Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Here's the Sony "give and take" machine. The sleekly handsome M-2000 "takes" dictation, records meetings, interviews, even phone conversations, using convenient microcassettes in two speeds. Then it "gives" what's been recorded, playing it back for transcribing or just listening. The M-2000 has an automatic backspace that replays the last few seconds for transcribing confirmation, and variable playback speed for greater transcribing accuracy. Compact design needs little desk space. Foot control and listening device are included.

Features:

• Compact desktop design
• 3-position automatic backspace
• Conference recording with built-in microphone
• Remote microphone/telephone recording jack
• 2-speed operation
• Built-in speaker
• 2-function foot control
• Tape counter
• Speed control
• Tone and volume controls

Product Description

The sleek and compact design features a twofunction foot control, speed control, threeposition autobackspace and tone/volume control. A remote microphone/telephone recording jack and headset is included.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so great transcriber, August 1, 2007

By	E. J. Huffman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been transcribing with an Olympus for six years. I needed another machine, so I bought the Sony M-2000...not a great product for the money. Even if you have the volume turned all the way up to 10 (highest), you can't hear the person very well and there's a muffled quality, even with the tone on high. I can't believe the difference in the quality of sound between the two. I'm disappointed with the Sony, and I actually bought it because I thought Sony would be better! Ha!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sony 2000 Transcriber, February 6, 2007

By	Sherry - See all my reviews

Excellent service delivering this product as I received it the next day!

Two things I'm not happy with:

Every time the peddle is depressed there is a very loud clicking sound from the machine which is very annoying--sometimes having to backup again and relisten to what was being said.

The other one is...even with the volume turned up at its highest, if the person dictating does not talk directly into their recorder, then it can be very difficult hearing them. My old machine would pick it up much better when the volume was turned up and 95% of the time would be able to figure out what was being dictated.

I rated it a four as no problem if dictator talks into their recorder other than the clicking of the peddle.

5.0 out of 5 stars My girlfriend just loves it, January 3, 2007

By	Charles E. Denbow (Kingston, Jamaica) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this for my girlfriend for her birthday because she is completing her masters and needs it to transcribe interviews she's done for her thesis. She was previously using an older model and has fallen in love with this one, so far she is getting the job done twice as fast at a better quality
