By coupling the DS-5000 with the AS-5000 Transcription Kit, efficiency can be taken up several notches in businesses of all sizes. Dictation thereby becomes a fully integrated part of the office workflow and the conversion from voice to text is made significantly easier. The AS-5000 Transcription Kit includes a footswitch and headset to ensure ergonomic working by the transcriptionist. In addition, process efficiency is optimised thanks to the new DSS Player Pro Transcription Software Module bundled with the AS-5000 Transcription Kit. Besides making secure file management easier than ever before, it offers multiple file transfer options to suit individual requirements. Full Citrix and Terminal Service support is provided and it is compatible with POP3, SMTP, IMAP Microsoft Outlook, Novell GroupWise, Lotus Notes and Extended MAPI email environments. Moreover, SSL support for email/ftp is also included. The DS-5000 Voice Recorder and AS-5000 Transcription Kit - along with the corresponding DSS Player Pro software - represent a complete digital dictation and transcription system for businesses of all types and sizes. They will be available from March 2008 - exclusively at authorised Olympus Pro Line dealers.
