Olympus DS9500 = DS700 Replacement Model

The Olympus DS-9500 professional dictation device's Wi-Fi connectivity allows you share your dictation from anywhere and send your dictation immediately to your transcriptionist without a USB cable, docking station or computer.

The Intelligent Dual Microphone System controls the directionality of each microphone to actively monitor and analyse the phase difference while recording and suppressing noise from surroundings, enhancing the recorded voice. This keeps the focus on the person dictating and suppresses ambient noise in offices, hospitals, cars, airports and other noisy environments. This also makes the Olympus DS9500 digital voice recorder the an ideal partner for Dragon Professional and Dragon Legal speech recognition systems.

For conference recording, the system controls the directionally of the two microphones into a 90o layout to accurately capture all presenters in conference rooms.

A triple-layer, studio-quality pop filter ensures accurate voice capture while reducing unwanted sounds such as breath and wind vibrations, for superior accuracy that enhances workflow efficiency.

The Olympus DS-9500's rugged 1.5 meter shockproof, alcohol-wipe resistant body is designed to be a strong, dependable workhorse in heavy use environments. A durable optical slide switch reduces risk of mechanical failure.

Complete with reliable security features like 256-bit file encryption with DSS Pro audio codec and device pin lock, the DS-9500 provides trusted security to your most sensitive information and meets standards set by governments worldwide for securing data.

Included with the Olympus DS-9500 Professional Dictation Kit is the Olympus Dictation Management System Release 7 software (ODMS R7). This is the virtual coordinator at the heart of the Olympus Dictation Solution. The ODMS R7 suite has been designed to provide an intuitive and user-friendly experience capable of handling new efficient workflows in a scalable solution to meets the needs of offices small and large.
