Best Olympus Voice Recorders For Dictation and Transcription?
Filed Under Olympus Digital Voice Recorder Tips |
If you have to email files to a transcription service you might want to consider some of the Olympus Digital Voice Recorders that are built for heavy repeated office use.
As mentioned earlier in our article about consumer grade Olympus digital voice recorders, these higher end devices allow you to record in a highly compress format which means that - although it’s not the highest quality audio, allows doctors and surgeons to send smaller files via email or transfer to a different computer.
The very best of these Olympus digital voice recorders allow you to edit, search and organize files right on the device. You can also plug in separate devices that help make transcribing even easier. Foot controllers are one popular choice for the people that actually do the transcribing. This allows the transcriber to rewind and pause the recording without even taking their hands off the keyboard. For transcribers that get paid by the word or per transcription, this is a huge moneymaker. Since they are used daily for several hours at a time, these recorders are usually heavy duty and are able to withstand prolonged use (and abuse) :-).
Recorders like the Olympus DS-4000 are recommended for doctors, lawyers, reporters and pretty much anyone that requires massive amounts of recording time and daily prolonged use. This is especially true if it is essential for your job.
What makes the Olympus DS-4000 stand out among competitor models is it’s intuitive interface. Admittedly, some digital voice recorders are confusing and require clicking through several layers of options and configurations. It can hold almost 180 hours (!) of recording time - if you buy an additional memory card. It comes standard with a 32MB card but can be easily expanded up to 1GB. It has internal rechargeable batteries and has voice activation functionality built in. You can use the DS-4000 on both Macs and PC.
The Olympus DS-4000 has won many “best of” awards and comes highly recommended from experts across a wide range of professions.
