This tape recorder is perfect for recording class lectures or conducting field interviews for academic purposes. The only thing you have to watch is make sure you have it on the right tape speed. You have to use the higher quality speed if you want to hear anything in a classroom setting. If the speaker is close and you only want the lecture and none of the student comments or you are conducting an interview both speeds are fine. Overall a very fine purchase

Right size,right weight,exceptional mic pick-up.Playback clear and distinct.Good volume.Having not purchased such a device in many years,I overlooked not insuring an "auto-reverse" feature.Rewind also exceptionally "slow". Then again,for the price, not much argument to be made.
A Good Buy. August 23, 2007

This product is just what I'm looking for. Easy to use, recording and playback is excellent, and very reliable. I highly recommend this Olympus Microcassette Recorder.

I bought this recorder to use as I conducted interviews for my thesis. Overall it does a great job--the sound quality is pretty good and the microphone works well. I especially like the pause feature for when I am transcribing the tapes. My only complaint is that this pause feature is hard to use when typing because of the shape of the recorder--if I set it on its side it is wobbly and falls down when I use the pause switch, while if I set it on its back so it won't fall over the pause switch cannot easily be flipped. But considering the price and the otherwise good quality of the product, I would still recommend it.
