Digital camera reviews of Olympus TP-7 Telephone pick up Recording Device
Digital camera Review: Digital Recorder to Cell Phone Adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
Product as expected. Paid more for freight (50% of order total), than expected. Would not but from "1 to 3 Shop" again. Felt like I was cheated on the purchase.Digital camera Review: Disappointed, then surprised
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to accompany the Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder, hoping to record phone interviews with family members. I should have read the fine print, because I probably would have figured out what it was, and how it works. It does not plug directly into the phone (as I had somehow assumed), but rather it's an earbud with a tiny lav mic. So, you place the bud in your ear, and hold the phone up to that ear so it can record everything it picks up from the phone earpiece. This is not the most comfy way to have a phone conversation, but there is an upside... I had also wanted a lav mic, and now I realize I won't need to make another purchase for an additional accessory, as this will work fine (once I figure out how to attach it to a piece of clothing [it does not come with a clip]). Overall, it's not what I had expected, yet will still be useful to me.Digital camera Review: Does Exactly As Promised
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the TP-7 to used for recording phone calls as required by some new regulations in my business. When I started looking for solutions, I thought I would need a system that hooked into my phone system and was expensive. Then I came across this. It is so simple yet works great. You just plug it into your device ( I use it with the Olympus DS-40) and stick the other end into your ear. The earbud has a microphone on the opposite side that records the other person and it also records your own voice very well. The results are amazingly clear. I've used it without any problems with background noise or interferance. The thing that blows me away is that it is so simple. You can use this with any phone. I've used it with my land line and cell phone without any problems. This was the perfect solution for what I needed and I would highly recommend it.Digital camera Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This does not work as advertised. In addition to the fact that there are no instructions, the device will not record and actually impedes your ability to hear the phone call. Complete waste of money.Digital camera Review: Does the job and then some... And, it could do more.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to use with the Olympus DS series recorders, but it should work with most recorders that have inputs. It does come with adapters for mono, stereo, and mini-jack, and, of course you can buy additional adapters...
The phone recording works fine. Have confidence that it's working and remember to keep your own voice low to keep more of a balance in the recording. Sometimes, too, the playback on the computer turns out to be more balanced and better sounding than the sound on the device's own speaker.
And, as a bonus, you may want to use this mic for interviews rather than the tie-clip mic or the RS29. With the TP7 in your ear, it records people speaking next to you, or, across from you, very well.
Bottom line, if I only bought one accessory for recording with a DS recorder, this might be my first and only pick.
If it had a "pause" feature, I'd bump my review from four stars to six....
