was to be a gift for a friend who had a stroke - recorded a motivational speech for her to listen to - turned out the buttons were not all marked well for her husband to turn on

he is dyslexic and has trouble reading and certainly can't figure out how to use if the words aren't there

It works fine, as expected. I bought it because I was trying to take notes at a meeting and the original tape recorder was broken. The problem was when I went to use it to record some meeting minutes, when it reached the end of the tape there was no signal. I hope I did not miss any minutes. Works well for playback.

      Bad recording to transcribe from. Too much background noise on tape when there is no background noise while voice recording.

        Comments about RCA RP3528 Microcassette Voice Recorder:

        The recorder was used for a meeting, I ran out quickly to get a good recorder but I was not aware that this one would not be able to transfer my recordings to my PC. it would have been nice if i could just insert a disc from the recorder into my computer and copy what was recorded, then I could make copies instantly. Using a cassette is outdated.

        This product is quite reliable. However, the speaker is not loud enough for playback situations. Put an amp in it!

        Cheaply made and malfunctioned after light use (lost audio playback capability). Does not fit well in the hand. Very disappointed in the poor reliability/quality for the price.

            • CUSTOMER CARE

              A:

              This recorder does not notify you with the battery level. There are 60 minutes on a microcassette and it will click when your tape has finished. You may be interested in a digital recorder, most of them do show you the battery life, without the cost of the cassettes. For example: http://www.staples.com/Sony-ICDBX112-Digital-Voice-Recorder/product-nr_926325

              This digital recorder is also very simple to transfer recordings onto a computer. For assistance finding a product that would suit your needs, please contact customer service at (800) 333-3330.
