This cassette recorder makes it easy for you to record meetings. lectures, and notes, then go back and quickly review specific segments of the tape. Voice-activation (VOX) mode records only when the pop-up microphone picks up sound. That way you don't end up with recorded silence during down times. During playback, you can use the counter to find desired information, or press the cue and review buttons to quickly scan. The tape speed can also be adjusted, allowing you to slow things down in order to make it easier to take notes or dictations.
