Olympus Digital Voice Recorder DM4 (8GB)

Ever since Olympus invented the microcassette recorder back in 1969, it has strived to make audio recording easy and accessible to everyone. Olympus was also quick to recognize the potential benefits of portable recording to people with impaired vision, dyslexia, or other conditions that make printed material difficult or impossible to read, and has proactively worked to develop products that meet their needs. Today, a new generation of Olympus-developed digital voice recorders has been recognized for its usability and accessibility by both the Royal National Institute of Blind People in the U.K., and the National Federation of the Blind in the U.S.

Olympus DM-4 and DM-5 digital voice recorders were introduced in July 2010. Equipped with DAISY audio book support and a text-to-speech Voice Guidance system that can even read out .txt files, they set a new standard in usability and accessibility for blind and dyslexic users.

The DAISY standard is an international standard for digital talking books. It is administered by the DAISY Consortium and was developed to enable people with "print disabilities" such as impaired vision, blindness, or dyslexia to listen to and navigate written material with greater ease. Olympus Imaging Corp. is a member of the Friends of the DAISY Consortium.
