ANALOGUE DICTATION

Philips PocketMemo 388

The PocketMemo 388 is a portable Mini-Cassette recorder for spoken notes and dictation. It suits an established analogue workflow where recordings are handed over on tape for transcription.

Familiar controls for daily dictation

Use the REC button with the four-position slide switch to record, pause, review and move through a tape. Automatic gain control helps manage recording levels, while voice-activated recording offers a convenient option for capturing speech. Fast winding helps you move through recorded material.

Review and hand over recordings

Listen through the recorder or connect suitable headphones. Recorded Mini-Cassettes can be played in a compatible transcription machine, including the Philips 720T. Separate microphone and headphone sockets provide accessory connections for your setup.

Portable and straightforward

The recorder runs on two AA batteries and includes a wrist strap. A record/battery indicator and audible end-of-tape warning help you monitor operation. The transport lock helps prevent accidental operation when carrying it.

Choose the right tape

Use compatible Mini-Cassette media such as Philips LFH0005 tapes. VoiceX lists a two-year warranty with this recorder. Contact VoiceX if you need help matching tapes, accessories or a transcription machine.
