Not all Digital Voice Recorders are the same
Philips Recorder - As cassette based dictation and transcription products are gradually phased out by manufactures all over the world, many professionals who have used tapes for years are unsure of what type of recorder to exchange their old and broken down tape recorder with. Using a multitude of choices for digital voice recorders, why go with a Philips or Olympus recorder? For that professional who creates formal dictations the the desired info is clear. A professional grade recorder allows mcdougal to efficiently manage his / her work flow with feature sets designed specifically for repetitive creation of dictations. For instance, a consumer model recorder doesn't allow the author to rewind and insert or rewind and overwrite inside file. The Philips Recorder models 9600 and 9500 have this feature allowing for rewinding and inserting or overwriting from the file. Additional features are the capability to preset destination folders for the dictation once it is completed. In other words, after the dictation is complete the article author simply docks the recorder along with the file is automatically extracted from the recorder and shipped to the proper folder for transcription. This folder is typically a folder for the firm’s network set up specifically to obtain and send the dictations; the files can be sent automatically via e-mail being an attachment. These features are part of the robust software added to professional Olympus recorders such as the DS 5000 and the DS3400 and professional Philips recorders such as the 9600 and 9500. When the file is distributed to the transcriptionist it also includes a separate smaller file which includes information that allows for fast and efficient turnaround with the text file. This second smaller file contains preset information that includes the author’s name, time and date the file was developed, priority indication, in addition to customizable fields for specific workflow needs. This Meta information is used by the transcriptionist software to organize and prioritize the dictations quickly. Additionally, Olympus and Philips recorders are built for the rigors of daily repetitive use and therefore are fully backed by a one year warranty. An example is the durable metallic case to the professional grade models. Infrequent use for recording lectures or general note using the non professional Olympus recorder models can do the trick; however for the legal, medical or business professional, time is very important and trying to use a consumer line can't only be frustrating but often that not is also a waste of his / her valuable time. A professional who works on the recorder in their regular workflow should have the features and durability to satisfy his or her specific needs. The professional Olympus recorders and Philips Recorders exceed these needs and can continue to for years to come.
