Olympus Pearlcorder T1000 ***BASE UNIT ONLY***

 (4 customer reviews)

I have been an at-home medical transcriptionist for 14 years. I went through my first two machines fairly quickly, but this was my third machine and it has lasted me 8 years. It has just now started to die slowly (started to drag for a couple of weeks, now won't rewind) but is still working as long as I rewind the tapes by hand - with just enough time to order a new one. :) It's a very reliable machine - you'll love it!

After returning, not one, but two, Sony transcribers. I bought this one because someone else I knew used this one. I LOVE it. It has more features than my Sony and is just all over a sturdier piece of office equipment. It has made transcribing (almost) a pleasure!

I've been transcribing for over 25 years - I work a lot - go thru one of these every 12 to 18 months, but the sony has the WORST audio - lasts only about six weeks and the panasonics are sturdy, but quirky.

I won't even send a sony back to be refurbished, but these seem to come back in excellent shape.

This machine is overall, the BEST.

Most of my docs are going digital, but for the ones that won't - this is the best, in my opinion.

Thanks for the opportunity to recommend a good machine, and i also recommend Barclay as a refurbisher/vendor, if i may, on this space.

Thanks!
