The slim style design is only one-half inch thick, with "record" and "pause" controls located on the side of the unit for easy operation. This tiny device fits neatly into a shirt pocket. Record grandma for an audio-genealogy or interview a famous celebrity -- whether you're recording for personal or professional reasons, you'll be extremely pleased. Customer Reviews Lightweight and easy to use.... The Sony ICD-SX25VTP - ($199.99 at Amazon.com and as low as $165.00 with other online merchants listed through Amazon.com) is light and compact digital voice recorder. After careful research, I decided to settle on this model because it comes with the Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred Voice-To-Print Software pre-packaged for a mere $20 than the Sony ICD-SX25 - $149.99.This software purchased separately is priced at $169 on Amazon.com. Otherwise the ICD-SX25VTP and ICD-SX25 are EXACTLY the same, it's just that one comes bundled with the VTP (Voice to Print) software. In addition, there are different types of Dragon Naturally Speaking software. They are the following: Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Standard - $83.99 listed on Amazon.com (not compatible with the Sony ICD-SX25VTP Digital Voice Recorder) Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Preferred - $169 Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Professional - $679.99 Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Medical - $969.99 Therefore, it would be less expensive to purchase the SX25VTP for and additional $20 to $40 for the software, than to purchase them for the total price of $318.99 when purchased separately. It is best to read the manually thoroughly before use. I say this because it took me at least three (3) hours to figure out how to "train" my voice for the voice recognition part. The use of the transcription services can only be used in the ST setting. You must speak slowly for the software to transcribe the words accurately. If you are giving dictation, you must input certain commands to format the document, unless you don't mind doing a significant amount of editing after the document as been transcribed. The volume playback is low. However, after reading the manual for both the recorder and the software, I am please with this purchase.
