Digital camera reviews of Olympus TP-7 Telephone pick up Recording Device
Digital camera Review: As Good As Your Word
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm using this device with the Olympus WS-210S.
The good: The plug and earbud are well made given the price. I recorded about 10 telephone conversations so far, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. I understand every word and the voiceprint is recognizable if you needed it for evidence. Cheaper than the Internet services I surveyed as this is a one time fee.
The bad: Man, I hate ear buds. I like to switch the phone to the other ear during phone calls, and you obviously can not in order for this to work. I've missed my earhole several times now, but it still recorded just fine. The wire appears flimsy and so I'm NOT going to wind it up for storage. Confirmation on other reports that it will record your own voice louder that the caller. Don't care.
Digital camera Review: Audio pickup of voice on other end of call is poor.
Summary: 2 Stars
I installed it as directed. When I played it back, my voice came out fine, but the voice on the other end was faint, and barely audible.
The only saving grace was that I was able to return it without any issue. Feel free to test it out if you'd like; you can always return it if dissatisfied.
As an alternative, I suggest using a landline with 2 phones - have your conversation on one, and leave the other one on speakerphone+mute in a separate room, and record the speakerphone set phone with a regular tape recorder.
Digital camera Review: Audio, excellent; but wire lifetime, 3 months at most
Summary: 1 Stars
There is no question that the audio part of this device works well; but what use is it if the wire would not last more than 3 months. The wire protection is of rubber material which softens after several days. After 2 moinths you will see ruptures in some parts of the wire.Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the other reviews with high hopes that this product was the simple solution I have searched for. I do research for a living and I'm often traveling when interviews need to be conducted. Needless to say, I have often had great difficulty with recording, but this solves the problem simply and beautifully. Even better, it is so reasonably priced. Bravo to Olympus for making this available.Digital camera Review: Awesome telephone recording device
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this along with my Olympus VN-4100 digital voice recorder to record a phone interview. This device plugs right into the recorder and the earpiece slips securely into your ear. I ended up with a clear recorded phone conversation.
