Transcribe audiotapes in a jiffy with this Panasonic transcriber. The Panasonic RR series is designed for the small office/home office market. They are full-featured machines at very low prices. These units have built-in condenser mics and mic jacks for external mics.The RR-930 uses micro-cassette tapes and has two-speed taping function with variable (+/- 20%) tape speed control. Headset and foot pedal for remote review are included. Foot pedal has play, backspace, and rewind functions. 3-position backspace allows you to adjust how far it rewinds when you take your foot off of play: 0, 1 or 3 seconds. The RR-930 includes LED indicators for power, tape run, record and quick-erase, 3 digit tape counter and Volume and Tone controls. Silent full auto stop and auto backspace control add even more convenience to this unit. For the home transcriptionist, all you need is a telephone record adaptor and you're ready to rerecord.
Its advanced features and use of microcassettes make the Panasonic RR-930 transcriber/recorder a compact and useful business tool. The built-in condenser mic allows for easy recording, and the unit also has a foot-controlled backspace function and variable speed control. The three-digit counter allows you to keep your place, and the quick-erase, two-speed tape selector and full auto-stop functions add to the ease of use. The RR-930 comes in black with a headset and foot controller.
1 Works very well while it works.
I have worked with quite a few of these transcribers over the years and this would be my least favorite. It works well for a while, but then the rewind and fast forward goes out on the foot pedal and then goes out on the machine itself. Normally transcribers last longer than these seem to. A co-worker has gone through 4 of them in 2 years. We keep asking administration to switch to a different brand, but they say these are cheaper. You get what you pay for, I guess.
