Olympus DS-5000 Digital Voice Recorder
The Olympus DS-5000 is the new flagship recorder from America's leader in portable handheld digital dictation. Imagine the DS-4000, but only much, much better!
The DS-5000 Digital Recorder is stronger and better than the DS-4000, and includes many new features and upgrades - all at a competitive price.
The DS-5000 has been designed from the ground up to deliver superb performance. From a longer battery life to on-board encryption, the DS-5000 is much more than a new model: it is a whole new ball game!
The Olympus DS-5000 Digital Voice Recorder supports SD and microSD, dual memory cards. There are three programmable buttons and a manager tool for easy setup and customization. Better sound quality for QP recording mode.
Even the docking and charging cradle is new. Easy-out, easy-in design saves on wear and tear, while providing a quick USB or AC powered recharge to give you up to 30 hours of recording time.
This complete dictation solution is perfect for the busy doctor or lawyer wanting maximum productivity in a portable device.
The complete new DSS Player Pro Release 5 software can automatically send dictations via e-mail or FTP to a secretary or transcriptionist. With integrated encryption, your dictations are safe and HIPAA compliant!
Not just a re-do of an older model, the DS-5000 represents the top of technology for professional digital dictation.
Watch the Basic Training video to see how easy it is to operate the Olympus DS-5000. And the Introduction to the DS-5000 for more information about this professional dictation recorder.
NOTE FOR MAC USERS: The DS-5000 comes pre-configured for DSS Pro format (.ds2) files. While the DSS Player for Mac will play these files, you have to upgrade your Mac software for your transcription kit if you use an Olympus Transcription Kit in order to play these files. For PC users of the Olympus Transcription Module, you will need to upgrade to Release 5 of the DSS Player Pro. For more information on compatibility, call American Dictation or visit our Support page.
Includes FREE remote installation, configuration, training and unlimited tech support.
