Dictaphone
Choose a Dictaphone for the complete recording-to-document workflow
A dictaphone records spoken instructions; the next decision is how those instructions become a document. Start with the author’s controls, then check the secretary’s playback station, correction method and file handoff. The right package connects all of those steps.
The Martel Dictaphone Machine, SKU 1843-2, pairs a shared recorder with a dock, foot pedal and headset for no-PC playback. A person listens and types the document. If the author and secretary need separate recording and playback stations, compare the alternatives in our package and no-PC guides before choosing.
