Works for Me September 7, 2009 Mary Kate (Wisconsin, USA) This microcassette recorder does just what I need it to do - records my thoughts when I am not in a position to write them down immediately. For me, this most often translates to "when I'm driving". And if I'm going to be using it in the car, it has to be VERY simple so that operating it doesn't take my eyes or my mind off the road. The set up on this recorder really fits the bill for me. I never have to fumble around to find the record button; in fact, after using it in the house for half an hour the day I received it, I never even have to look. I just reach over, press, talk. Yay!
I use this recorder most often on my way to work to help me organize ideas for meetings, to remind myself of appointments I want to set up or phone calls I need to make. If I'm in the midst of a creative project at the office, I've also used the recorder to "talk out" specific wording for a brochure or ad. If it's a big project, I might even lay the recorder next to me in bed, in case I have a Really Good Idea just before I fall asleep. (Oh, come on! You know that's when the most marvelous concept or the perfect word or phrase comes to you!) :-)
To sum up: Easy to learn, simple to use; good price; recommended.
Disappointed June 29, 2009 Amazon Queen 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this item quite recently, and although the sound has never been what I'd call "perfect", I felt it was an adequate recorder for the price I paid. However, after using this device for only 2 short months, I played the tape back one day only to find that the sound was completely garbled and distorted. After trying 3 different sets of batteries, the sound remained the same. I contacted the company hoping they would be able to offer some help and advice, but all they did was suggest that I send the item to their facility for servicing. After shipping and handling, this would have cost me more than the price of the item itself. Needless to say, I am very disappointed that this recorder has lasted for only 2 months. Consequently, I am now forced to make another purchase--something I had no intentions of having to do. This time, however, I will be sure to obtain some kind of back up warranty or replacement plan along with my purchase. I do hope other people have better luck with this recorder!
simple to use June 21, 2009 Mary Kashani I wanted a recorder that is not complicated and does the job- this one does and I am happy with it.
Worth the price you pay May 11, 2009 C. Taylor I'm a journalism student, and my professor advised the class to purchase tape recorders for interviews. It has been PERFECT for interviews. The microphone is definitely loud enough, and it's compact, so I can put it in my purse for recording. I wish it had a few more features, but I only paid around $20. I definitely got what I paid for. Like I rated--4 stars.
Simple May 10, 2009 H. Michael Siesel (Missouri) If you're looking for an inexpensive recorder with basic control this will fit your needs.
