Customer Reviews

works great
This is just what I have been looking for to record stories of older relatives to transcribe. It is a perfect size, not too small and easy for me to run, having arthritis in my hands, the buttons are comfortable to use. Great product.

You won't get it from Pepsistuff!
Order this on 8/5/08 through Pepsistuff.com & was told it was backordered. Was supposed to be a delivery date of Yesterday-9/15/08. Got an email today, won't be delivered until 11/21/08.....yet it still shows it's available and IN STOCK to order. Don't fall for it! I'm still trying to find out how to cancel it and get the pepsistuff points back into my account.

Great Little Recorder
The Olympus Microcassette Recorder S711 is the perfect utensil for corporate meetings, fun stuff, and stuff you know you want to remember. At first, when searching I'd looked towards Sony for their microcassette recorders. Sony is also tiny, well made, and worth the price compared to the Olympus. But I wanted to test the Olympus out.
Pros
-Large, easy to use buttons. Looks SHARP in solid blue!
-Allows 2 type of speeds. A 60 minute tape becomes a 120, etc.
-From a name brand that you trust
-Cheap, but accurate
-3 tapes with 90 mins. can hold more than some digital recorders which top $50

Cons
-No tape counter

Overall, I rate the Olympus 4 stars. It isn't too big or small, and it is accurate. It allows you to record with microcassette tapes, and has been proven much better than a digital voice recorder. I'm glad that I own it, and I would like you to have it too.
