Olympus S711BLUE Microcassette Voice Recorder

A Handy Little Recorder

For those who don't want to invest in an expensive digital recorder the Olympus Microcassette recorder is perfect for interviews and taking voice notes. The volume control allows for sensitive sound pick-up and the dual speeds allow for either longer recording or higher sound quality. Use the voice activation feature for automatic recording. Although the sound quality is hardly perfect it is adequate for most uses. Because of its small size it fits easily into a average-size purse or small backpack pocket.



This little unit can be operated with minimal effort - practically straight from the plastic pack. It comes with one microcassette and the necessary batteries. Highly recommended for people who don't mind the older technology or for those on a budget.More detail ...

Sony M-470 Microcassette Voice Recorder

Clear as a bell?

This is a very handy device to keep with you. It is compact and easy to work with. I recorded a television show and when I played it the sound was very clear! Even with all things in the back ground didn't get any interference. I just carry it with me in a pocket or purse. Only thing is I need longer tape (90 minutes) for school lectures. But they can be found just about anywhere. You will like it especially if you are new to micro cassette tape recorders. Great price too!More detail ...

Ion Audio USB Portable Tape-to-MP3 Player

Great idea flimsy construction excellent software

Starting with caveats first:



1) The cassette door's hinge is on the short side. Laws of physics would tell you - it's easier to break it. Handle with extra care.

2) The player has no speakers.

3) The battery compartment opening is inside the unit (which is very unusual). It is difficult to open since the main door doesn't open too much to leave space for you to pull the battery door. So if you have a big hand you may crack the main door's hinge. Again be very careful.

4) The output power is less than usual. It doesn't play loud at all. This would make sense when you're transferring tape to computer (high volume = distortion) but it may not be so good for typical listening.



The good:

1) This unit could be USB powered. Wow!

2) The unit has USB output to computer for audio capturing.

3) The software included support both Windows and MacOSX



Tip:

Due to the low power output the audio capture must be amplified. One easy tool is Audacity. Typically you need to amplify it to N minus 2 decibel (e.g. if Audacity's amplify option suggests 11db you enter 9; if it suggests 6 you enter 4) then choose bass boost option (use Audacity's default). 95% of the time the results would be very loud playback capability with great mid-bass and bass without distortion.More detail ...
