Review on Enhanced Philips LFH9399/00 Digital Voice Recorder 9399 with SpeechExec Transcription Starter Kit by Aaron Franklin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The voice recorder is the worst I have ever used

I have been using the voice recorder for 25 years. This voice recorder is very illogical and the worst I have ever used. The record button isn't on the slide and I keep thinking it's recording when it isn't (and vice versa). You press the same button to record and stop. Yes, if you keep looking at the screen and not thinking about what you're saying (who's doing that?), you can see if it's being transcoded. But most normal people don't dictate like that. The editing function is also terribly awkward, as is the rewind function. There's nothing worse than dictating something you think is brilliant, only to find yourself hitting the record button again so it actually pauses when you think you're dictating and records when you think you are was suspended. The only thing you record is your own breath. If you like that feeling, this is your car. Be with this recorder several times a day. Yes, I bought another one.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
