Description
Description
Despite its beautiful design and ultra-compact dimensions of 96mm x 68mm x 16mm, this recorder can record and play back using its built-in microphone and speaker, as well as three 2-way jacks for external microphones, headsets, and other signal sources. It also features a 7-hour rechargeable battery, 128GB of internal storage, a 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface, and an automatic transcription function via an iOS app. This ultra-multifunctional, compact recorder is a breeze.
Intuitive Control: The product's size, button placement, and feel have been carefully considered. The TP-7 is an ultra-compact portable recorder that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. In addition to incorporating a playful touch into the cool industrial feel that's typical of teenage engineering, the design has also been carefully crafted with a focus on the product's usability. The design, size, and tactile feel of the buttons and rotary controls have been carefully considered to ensure that the unit is easy to operate when you pick it up.
Tape reel
At the heart of the TP-7 is the motorized tape reel. A delicately engineered brushed motor with ball bearings and a highly sensitive Hall sensor allows you to virtually grasp what you're recording. The reel also controls fast forward/rewind, pause, menu navigation, and visual feedback during playback and recording.
Side-Mounted RockerThe side-mounted rocker allows you to easily control fast forward and rewind of audio.
Press the top edge to fast forward, press the bottom edge to rewind.
You can hear the wheels spin and the tracks fast forward or rewind at hyper speed.
Free yourself from the hassle of transcription: Anyone who has had to transcribe audio while listening to it will understand how amazing this feature is. The TP-7's main feature is that it streamlines the process of converting audio to text. Simply connect your smartphone to the TP-7 via Bluetooth or USB, open the TP-7 app, and press "transcribe"! The application will recognize your voice and automatically transcribe it.
*Currently, only English is supported. Support for other languages such as Japanese is planned for updates.
Quickly Respond "Off the Record" Imagine an interview. The TP-7's reel spins slowly, the bright red record light is on, and the conversation is being recorded. While the interview is going smoothly, suddenly, someone asks a personal question or asks you to keep something off the record. With a gentle touch of your finger on the reel, the recording pauses, allowing you to continue the interview without interrupting the flow.
Eliminate stress from thought to action. When you suddenly decide to do something, you probably think about the process of what you need to do to achieve your goal. You create a sequence of actions and complete them in order. The TP-7 is designed to minimize the stress of your actions in a variety of situations. Let's compare it to recording on a commonly used smartphone.
