(More customer reviews)BEFORE you buy this, know this....If you are interested in the included Dragon NaturallySpeaking v10 R.E. voice to print software (this recorder model is more expensive because it includes this PC/Mac software) BE CAREFUL....I was interested in this capability, & was willing to pay the higher cost for it....But I emailed & called Nuance Company (maker of Digital Naturally Speaking v10 R.E. voice to print software) to ask about Mac compatibility before i made the purchase......they both referred me to Sony....apparently the R.E. means "Recorder Edition"....apparently this "D" model audio recorder has a Sony-modified version of the Nuance Dragon software....However, THIS VOICE to PRINT SOFTWARE IS NOT MAC COMPATIBLE (only for PCs)....the only aspect of the Recorder that IS Mac compatible, is the ability to connect the recorder to a Mac via USB, & be able to PLAY the MP3 audio files on your computer...Several places on the package it sez "PC/Mac compatible"...SO, if you want to have Mac software transcribe your audio text to a written script, YOU DON'T WANT THIS particular recorder...the Sony ICD-PX820 (about 1/2 the price of the "D" model) will work fine on your Mac, if all you need is to listen to your audio files.....you will have to purchase additional Mac software, if you want software to automatically transcribe audio files to text...BEWARE...this recorder creates MP3 audio files...if you want to transcribe your audio recordings to written script, make sure the software you purchase can process MP3 files....for example, the Nuance Mac-compatible scribing software, "MacSpeech Scribe", only transcribes MP4 files...this is from their website: "MacSpeech Scribe is versatile; it easily allows transcription from spoken-word audio recordings made on Mac, iPhone and digital recorders, and supports a variety of audio file formats, including .wav, .aif, .aiff, .m4v, .mp4, and .m4a......so JUST BE AWARE, BEFORE YOU BUY...!!
