Olympus DS-9500 Released In Australia With Updated ODMS R7 Dictation Module for Windows 10

New Olympus DS-9500 launched in Australia, professional digital dictaphone for both dictation and meeting/interview recording. Replacing the ageing DS-7000 the new DS9500 comes with a new sleeker casing, the usual docking station and Windows 10 and MacOS compatibility.

Also announced was a major release for ODMS (Olympus Dictation Management System) software for Windows 10, both dictation module and transcription module taking the software from release ODMS R6 to release 7 or ODMS R7.

The new Olympus Australia DS-9500 will also be accompanied by a new professional transcription kit, the AS-9000 (which replaces the AS-7000) and will come with the new ODMS R7 transcription module software for Windows 10, new redesigned transcription headset and transcription foot pedal.

Mac users, no information yet on an update for the DSS Player Plus v7 software for Mac yet, although we are sure something will happen in this space in 2018.

Like all Olympus digital voice recorders, the new Olympus DS-9500 produces high-quality audio that can also be used with Dragon for Windows or Dragon for Mac voice recognition software from Nuance.

The Olympus DS9500 records in DSS Pro (.ds2) and older DSS (.dss) audio formats. New though to the top of the range dictaphone is recording in mp3 or PCM wav meaning the recorder can also be used for meeting/interview/conference recording, a good move by Olympus and reduces the pro dictation range down from three recorders (DS-7000 / DS-3500 / DS-2500) to just the one new Olympus Australia DS-9500.

New with the Olympus DS-9500 is wifi connectivity, a new way to send files along with the usual USB connection via the supplied dock.
