A dual speed tape drive system for a dictating and transcribing system is provided with means for recording and transcribing and including a single-bin, random-wind tape storage magazine to store an endless loop of magnetic tape in random folds. The tape is drawn from the magazine at one side, passed over the top of the apparatus, back into the magazine and out of the magazine through a dictate-playback station. After passing through the dictate-playback station the tape is returned to the magazine where it may be stored in random-wound folds until a transcribe station is activated to draw the tape from the magazine through the transcribe station and back into the magazine where it is stored awaiting further dictation. Both the dictate-playback station and the transcribe station are provided with bidirectional tape drive capability and one tape drive system at each station is provided with dual speed tape drive capability to allow for tape drive at normal recording or transcribing speed as well as a fast forward speed.
