The teenage engineering/TP-7 is a high-quality portable audio recorder.

From teenage engineering's field series comes a high-quality portable audio recorder. In addition to its beautiful design, the Field is ultra-compact at 96mm x 68mm x 16mm, yet can record and playback with its built-in microphone and speaker, or use its three 2-way jacks for external microphones, headsets, or other signal sources. It also has a rechargeable battery for 7 hours of use, 128GB of internal storage, a 24bit/96khz USB audio interface, and an automatic transcription function that can be used with an application for iOS, making it a super versatile and compact recorder.

■Intuitive Controls
The TP-7 is an ultra-compact portable recorder that fits comfortably in your hand.
In addition to a design that incorporates the cool industrial taste and “playfulness” typical of teenage engineering, the design was also devised with the product's usability in mind. The design, size, and touch feel of the buttons and rotary have been carefully considered to ensure that the product is easy to operate when you pick it up.

■ Tape Reel
At the center of the TP-7 is an electric tape reel. A delicately designed ball-bearing brushed motor and a highly sensitive Hall sensor allow you to virtually grab what you record. The reel is also used for fast forward/rewind, pause, menu navigation, and visual feedback during playback and recording.

■Side-located rockers
The rockers located on the side allow for easy control of audio fast forward and rewind.

Press the top edge to fast-forward and the bottom edge to rewind.
The wheel rotates and you can hear the track being fast-forwarded or rewound at “hyperspeed.

■Relief from arduous transcription
If you have any experience in transcribing while listening to recorded audio, you will understand how wonderful this feature is.
A key feature of the TP-7 is that it streamlines the process of converting audio into text: simply connect your phone to the TP-7 via bluetooth or usb, open the TP-7 app, and press transcribe! The application will recognize the voice and automatically perform the transcription.
Currently, only English is supported. Other languages, such as Japanese, are planned to be supported through updates.

Quickly respond to “off the record
Imagine an interview scene.
The reels of the TP-7 are spinning slowly, the bright red record lamp is lit, and the conversation is being recorded.
While the interview is going smoothly, you may suddenly be asked a personal question or asked to do something off the record.
At that time, gently placing your finger on the reel pauses the recording, allowing you to continue the interview without interrupting the flow.

■ Eliminate stress from thought to action
When you suddenly decide to do something, you think about the process of what you have to do to achieve your goal. In my mind, I build a sequence of actions, and then I do them in order.
TP-7 is designed to minimize the number of action processes in various situations. Compare this to recording on the most commonly used smartphones.
