Olympus DSS Pro Latest Release Supports RS24 & RS26 Footswitch with AS-5000 Transcription Kit

Olympus have released an update to the DSS Player Pro software now moving up to version 5.0.4.0. This latest release fixes a problem for many of the converts to the DS-5000 recorders whereby older style Olympus foot controls, i.e. the RS24 and RS26, would not work via USB with the DSS Player Pro transcription module. This release fixes that issue as well as a couple of other minor bug fixes.

The update is available automatically via the softwares auto update function.

For those of you considering upgrading your DS-4000 to a new DS-5000 then this is great news as you will have worry free compatibility with your typists older AS-4000 transcription kit. Simply use the DSS Player Pro software that comes with your DS-5000 or DS-5000iD to upgrade your old AS-4000 kit to an AS-5000 for free.

How To Set Classic Mode On Olympus DS-5000 & DS-5000iD

Here is our latest YouTube video which shows how to set the Olympus DS-5000 or DS-5000iD digital dictaphone into "classic mode". This mode sets the dictaphone to record audio in the older .dss audio format instead of the default .ds2 or DSS Pro audio format. The benefit being that the older .dss format is compatible with most older transcription kits like the discontinued AS-4000 and the AS-2300 and also the popular free transcription software Express Scribe.



As you can see Classic Mode is set in the Dictation Module softwaree and not on the recorder itself.

Pop In For A Demo Of Dragon, MacSpeech or Olympus Digital Voice Recorders

My Transcriptionist Can't Play Audio From My New Olympus DS-5000 - Help !

Don't Panic ! The new Olympus DS-5000 and Olympus DS-5000iD digital dictaphone by default records in the new .ds2 or DSS Pro audio format designed to work beautifully with the Olympus AS-5000 transcription kit. But what happens if you send your audio to your outsourced typist and they are unable to play the audio?


The chances are your typist either has an Olympus AS-4000 digital transcription kit, now discontinued, or they are using other transcription software like Express Scribe from NCH Swift Sound. Both of these are not able to play the .ds2 audio format. There are however a couple of options:

1. If your typist has an AS-4000 kit they can upgrade their software to DSS Player Pro as used by the AS-5000 kit. They can do this for free if you hand over your software install disk that came with your DS-5000 as that allows a free upgrade for one licenced copy of DSS Player software. Alternatively they can purchase a software upgrade, look for Olympus product code AS5002.
2. If your typist does not transcribe using the Olympus software then you are able to configure the DS-5000 to record in "classic mode" which will save audio in the older .dss file format used previously by the DS-4000 recorders. Click here to see our YouTube video on how to change your DS-5000 or DS-5000iD recorder to "classic mode".

If you use one of the larger transcription services in Australia like our sister company The Transcription People they will have no problems using the DSS Pro .ds2 file format.

If you have any questions on "classic mode" or the Olympus DS-5000 please contact us, we are always happy to help: mailto://sales@dictate.com.au or click the Live Chat button on our website http://www.dictate.com.au/
