Several office dictation methods have been around since at least the 1940s. The fundamental process of dictation involves having the author of a document dictate its contents into a recorder and then a typist convert the recorded matter into a typed document.

Today, however, the concept remains the same but the technology is vastly upgraded. Learn how a desktop digital transcriber and recorder could bring your business into the 2010s. Transcription begins with the author of a document recording its contents and ends with the typist. The most excellent approach to set about transcribing is with a transcription kit which has the Olympus DS-5000 recorder and AS-5000 Transcription package.

More about the package will follow soon, but first, a let’s say a word or two about the recorder. The Olympus is like any standard tape recorder you have used, but this unit has no tapes. All content is stored on SD or micro SD memory cards. What makes the Olympus really special is that digital files can be encrypted for security. Secrecy of patient and client records has never been easier to protect.

The files stay on the recorder until placement in docking cradle, then they’re automatically transferred via USB cable to an Olympus digital transcriber package. The program and hardware of the pc digital transcriber package is which transforms digital files into office documents.

This kind of kit contains special software from Olympus, a foot pedal to control audio playback, and headset for the typist. Both the recorder and desktop transcribing package/software support Digital Speech Standard Pro recording format optimized for human speech. The software has the additional benefit of supporting a large installed base of business class Windows operating systems. It’ll run on both 32-bit systems and 64-bit, including Windows 2000 Professional, XP Home edition, Vista Business 64-bit edition, and Server 2003.

Additionally, the Olympus software will do what many other business systems will not: function on popular versions of Mac OS 10.x. In general, it’s clear that the finest approach to protect business documents and simplify their dictation and creation in a paperless environment is with an Olympus digital transcriber. The Olympus DS-5000 recorder and AS-5000 Transcription package normally retails for about $850, with individual components sold alone or as a complete package.
