small recorder with speaker that doesn't vary speed

The time and pitch performed and played back should be the same, that's the goal. That is the goal of most recorders, and is pretty much universally achieved. ... Unless you have an especially acute case of perfect pitch - amoungst tyhe most acute few percentage of sufferers - then casstte should be just fine. My suspicion is that the original poster is describing "micro" cassette recorders, not normal "compact cassette" units. Micro cassette recorders, intended primarily for note taking and dictation, almost invariable have no drive capstan for speed reference. Instead, the transport imply drives the supply and takeup reels through rubber belts or pucks that are designed to slip. There may easily be 10% speed variations from one end of the cassette to the other. Also, because of the tape speed, the track width, with microphone and speaker, their fidelity is just good enough for voice articulation, and absolutely no better. Yes, it is true that handheld digital recorders may be the answer, depending upon what the user requires for recording time, portability and so on. |
