Simply working smarter with Philips dictation solutions
Some users still prefer tape, and some transcription workflows are built around it. The LFH0388 is Philips' professional mini-cassette recorder, with slide-switch editing, end-of-letter index tones, voice activation and internal battery charging. We usually recommend a digital PocketMemo for new setups, but the LFH0388 is the right choice when you need to stay compatible with existing cassette transcribers.
Mobility and flexibility are critical in today's fast-moving business environments. The Philips PocketMemo voice recorder gives you the freedom to work when and where you need to.
Ideal for
- Authors who prefer the feel of an analogue recorder
- Teams with existing mini-cassette transcription machines
- Replacing a worn-out cassette dictaphone like-for-like
