The problem seems to be around the conversion of the native audio format recorded on the pro dictaphones - .DS2 - when converted to a format required by the transcription module in Dragon Dictate 3.
The error when loading the file for transcription is:
The file "filename", cannot be transcribed
Dictate cannot use files with sampling rates below 22.050 kilohertz.
Olympus' own software for the Mac, DSS Player Plus version 7, only converts .DS2 audio files to 16 kHz audio files, Dragon Dictate 3 requires 22 kHz audio.
We have contacted our people at Olympus in Sydney and have advised them of what we have found. I understand the Olympus audio development team are now also aware of this issue and will be looking at a possible upgrade to the DSS player plus version 7 software in the near future.
There is a way to convert the .DS2 to audio files to 22 kHz audio and that is using the Sonority software which is supplied with the higher end digital voice and meeting recorders from Olympus (like the DS-3/DS-5/LS-3/LS-10 etc). However, this software is not easily found as an online download and we are working with the Olympus to see if this can be made freely available.
