Dictate/transcribe apparatus in which plural modules, each including at least two record/playback decks, are interconnected. A switch in each module selects one or the other or neither of the decks therein to operate in a transcribe mode; and a transducer and operation selector are connected to one of the modules to effect a transcribe operation from the deck which has been selected to operate in the transcribe mode regardless of the particular module in which that deck is located. The electrical coupling arrangement between the modules permits audio signals to be transmitted from the transcribe deck to the particular module to which the transducer and operation selector are connected, and also allows function control signals to be transmitted from the operation selector to the module which includes the transcribe deck.
