Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With the Olympus Pearlcorder S831 Microcassette Recorder business users can enjoy an easy to use recorder that fits snugly in a pocket, briefcase, or bag. Featuring a convenient slide-switch for quick and simple operation, index marking to recall important audio passages, and voice activation, the S831 is an excellent recording choice for the busy professional.

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 S831 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 special indexing, you can access important recordings quickly with the click of a button. This recorder features a quiet, tape-end alarm that gives you heads-up to change or turn over the microcassette.

The handy, single slide-switch control makes it easy to play, stop, listen, and review recordings. The built-in microphone has conference or dictation sensitivity for use in almost any professional environment. There are two selectable recording speeds -- the faster speed makes clearer recordings for reproduction, while the slower speed is perfect for voice memos and audio note taking. This recorder also features an auto shut-off to conserve battery power, a tape counter, and jacks that provide connection for earphone, microphone, and external power.

What's in the Box
S831 micro cassette recorder, instruction manual, carrying case, two AA batteries, and XD60 micro cassette tape.

Excellent product. I'm an attorney and it is the best hand-held dictating machine I've ever used.
