Olympus Pearlcorder S713 Microcassette Recorder

Olympus Pearlcorder S713 microcassette recorder comes with voice activation so you’ll utilize it “hands-free” if desired. It also features fast play mode for playback that’s 25% faster and external jacks for headphones earphones and AC power.
Whether you’re recording a class lecture, an interview, or a grocery list, the Olympus Pearlcorder S713 performs the task with gusto. Though it is not as powerful or feature packed as Olympus’s line of digital voice recorders, the S713 microcassette recorder is outfitted with all of the basics, including voice activation, fast playback, and multiple tape speeds. As a result, the device is a great choice for people who want reliable voice recording without all of the extra bells and whistles.

The Pearlcorder S713 is compatible with standard 60- and 90-minute microcassettes, though it also offers a second speed that extends the total recording time to three hours (on a 90-minute tape). Meanwhile, the voice activation mode makes it easy to record at the same time as performing other tasks. When activated, the variable-regulate voice actuator waits until it hears a sound to start recording, and then shuts off all over a prolonged period of silence. For the time being, users can take notes or wield a camera without missing any footage or capturing a bunch of dead air.

Users will also dig the fast playback mode, which runs 25 percent faster than regular mode. It’s particularly helpful will have to you wish to have to speed up a slow talker or scan the recording for a specific passage. Along the same vein, the quick review function allows you to hear the footage you’ve just recorded. And, of course, the built-in tape counter helps you locate important audio anywhere else on the microcassette.

Other features include cue/review buttons for fast and easy message monitoring; a built-in microphone for recording anytime, anywhere; jacks for an external microphone, earphones, and an AC adapter; and a built-in dynamic speaker that produces crystal-clear playback. The Pearlcorder S713, which runs for roughly 17 hours on a pair of AA batteries, measures 2.3 by 4.8 by 1 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
