.
The main draw back is that it came without the Dragon software!
This was misleading in the advertizement and product discription.
On the product package itself it claims compatability with the Dragon software but says its not included and doesn't indicate which version of software it is compatible with.
When serveying to buy this product I was mislead trying to compare products and prices. Some included the Dragon S/W and the other ones that did not include the S/W generally did NOT indicate it, so I was mis-led for price comparisons.

I am a journalist and use the device for recording interviews. The weakness of this device is the Sony proprietary file format.If they would only record in MP3 format you could download, file and play from your computer. Instead I back up on the computer, erase and if later I want to refer back I have to reinstall onto the device to play. It sucks, what were they thinking.

I want to recommend the Sony ICD-SX57 to anyone who needs a small high quality voice recorder. The recording ability is excellent, size and shape are perfect and High Quality Stereo recording time is four hours. There is one issue to be aware of. The unit comes with non-rechargable batteries but is set to "CHARGE" batteries when connected to USB, as a default setting. This will probably cause the batteries to melt and ruin the unit as another reviewer discovered. Navigate the menu and change the USB to "NOT CHARGE" if you are using non-rechargable batteries, before connecting to a USB port. As a voice recorder the Sony ICD-SX57 far exceeded my expatations.
