| I have been using this Panasonic RR-830 at least five times a week. It has been excellent for transcribing tapes for me. That is very important, since I will be making a living with it. |

| The transcriber was mailed and received in a timely manner and looks to be in good shape. It works fine, for as much as I've used it thus far. The only thing about this transcriber is that the port where you plug in the foot pedal was distorted. I'm just going to keep it attached and hope for the best with it. |

| This is a great transcriber! It seems durable and works well. I haven't had any problems with it except one time I turned off the VSC feature because the tape I had sounded funny, and then it was perfectly fine. The tape I had was old. I would encourage someone looking for a standard cassette transcriber to get this one because the price is right as well. |

| This transcriber works great for the price. I am learning to do medical transcription and I haven't used any other transcribers, but this one gets the job done. I don't anticipate getting a different one. |

| Purchasing from this person was a privilege. A NEW item half the price of the rest and it arrived quickly, as promised. It works as promised as well. |

| This is a cheap machine and not for someone who needs hours worth of transcribing. I used it for only a few weeks and it was okay, but the play function malfuntioned after it got a little warm. I had no foot pedal issues as other have described. Bottom line, I don't recommend it. |

| I am also a professional transcriptionist and work with this machine several hours a day. I like it -- it's a good machine for the price. I replace mine about every 3 years or so. I have used machines that are MUCH more expensive and they may have a few additonal features, but this little machine has all the features I really need. I have never had a problem with the foot pedal. The usual reason for replacing is that the longer tapes (90 min. tapes) are heavier and can cause too much drag on the spindles. If you have to use the heavier tapes, you should probably get a heavy duty machine, but it will come with a heavy duty price tag. |

 "good price, but not very durable" | 2006-05-27 |

I am a professional transcriber. I do not recommend this for anyone who transcribes on more than an occasional basis. Yes, the price is very good, and when I first bought one I was happy with it. But it broke down very quickly. I had to keep unscrewing and opening the bottom of the (very cheap) foot pedal because the pieces inside that were supposed to connect to cause the tape to move would come loose. Also you have to press play and THEN use the foot pedal in order for it to work.
It's a very basic machine. For the casual transcriber who may only use it on an occasional basis, it's a good deal. But anyone who uses it more than that, invest the money in a better machine. |

| As a psychology doctoral student I have to transcribe many therapy and interview tapes for various reasons. This machine has dramtically cut the amount of time needed to do that. I was hesitant to spend the money on a transcritption machine as they are not cheap, but I'm glad I did! It was money well spent and I'm having more time on my hands as a result. I highly recommend investing in one of these if you have to transcribe audiotapes. |
