Abstract
A speech information recording/reproduction apparatus includes a CPU for recording digital speech data, into which a speech signal is converted, in a rewritable solid memory, a partial erasing switch for erasing the speech data recorded in the solid memory, and a reproduction switch for setting an erasing range of the speech data from the solid memory. The CPU delays execution of erasure for several seconds after the erasing range is set, and predetermined information about the execution of erasure is displayed by an LCD and an LED for these several seconds. The CPU does not erase the speech data from the solid memory when a reset switch is operated to cancel the execution of erasure during the display of the information, but erases it after the information is displayed when the reset switch is not operated during the display.
