Coming To Australia - Speech Recognition On Mac

Something we are very excited about here at Dictate Australia is the soon to arrive Dictate speech recognition software from MacSpeech. Dictate is the latest release of MacSpeech's very popular iListen software but Dictate will be powered by the voice recognition engine used by the highly successful and very popular Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking software.
Latest news is that Dictate will hit Australia towards the end of Q1 2008. This will be followed by the Transcription Pak which will allow the use of digital voice recorders to do deferred transcription, the process of processing speech from audio recorded on a digital voice recorder. Currently MacSpeech have certified the Olympus DS-2300 and DS-4000 models to work with the Transcription Pak.

We plan to become a leading reseller in Australia for Dictate solutions with digital voice recorders. For any questions on Dictate or iListen you can direct them to us sales@dictate.com.au

Australian Olympus Buyers Beware !!

While scanning the internet last night I came across a couple of Australian online retailers selling some of the new range of Olympus digital voice recorders very very cheaply, cheaper in fact than us official resellers can buy them from Olympus in Australia.

After some investigation it turns out that these very cheap recorders are not sourced from Olympus Australia and therefore are not covered under Australian warranty. Worse still, the vast majority are refurbished so are not even brand new.

So just a warning. If you are going to invest in an Olympus digital voice recorder make sure:

1. It comes from an official Olympus Australia reseller
2. It comes with the full one year Olympus warranty

We at Dictate Australia are just one of many official Australian resellers. All our Olympus recorders are brand new from Olympus Australia and come with a full Olympus Australia warranty.

Just a word of warning, we all like a bargain but just take caution.
