What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Olympus DM-720 is a pocket-sized digital voice recorder with a three-microphone stereo system, automatic sensitivity adjustment, and text file playback — making it useful both as a general recorder and as a reading tool for people with low vision or print disabilities. It's particularly relevant for blind or low vision users because the vendor (LSS Products, a blindness-focused AT retailer) carries it specifically for its accessible interface and audio file management capabilities. You get the recorder as a complete, self-contained device powered by a single AAA battery, with USB connectivity for transferring files to a computer. This is an older model and may be harder to find with current warranty support; also, some menu navigation still benefits from sighted setup assistance the first time.
