What is Olympus ODMS Software?

ODMS, which stands for Olympus Dictation Management System, is a complete dictation and transcription management suite designed to simplify your dictation workflow. It provides extensive features for not only Authors and Transcriptionist but IT Administrators as well, which will allow them to manage and customize their entire user base.

Olympus Dictation Management System (ODMS) allows users to play, edit and manage their dictations to improve  efficiency and increase productivity.

In order to support the various business styles ODMS comes in Standalone Mode and Workgroup Mode.

ODMS Standalone Mode

ODMS Standalone mode is designed to support Small and Medium Workflow Environment.  These types of environments typically do not have a requirement for centralized management and deployment. Standalone mode is better suited to smaller network environment where dictations are likely to be stored on a single server/host machine or e-mailed to the transcriptionist.

ODMS Workgroup Mode

ODMS Workgroup mode is designed to support Medium and Large environments. In Workgroup environment software and hardware settings can be centrally managed by the Administrator. Typically this installation mode would serve a large amount of users who transfer files to multiple servers or send files from multiple locations.

ODMS Standalone Mode and Workgroup mode are available in two different modules as well. The Dictation Module and Transcription Module. 

The Dictation Module can be used by authors so that dictation files can be easily downloaded and managed. The Standalone Dictation Module can be configured to be completely automated and once the device is connected to the PC files will be downloaded automatically.

The Transcription Module is designed to minimize transcriptionist workload and increase productivity. It allows transcriptionist to configure their transcription setting including playback control, user interface, and foot control functions. It can be configured to automatically open preconfigured templates in word processor and speed up transcription process.

Two Channel Transcription - Benefits

Audio transcription can be a difficult process; it requires precise listening skills, patience and careful editing. An hour meeting can take upwards of 4 hours to transcribe. With two channel transcription this process can be simplified and shortened with ease.

What is two channel transcription?

Two Channel Transcription has all the same features and benefits of Single Channel Transcription except that it features the ability to split the audio file into a left and right channel. It is this ability that allows the transcriptionist to listen to both channels at once or to separate the channels for a clearer, more precise transcription of the audio. Especially useful for a conference setting when multiple parties could be talking over one another and the audio is not all clear as it should be. The ability to split the channels gives full control over who is heard during the transcription process.

What are the benefits of two channel transcription?

Channel Isolation:

With two channel transcribers you have the ability to split the audio into a left and right channel. This is beneficial when two or more parties talk over each other and the audio becomes jumbled.

Variable Speed Control:

Variable speed control gives you the ability to speed up or slow down a section of the audio. If a part of the meeting does not need to be recorded the ability to speed up the audio will quickly alleviate that section. On the other hand, let’s say that one person speaks too quickly and you have trouble understanding them, you can playback the audio at a slower speed which allows you to capture every word.

Auto Backspace:

Auto backspace allows you to re-listen to the last few seconds of audio just to make sure everything was written accurately.

Hands Free Transcription:

The addition of a foot pedal allows the transcriptionist to never remove their hands from the keyboard. The foot pedal allows you to stop and start, rewind, and fast forward the audio.

Increased Productivity:

Because the transcriptionist never has to remove their hands from the keyboard, productivity increases. This allows for faster transcription of audio which leads to more work being accomplished. The turnover rate from audio file to hard copy decreases dramatically. The ability to index audio files provides an easy way to jump to certain parts of the meeting or interview which saves ample amounts of time.

Accurate and Detailed Records:

With all the abilities of a two channel transcriber, the accuracy and the detail of each transcription will increase because the transcriptionist has the ability to review and correct the current project.

Digital Two Channel Audio:

Everyone speaks at different levels and this can become a problem when transcribing audio. With new digital technology even the softest person can be captured and the volume can then be raised to a level that allows for easier listening and transcribing.

Digital Files:

These days everyone in some way or another relies on technology. The ability to store your audio files on a hard drive gives multiple benefits that many don’t realize. Some of these include; no more cassette tapes to juggle and carry around, the ability to store more with less, the ability to easily create multiple copies, hours upon hours of recording time.
