A faster world needs better solutions.
The evolution from analogue to digital recording is a story of continual
improvement, so it’s essential that professionals in every fi eld make
a seamless transition into digital technology. Olympus Professional
Dictation Systems solutions help to do just that... and more.
Effi ciency at your fi ngertips
The average human speaks seven times faster
than they can write. But no matter how fast you
talk, Olympus can keep up. Analogue belongs
to the past, and it’s time to get up to speed.
With the whole industry moving towards
digital, don’t be left at a disadvantage by
putting up with outdated technology.
Speed up your business
Before digital dictation was an option, most
offi ces gave their rush jobs to their fastest typist.
To type at 95 words per minute was impressive,
and a 90-minute tape could be transcribed in only
a few hours. But if a team of typists could work
on the same amount of audio simultaneously, the
job could be done in under half an hour.
Clutter control
Switching to digital saves money and space.
For every 1GB of memory space, modern
Olympus devices can record more than six
days of non-stop high quality audio. You
would need approximately more than 100
analogue microcassettes to hold the same
amount of information.
Think smarter
Going digital means it’s easy to insert sections
or add notes and comments to a dictation
after the fact. This makes it simple to collect
and review thoughts so you can continually
improve your fi nal result. It also means that the
high cost and last-century speed of shipping
cassettes has been erased.
Be in sync
With email, FTP or remote access to your
network, an audio fi le can be on your
colleague’s desktop or at an external
secretary’s offi ce in mere seconds.
With that kind of speed, Olympus Professional
Dictation Systems will signifi cantly upgrade
your turnaround times.
Secure records
Superior digital quality and constant
improvements to encryption technology
make digital archiving the safest and
clearest method to document
important voice records.
World-leading innovations
1969: World’s fi rst microcassette recorder
As the world’s leading brand for unparalleled
dictation and transcription solutions, Olympus
has a lot to be proud of. It all started in 1969
when Olympus unveiled the world’s fi rst
microcassette recorder. The Zuiko Pearlcorder
offered portability and ease of use, and it
instantly revolutionised the way that doctors,
lawyers, journalists and people in countless
other professions worked. In no time at all,
it became the benchmark for anyone who
needed a recording device for dictation and
transcription purposes or a speech to text
system for interviewing or recording meetings.
1997: First professional digital recorder
After inventing the microcassette, Olympus
once again caught the imagination with the
introduction of its fi rst digital recorder. As with
the Pearlcorders, the Olympus digital range has
gone on to win numerous design honours due to
its perfect combination of functionality and good
looks. Add our powerful software solutions, and
there’s no better dictation system available.
Whether you need an entry level digital recorder
or complete integrated solutions from the
top-of-its-class Professional Dictation Systems
range, Olympus has the answer. With Olympus,
your success has never sounded better.

Based on real
improvements
The success of Olympus’ digital dictation
solutions is simple: Olympus technology
contributes to better results in many
areas of business. For example, current
research demonstrates that automation
of patient records in hospitals leads to
signifi cant reductions in mortality rates
and costs. It also helps to improve the
overall health of patients.*
Superior business
dictation solutions
With Olympus dictation devices it is easy
to edit high quality sound fi les on the go,
on a desktop computer or a laptop.
At the touch of a button, the recorders
can create index markers or verbal
comments, defi ne work types and set
priorities for easy dictation management.
Keep your business
running smoothly
On the back-end, implementation with
your existing network is always trouble-
free and, because Olympus software
requires very little maintenance, your
IT department can focus on other
things. Because voice data is kept in a
centralised system, administrators can
easily monitor and control the fl ow of
information in order to guarantee stability
and keep your business running smoothly
and safely.
Erasing the learning curve
The award-winning Olympus Professional
Dictation Systems illustrate perfectly why
that’s the case. Each high-performance
dictation device is easy to use and made
to look great. The recorders’ rugged
casings are ergonomically designed to
fi t comfortably in your hand, no matter
where your business takes you.
And their user interfaces are simple to
navigate – there’s hardly any learning
curve at all. Whether you’re using a
Professional Dictation Systems model that
records directly to a PC, or transferring
and emailing fi les from a mobile device to
the network, you’ll appreciate how easy
and successful your life has become.
Digital Dictation pays
for itself
Time-consuming processes will become a
distant memory. This means you’ll quickly
see a return on investment as the system
pays for itself and frees up funds for other
investments. By designing the Professional
Dictation Systems range to adapt to
your own specifi c needs, your workfl ow
becomes more effi cient than ever before.
Good for you. Good for your business.
When it comes to digital recording solutions, Olympus sets the
benchmark for business. Professionals across the globe know
the Olympus brand stands for quality. That’s why Olympus
signifi cantly outsells any other company in the fi eld of mobile
hand-held digital dictation.

What really matters
Olympus prides itself in knowing
that every solution it produces offers
solid dependability. Its Professional
Dictation Systems are no different.
Each element is an example of
the absolute latest technologies,
exceeding expectations with robust
functions that let you focus on the
things that really matter.
Latest industry
standard
Since Olympus was one of the
architects of the industry standard
DSS technology, the sound quality
from its DSS Pro professional digital
recorders delivers crystal clear
dictation fi les for transcription and
speech recognition. In addition, you
can archive your recordings without
any quality loss, which means they
are safely preserved for the future.
All that while reducing the load on
your IT infrastructure and delivering
the best security in the business.
Data security
For many professionals, voice data
needs to remain hush-hush. In today’s
business world, confi dentiality is
more important than ever before.
As a starting point, the system can
be seamlessly integrated into the
security architecture of your network.
Then the audio stored on your
centralised network can easily be
protected by providing unique user
IDs. Moreover, the controls on each
digital dictation device make it virtually
impossible to accidentally erase any
of the data you’ve recorded.
In addition, Professional Dictation
Systems recorders and software have
high-tech features such as security
locks, password protection and the
ability to encrypt and decrypt audio
fi les. For absolute discretion, a unique
state of-the-art biometric fi ngerprint
lock function recognises you and
ensures that only you can provide
access to the valuable information
saved on your recorder.
Peace of mind.
In the 21st century, it’s crucial to protect your investment
on multiple levels. Failsafe security is essential, especially
when it comes to the compliance and trust requirements of
your business partners. That’s why Professional Dictation
Systems offer numerous features that ensure peace of
mind for you – and them.

...and on your network. Olympus’ reputation as a leading
cross-platform supplier is outstanding in the digital dictation
solution industry, ensuring that your workfl ow is effectively
handled today and tomorrow.
Integrated solutions
In a networked world you need the ability
to sync up with networked information
whenever it suits you. With traditional
recording technologies, that was impossible.
With Olympus Professional Dictation
Systems, it became the standard. They
provide integrated solutions ideally suited
for taking dictation, keeping audio notes and
capturing conference presentations.
One step ahead
Olympus Professional Dictation Systems
are also extraordinarily fl exible because
they can be combined with powerful
accessories like the Olympus barcode
scanner which helps to incorporate voice
data into existing information management
solutions. Thereby Olympus constantly
stays one step ahead, developing
interfaces today that ensure users are able
to benefi t from future innovations.
Always running smoothly
But what really makes Olympus Professional
Dictation Systems impressive is that the
range is tailored to improve the lives of the
people behind the scenes. Its cross-platform
software works harmoniously on all leading
network architectures. And because fi les
are centrally located and managed, your
IT department can be sure that things are
always running smoothly. With features like
these, it makes it easy for managers to keep
overhead costs down, revenue fl owing in and
a smile on the faces of IT administrators.
Stable platform for
the future
Professional Dictation Systems ensure a
stable platform for today’s professional
requirements. And, because Olympus
believes in planning for the future,
Professional Dictation Systems solutions
are ready for what tomorrow brings by
ensuring that the technology is compatible
with all leading platforms.
