The Olympus S713 Pearlcorder Microcassette Recorder comes with voice activation so you can utilize it "hands-free" recording if desired. It also features fast play mode for playback that is 25-percent faster, and external jacks for headphones, earphones, and AC power.
The built-in microphone is discreet, but powerful, and clearly records important information from meetings, conferences, interviews, and other encounters where you want to make sure you did not miss a beat. For speedy reminders of what was just recorded, the S713 allows you to listen efficiently with a playback option that is 25-percent faster than real time. With the voice activation, the device will sense sound and start/stop recording automatically, so you'll never waste valuable tape on dead air. And with the tape counter, you can easily cue/review important recordings quickly with the slide-switch button.
What's in the Box
S713 microcassette recorder, instruction manual, two AA batteries, and three XB60 microcassettes.

I bought this unit for taking notes that would be transcribed later, replacing an ancient branded Radio Shack microcassette recorder that has problems with Cue/Review functions but works fine otherwise. After I received the "Pearlcorder," I installed fresh Duracell batteries and tried it out. I found the it recorded easily but the playback was faster than the recording making the speech rapid and higher pitched. Basically I sounded like a well known mouse or helium addict. The faster playback makes typing the notes difficult. To be sure it was a playback and not a record issue, I took tape to the Radio Shack recorder where it played back at normal speed. Further, recordings from the Radio Shack recorder also played back faster on the "Pearlcorder." Perhaps this is a "feature" but I could find no place to disable it. Also the review feature was way too fast and made finding a previous section almost impossible. While it was easy to use, it didn't work like I expected.

The workers in my office are really used to this machine, so its the only kind I buy.I really like that you can turn off the feature that only plays when you talk, because when that was used it cut off words.This one also has a battery indicator light which is real nice.
