Why should I use an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (DVR)?
We are an Authorized Value Reseller for Olympus recorders. Though as an E-Dictate customer, you can use any DVR, Olympus offers professional dictation products, and, we support Olympus DVRs extensively.
Some of the advantages of an Olympus DVR over tape-based products include:
- Portability and large capacity: (up to 22 hours) that allows you to have quality recording for a long time without having to worry about "tape finished ", "wear and tear", etc.
- Ability to track dictations: You can access and backup your dictations easily unlike tape-based recorders. This gives better ability to track information and improves overall productivity of your practice.
- Editing capability: You can insert a sentence between two sentences without erasing or re-recording subsequent dictation.
If I use a DVR to dictate, how will my dictations reach you?
Sending dictations (or uploading audio/voice files) via a digital voice recorder (DVR) to E-Dictate's system is easy.
DVRs store voice files or dictations on removable SmartMedia cards or Flash Memory. To transfer dictations:
• Connect your DVR to a PC with Internet connection via the USB cable provided by Olympus
• The Olympus software ensures audio files are transferred automatically to the PC
• ESS Plus is our software application that transfers dictations securely from customer PC to
E-Dictate servers. Login with your username and password, and follow prompts to send dictations for transcription. A couple of clicks later dictations will be sent, and you are done! Dictations can also be sent under Automatic Mode . E-Dictate Customer Support will help to configure a customer PC for set up and transfer. Read HelpGuides and Quick Start Guides for more information on ESS Plus installation and usage.
Is Internet-based transfer secure and HIPAA compliant?
Today, many companies all over the world use Internet with 128-bit SSL technology to transfer confidential documents reports, etc. E-Dictate also uses secure Internet with 128-bit SSL technology to send dictations and receive transcription reports. The system meets HIPAA's security requirements and is considered secure and reliable by industry experts.
