Works well, but dies quickly
[ Posted: 2005-03-16 ]
I have used the Olympus Pearlcorder T1000 for the past five years in my current position. It is easy to use with no problems or inconveniences (except perhaps the earpiece being uncomfortable and losing the little padded covers easily). The very unfortunate and serious problem with this transcriber is that is simply does not last. I would estimate that I use it for approximately five hours per week, and yet I have already gone through two of them. I am now looking to replace this one again since the fastest speed is barely understandable because it is dragging so badly. I would not be able to recommend this machine, and am now trying to find reviews on other possible replacements.
