Dictating machines and supply wholesalers often carry a wide range of recording equipment, supplies, and accessories that can be used for recording speech in the office. Many of them carry electrical speech recording equipment like Gray audographs, dictabelts, Dictaphones, SoundScriber, phonographs, mini digital recorders, and other compact devices. They might also have cassettes, wax cylinders, and other supplies and accessories that can be used for recording conversations, taking notes, or writing letters. Ask the companies how long they have been in business. Those with several years often have contacts with distribution businesses that can provide you with all of the equipment you need at the lowest prices. You should also ask them what levels of customer service they offer for bulk orders. You will want to choose a company that can not only offer the supplies you need, but also gives you the customer service that you need. This might include providing you with written price quotes for large orders of recording equipment like SoundScriber and Dictaphones or free delivery for supplies like wax cylinders. When you contact the wholesalers, you should make sure that they have equipment that offers the sound control that you need. If it is being used for taping office conversations or taping notes at their desks, then you probably do not need a high fidelity machine. If you plan on using the recordings for communication, though, you will probably want to spend a little extra so that you can get equipment that offers the best sound quality. Ask the wholesalers what types of equipment they would suggest and compare the prices of the different companies to help you decide which is best for you.
