Audio enthusiasts in need of an ultraportable audio recorder will be impressed with the teenage engineering TP–7, a digital tape recorder that features a motorized tape reel, a side-mounted rocker, an integrated microphone and speaker, three two-way 3.5mm TRRS jacks that are compatible with external microphones, headsets, or other sources, and a dedicated stereo headphone output.

The motorized tape reel allows for scrubbing, pause, and menu navigation, while the rocker allows you to quickly scrub through your audio. Multiple connectivity options include USB-C, Bluetooth, and MFi. The internal battery provides up to 7 hours of use, while the internal 128GB memory will allow you to record hours of audio including voice memos that can be instantly transcribed into text using the TP–7 Transcription app. The TP–7 includes a 1/4" headphone adapter, a braided USB-C cable, and a reusable plastic storage box.

Intuitive Muscle Reflex Control
TP-7 fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and lets your fingers naturally adopt the controls. The index finger triggers fast forward and the middle finger rewinds. Your thumb records a memo, the pinky selects the mode. It's a genuinely rewarding man-machine experience.

Tape Reel Sensation
The centerpiece of the TP–7 is the motorized tape reel. A delicately engineered brushed motor with ball bearings, and a highly sensitive hall sensor that lets you virtually grab your recording. The reel is also used for scrubbing, to pause, menu navigation and as gentle visual feedback during playback and recording.

The Rocker
The side-mounted rocker allows you to quickly scrub through your audio. Just press on the top edge to fast forward, and down to rewind. Watch the wheel spin around and hear your tracks scrub in hyperspeed.

Transcription Heaven
If you've ever experienced the process of transcribing recorded speech-to-text by hand, you'll understand. A key feature of the TP–7 is its ability to streamline the process of turning audio into text. Simply connect your phone to TP–7 via BLE or USB, open the TP–7 app, and press transcribe. It's as easy as that.

Off the Record
Picture yourself in an interview situation. The reel on the TP–7 is spinning slowly, the bright-red record lamp is lit. Both the reel and the lamp indicates that a recording is taking place. The interview is going quite well. The situation gets heated, you're suddenly asked some personal questions. In that moment, you gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview off the record.
