Olympus AS-2400 Easy Transcription Kit
For dedicated transcription needs, Olympus offers the AS-2400 Transcription Kit which includes a footswitch and headset for hands-free operation. It allows easy transfer from the voice recorder to the secretary’s office. Besides the DSS Player Standard Transcription software, the kit also includes the RS-28 footswitch and the E-102 stereo headset to make hands-free operation Transcription possible.
Using the Foot Control and Headset, the typist can control the Play/Stop, Rewind and Fast Forward functions, orif preferred can use the keyboard function keys.
The Olympus AS-2400 Kit is perfectly suited for writing minutes and interviews recorded with the DS-2, DS-2300, DR-1000, DS-30, DS-40, DS-50 and the WS Series Digital Voice Recorders.
Features and Benefits:
For the typist, the main screen can be minimized to a smaller view to enable clear access to Microsoft Word or your preferred word processing package. The typist may still access volume and speed controls and adjust the noise cancelling and auto back space settings.
All Folders can be renamed to reflect the workflow of the office or individual. Downloaded files will arrive in the same folder from which they were downloaded i.e. dictation in Folder ‘A’ on the portable will be downloaded to Folder ‘A’ in the software.
Using the supplied foot control (RS28), the typist can control the Play/Stop, Rewind and Fast Forward functions, or if preferred can use the keyboard
function keys.
A headset is provided with the AS-2400 kit (model E102). It has a conveniently long 3 meter cable to allow easy connectionto your computer. For those who use the auto back space setting normally found on traditional tape machines, this function is available in the optionsmenu within the DSS software. The back space setting can be set to automatically rewind the voice between 0 - 5 seconds.
Within the main window view, it is possible to insert a comment into an audio file. This text comment can be up to 100 characters in length and is very useful for sharing information with other users or just keeping notes for later reference - much like placing a Post it Note onto the file.
