No matter how diverse the jobs you have, the DS-5000 can handle it. Up to seven folders with up to 199 files each are available to organise recordings. So that important parts can be easily found later on, users can set up to 32 index marks per file during recording. Furthermore, the same number of verbal annotations can be appended to each file - giving users the chance to add special notes or ideas to specific sections of previously captured recording. A handy verbal comment function additionally allows an overall remark to be attached to a file, which can be used to give the transcriptionist general instructions, for example.

Voice files can be recorded in two different recording qualities, including the new extremely high quality QP mode, enabling the perfect balance of quality and quantity to be selected personally.

For easy access to the most commonly used functions, three programmable smart buttons are available. Support of both SD and microSD memory cards means storage capacity is flexibly managed and can be extended at any time.

The Hi-Speed USB interface is compatible with USB Storage, Audio and HID classes to extend user options. Moreover, the DS-5000 also features a full duplex microphone and speaker. Centralised firmware updates are also possible with this model.

Ensuring the DS-5000 remains up-to-date even in years to come, a special I/O interface has been integrated, allowing plug-in modules of the future to be supported.

Furthermore, the included DSS Player Pro Dictation Software Module represents a powerful new dictation management tool. This will enable users to flexibly enhance their dictation workflow in a variety of IT environments - no matter how small or large. The software supports multiple file formats including DSS Pro, DSS, WMA and WAV. Moreover, MP3 decoder support is also provided. DSS Player Pro will even automatically update itself - ensuring users always have the most up-to-date solution available to optimise office efficiency.

High security for peace of mind
Business users often discuss matters that are highly confidential - or at least not intended for everyone’s ears. That’s why the DS-5000 incorporates numerous security features to ensure files are protected from unauthorised playback or duplication. For starters, this model allows voice files to be encrypted and decrypted. Furthermore, users can set up password protection on their device. The special DS-5000iD model even enables protection using biometric information. In this way maximum security is assured.

Simplicity in action
While the DS-5000 is a veritable powerhouse, operation remains simple. Menu choices are intuitive to let the user focus on the business at hand. A single slide switch allows the most common functions to be accessed in just a fraction of a second. Further navigation buttons are located ergonomically in the centre of the device to ensure easy data input and access to settings. Allowing all information to be seen at a glance in a choice of six languages, this model also features a large, back-lit LCD, which is protected against scratches thanks to a high-grade, coated screen.

A reliable companion at all times
A business tool is nothing if it is not dependable. That’s why Olympus has gone to great lengths to ensure the DS-5000 performs exceptionally in this regard. Its metal body protects it against the knocks and bumps of daily use. The slide switch mechanism, which runs on rubber rollers for virtually noise-free operation, has been thoroughly tested for extended use. The USB connector and battery door have been specifically designed for heavy-duty treatment. And when it’s time to take the recorder from the desktop cradle to the hand, users will enjoy the convenience of one-hand dock and undock functionality. Furthermore, due to extra-low battery consumption, the DS-5000 continues recording after others have long given up the ghost.
