Olympus VN 5500 digital voice recorder, undable to just rewind a little bit and replay to transcribe notes, it always go to the very beginning of the recording when I press rewind

Probably a bit late but I got my Olympus VN-960PC Digital Voice Recorder to work on my MacBook Pro running Win7 with Bootcamp by using this site and DL's from there....

Good Luck to those who find this!!

Hi p_cullingfor,

i am afraid that is not possible. the best solution is to hold the voice recorder near the microphone of the phone and record.

i hope this helps, good luck!

Yes you got a new computer but unfortunately the vn-2100PC is not compatible with 64 bit OS's neither XP 64bit or Vista 64 bit...therefore it will also not work with 7 64bit.
Feel free to verify by checking at www.olympusamerica.com

You should use the computer with Digital Voice Editor software to have more options when trabscribing. You could then use the transcribing keys to playback your recordings and regulate the velocity of the playback.
Download Digital Voice Editor Version 3.1.03 for Windows Vista/XP/2000.
64 bit version operating systems are not supported, though

by just pressing the rewind button, it goes to beginning. by press and holding down the rewind button, it will start rewinding slowly and get faster the longer it is being held down.

Hi
Driver related problems can be easily solved on this page: Driver Update Software for XP Vista 7 8 enjoy

Purchased an Olympus VN-4100PV digital voice recorder a couple of months ago at Radioshack. (no software came with it)
Recently purchased new PC with Vista 64-bit. Recorder will not work. Called Olympus today, 12-3-08 and was told no driver is going to be issued to remedy this situation, thus rendering my device useless.
Thanks for nothing Olympus product support.

the file from the recorder is in a 4 or 8 bit format... use sound recorder to convert to 16 bit format

Digital Wave Player (2.0):

Do not have recorder connected until all software installed and then reboot computer. Once computer rebooted then connect the recorder.
