The Difference
between consumer digital voice recorders and professional dictation
recorders:
Professional Dictation handheld digital recorders work exactly like
the tape dictation machines you may be used to: slide up the side
switch to record, slide down to playback, hold down to review.
- Memory
-Storage - Record Time & Record Quality are better on professional
dictation recorder.
- Consumer digital
recorders usually have built in memory or fixed memory.
- Professional
Dictation recorder has removable memory cards for quick replacement.
- Professional Digital
Recorders use removable media and allow for larger storage through
larger memory cards. Removable memory cards
offer more flexibility in other ways as well. For example if you
need to have a file transcribed immediately or downloaded to the pc
you simply turn in the media card not the recorder, so you can
continue your dictation.
- Professional
features include ability to assign an Author ID and Work Type,
insert audio into an existing recording, and write protect a
recording. The Duration of the dictation file is also present
alerting the transcriptionist on how long the dictation is.

How to chose a Digital Voice Dictation Recorder
There are 2 main types of digital recorders in the world. Consumer digital voice recorders which use fixed memory and have limited features. Allot of the fixed memory voice recorders wont be able to download the audio files to your computer. You can only listen to them on the recorder itself. The second choice is the removable memory voice recorders which have a some type of memory card which can be taken out of the recorder and changed during a break. All of these recorders have robust features and all of them have the ability to download the audio files to the computer for emailing. Last of all Voice recognition does not work like star trek, at its best has many flaws, so in my opinion it does not work. It will not work for many voice talking in to the recorder all at once. It has to be trained to one persons voice only.
* Fixed Memory Recorders
* Re moveable Memory Recorders
Fixed Memory Recorders - only give you a fixed amount of time on a given recorder. Now, be careful when reading the available recording times. Much of the marketing materials promote the highest amount of recording minutes available for the recorder, but at the lowest quality setting. For speech recognition, recoding of music, recording in loud areas or recording multiple people all benefit by using the the higher quality sound. Speach recognition does not work with a more than one person. You also will need to extensively train a voice recognition system for many months to achieve a 85% rate.
Re moveable Memory Recorders - give you great flexibility with the available recording time. The recorder comes with a memory card and you can expand or get much bigger memory cards. As of this writing, memory cards can boast 512MB per card. Enough to give you weeks worth of recording on a single memory card. In some instances, you may have to keep this memory card for legal reasons in original format.
* Push Button Recorders
* Thumb slide Recorders
Push Button Recorders - may also have the ability to insert dictation. However, it is sometimes difficult getting to the point of insert. Some push button recorders do not have rewind review. Just Rewind. You'll also have to use 2 hands to do this or go through multiple menus. This makes reviewing your recording almost impossible. You have to start at the begining of the file and listen to all of the recording this could be a problem if you have recorder a hour or more.
Thumb slide Recorders - The top of the line recorders have a thumb slide switch to control it's review and insert capabilities. These are truly the recorders professionals need. Rewind review capability, rewind, insert, play and stop. These recorders are currently only available as re moveable memory type. These recorders have the features for people who use their recorders everyday.
Transcribers and Docking Stations
All digital transcription systems require you to use a foot pedal system connected to a computer. You then receive the recorder files electronically (either by transfer from recorder to computer via a USB cable, or by way of a memory card reader or cd. Olympus and Philips do currently have hybrid type systems where either method is used with the transcribers. The model of the Philips is the 9750 digital transcriber but you must have a philips 9350 or 9450 digital recorder to work with the transcriber see www.martel.com/philips
A transcriber is more than just a foot pedal. It's a foot pedal and software to work with the foot pedal. Therefore, when making your purchase, please be sure you have at least 1 foot pedal software for your installation.
Docking Stations. Docking stations make it very easy to download your recorder files to the computer. Some docking stations actually recharge the batteries on your recorder. This is available on the very high end systems. Available on models Philips 9350,9450 and Olympus DS-4000 only.
Software
This is what separates the recorders from each other. The ability to build your method (workflow) of transcription. Work flow is the ability to move the files around with little or no intervention from staff. However, the hardware is only as good as it's software. While all of the systems come with some basic form of transcribing and recording/downloading, some systems go way beyond the basic functions
Below is a manufacture breakdown.
Each manufacturer has their strong points and you have to weigh which functions are most important to you.
Olympus & Philips are the Leaders in Digital Recorders. They both use the DSS compress software and are compatible with each other.
1. The use of DSS files for small audio files. This makes it best for emailing or transferring files across a network or the internet.
2. Encryption / Decryption. Using the higher end Olympus recorders, the recorders and transcribers can encrypt and decrypt data.
3. Super High Quality Recording. Includes Stereo Recording and Stereo Hi Fi Recording.
4. Software. The DSS Player Pro software included with the higher end systems allows you to build a workflow from beginning to end of the document creation. You can automatically download files, convert them, send them via email or to FTP, encrypt, etc.
Philips - A leader in institutionalized systems such as Hospitals, Courthouses and other large type installations. Philips has the most hardware options of any other manufacturer. Plus
1. The use of DSS files for small audio files. This makes it best for emailing or transferring files across a network or the internet.
2. Voice commands integrated into the recorder. This allows for the ease of identifying work type or patient numbers and using this information with the audio file.
3. The most hardware options available.
4. A Digital Desktop Transcriber does not have to connect to a computer for transcription. Can be used similar to a tape system with the benefits of digital.
5. SDK Software Development Kit for integration within your own software.
Sony - Sony keeps it simple by giving you exactly what you need. Plus, it's high quality recording is second to none. Sony generally works with .wav files. This is a negative for email documents, but is a positive if you plan to use voice recognition software, though the voice recognition is not up par for most people.
1. Keeps it simple with only a few recorders and one transcriber for digital transcription.
2. Records in native .WAV allowing for high quality recording and high speech recognition accuracy.
3. Thumb slide available
4. Sony Digital Voice Editor software - to playback and manage audio files.
Also you must keep in mind the company from which you are purchasing the digital equipment. here is list of questions to think about.
* How long have they been in business? Martel 48 Years
* Do they offer free 800 telephone support with a real person in America. Yes Martel has expert support on site in California
* are they a professional authorized dealer of the product- if not you warranty may be useless. Martel is Authorized for all the brand we carry
* Is the company just an internet site with no physical store? they may shut down the site and you support goes with them. Martel has a physical store in Yorba Linda California.
* What is the companies history and who also trust them? Martel has been trusted by 3 American Presidents personally for all their equipment recording needs, since 1960s.

courts have turned to digital dictation technologies as not only an
available replacement, but a significant improvement in efficiency and
the bottom line. No more broken tapes or replacements, no expensive
service contracts, and a clarity that will have your transcriptionist
enjoying instead of not liking dictation. professional
