I record minutes for a meeting of physicians. This TRANSCRIPTION UNIT SUCKS. This transcription unit is relatively new, and As I rewound the microcassette to review, the tape is barely moving.Also, the volume is never high even after turning it to highest level of 10. Thank goodness, I have a back-up with another small recording device combined with notes of minutes. Now, I must ask for approval of another transcriber unit - I'll try the Olympus.

This transcriber gets the job done, but if you do a HEAVY amount of transcribing, then spend more money and get something better. Even with the volume turned to 10, I still have difficulty hearing. Just the noise from my keyboard alone when I'm typing makes it even more difficult to hear. If you work somewhere with a LOT of background noise (phones ringing, co-workers talking, office machines buzzing away), this machine will be VERY frustrating.
So, I now have to use my Bose earbuds to do my work. Unfortunately, the office needed to replace the prior transcription machine and this is the unit that was bought. No matter what we tried, even with the volume up to 10, you just cannot hear. Not really fair for the money spent on the unit. Look elsewhere.
Also, when the foot pedal is activated, there is a loud clicking noise that sometimes overrides what one is trying to transcribe. Sony M-2000 Microcassette Transcriber/RecorderI purchased this Transcriber after using a 3M-Harris Transcriber for over 20 years. I have tried numerous headsets in an attempt to get better sound quality and, so far, the best is the headset that came with my Sony Walkman (Model SRF-M86V). The Volume is a definite problem. Even with the volume turned all the way up, voices are muffled and very hard to hear. However, the sound volume and quality are not perfected with this headset -- but much better than with the headsets I have used that are designed to be used with transcribers. I WILL be shopping for another transcriber -- and will write this one off.
Product is great and works wonderfully. It was also delivered in a timeley manner. It was a great experience purchasing this product. Thank you for setting high standards for all the other sellers on Amazon.
