20 Most Recent Dictaphone 1740 Desktop Cassette Transcriber / Recorder Questions & Answers

Is there a pretty girl anywhere nearby?

I have a headset looks new to me that I can sell to you. Bought a whole package only to find that it uses mini not micro cassettes.

This unit takes mini cassettes, not micro. A common issue with the playback on this model is the rubber tire on the drive reel cracks, causing it not to turn. It probably needs to be replaced.

It won't eject? Unit needs service. Cost, probably 65.00.

Hi,
Does the tape move when you press rewind or fast forward.
If the tape moves for a few seconds then bleeps it sound like a sensor problem.
If it only bleeps when the rewind and fast forward are pressed and the play is ok it sounds like the actuator motor is faulty,this motor enables the rewind and fast forward.
Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to hear that your Dictaphone 1243 is experiencing difficulties with recording sound. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue: 1. Check the microphone: Ensure that the microphone is not obstructed or damaged. Clean any debris or dust that may be affecting its functionality. 2. Volume settings: Verify that the volume is not set too low or muted. Adjust the volume settings accordingly. 3. Batteries: If your Dictaphone 1243 operates on batteries, make sure they are charged or replace them with fresh batteries. Insufficient power can affect the device's performance. 4. Recording mode: Confirm that you have selected the correct recording mode. Some devices have different recording options, such as voice activation or manual recording. Ensure you have chosen the appropriate mode for your needs. 5. Storage space: Check if there is sufficient storage space available on your device. If the memory is full, it may prevent further recordings. Delete unnecessary files or transfer them to another storage device to free up space. 6. Reset or firmware update: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may consider performing a reset on your Dictaphone 1243. Consult the device's manual or contact the manufacturer's support for instructions on how to reset the device. Additionally, you could check if there are any firmware updates available for your device and apply them if necessary. If none of these steps help to resolve the problem, it might be best to reach out to the manufacturer's support team or consider taking the device to a professional technician for further assistance.

There are several Freeware Text-to-Speech and some very expensive Text-to-Speech available on the internet, but to the best of my knowledge there is nothing available at any price that will do a proper job --the easy way. This is why all "books on tape" or CD or whatever else, are performed by real people. Check in your local library. :-) If you really want to voice record text books for your son to listen to, you are the only one who can do it. It is a labor of love. Or you can hire a student radio announcer. At your local second hand stores you'll be able to get yourself a decent cassette tape recorder/player and a decent plug-in external microphone, with an ON-OFF switch. That should be an investment of not more than $20.00 to $30.00 The 60 minute cassette tapes are the more durable ones, and can be had for about $1.00 each. Much information is available on the Internet about how to record your voice on tape. For converting your tapes to MP3, my choice is a freeware named Audacity. The benefit of this software is that not only it has professional features, but it has excellent on-line manuals and step-by-step instructions. After that, it is only a question of trial-and-error until you are happy with the final outcome. It is time and effort well invested. Cheers

There is a couple reasons way your unit can beep. #1 not tape on the unit #2 if you trying to record maybe the cassette tab on the cassette is broken to protect a recording #3 it can be at the end of the tape #4 try to play and make sure tape moves if tape don't move possible broken belt or bad motor If none above you can send an email to [email protected] or call (805) 644-9525. Please indicate model and detailed description of problem.
