Olympus DS-5000 Overview
As a Olympus professional dictation device, the Olympus DS-5000 is records in the Digital Speech Standard Pro (DS2) audio format. This Olympus digital recorder uses microSD/SDHC flash media for internal memory and also accepts optional SD/SDHC media via an external card slot. Because its memory media are removable, the Olympus DS-5000 need never be left with a transcriptionist. In addition, should the Olympus DS-5000 ever need service, the media can be removed before shipping to provide additional security.
The Olympus DS-5000 comes with a 512MB microSD card but users having option to upgrade cards up to 8GB. It is norm that using larger-capacity media dramatically increases potential recording time. The Olympus DS-5000 also allow users to edit files in the recorder. Those file-editing functions include appending files, overwriting a section within a file and inserting new recordings into an existing file. Since this Olympus digital recorder is also a mass storage device, it can be used as a USB flash drive to transfer files from one computer to another.
In addition, the Olympus DS-5000 features a Device Lock security option new to Olympus digital voice recorders. With this great feature, users have peace of mind as the Device Lock prevents unauthorized access to the device via password protection.
This Olympus digital voice recorder package bundled DSS Player Pro R5 for Windows and DSS Player 7 for Mac software is used to download dictation files to a computer, where they can be archived and where further file editing can be performed. Those files can be encrypted in DSS Player Pro R5, and they can also be converted to other audio formats if you want.
