Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Pearlcorder J300 microcassette recorder is compact, stylish, and loaded with features. And it's smaller and more ergonomic than any other Olympus microcassette product, meaning it's easy to carry around. An actuator begins recording at the sound of a voice and stops when the voice does. Fast-play mode lets you listen 25 percent faster than normal speed. And the dual tape-speed function can record three hours of voice on one 90-minute microcassette tape. Also included is a tape counter for easy location of previously recorded passages.

Product Description

Perfectly-sized for your hand, pocket, or to be placed on a desk, the J300 features voice activation, fast play mode so you can listen to the audio 25% faster, and a dual tape speed function enabling you to get up to 3 hours of audio on a 90-minute microcassette.

1.0 out of 5 stars Olympus J300 Microcassette Recorder, November 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Olympus J300 Microcassette Recorder (Office Product)

I have bought this recorder 2 days ago. I have used it only twice and for some unknown reasons it does not work any more.
I have paid [quite a lot]. Thus, if you do not want to have trouble do not buy it ! Add few euros and buy yourself something better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk, December 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Olympus J300 Microcassette Recorder (Office Product)

I have had this recorder for a couple years and have sent it back 5 times because it just decides to not work. Customer service is horrible and the new recorders they send me are just as bad and stop working (without explanation) again. A waste of time and money.
