Why Digital Dictation?

As technology evolves and businesses expand, organizations are constantly seeking out new ways to improve efficiency, cut costs and still maintain a high quality of work. Dictation has always played a key part in this role, but tape-based recording (analogue) has rapidly become an obsolete format and pioneering manufacturers such as Olympus have had to develop smarter, more flexible products that can cater for digital media and the various methods of transferring content to users around the world. The solution to this issue - digital dictation from Olympus. 

Sound Quality 
Digital dictation uses advanced audio codecs and higher quality microphones to produce a higher sound quality. The lack of moving parts found in analogue devices means that background noise is heavily reduced. Olympus utilize the Digital Speech Standard (DSS / DS2) for digital recordings, this format is specifically designed for dictation and produces extremely high quality audio. 

Cost Saving Battery Life 
Olympus Professional Dictation products are supplied with advanced rechargeable batteries that provide significant cost savings over time compared to devices that use standard AAA alkaline batteries. 

Higher Security 
Security is a growing concern for organizations and individuals alike. In order to deliver the highest possible security, Olympus offer a range of recorders and software capable of encrypting dictations with 256 bit AES encryption. Portable devices can also be locked with a four digit PIN code. 

Increased Recording Time 
Olympus devices make use of flash storage such as SD and MicroSD, because of this they can store hours worth of dictation on a single card. As the recordings are transferred from the device to the PC, the recording time is essentially limitless with no need for expensive cassettes. 

Digital Dictation is more Organized 
By using an Olympus professional recorder with the included software, it is now easy to locate specific dictations quickly. The built-in search and organization features make dictations more accessible than ever, and take up no physical storage space.
