Introducing the new Olympus DS-9000 Professional Dictation System
The Intelligent Dual Microphone System controls the directionality of each microphone to actively monitor and analyse the phase difference while recording and suppressing noise from surroundings, enhancing the recorded voice. This keeps the focus on the person dictating and suppresses ambient noise in offices, hospitals, cars, airports and other noisy environments. This also makes the Olympus DS9000 digital voice recorder an ideal partner for Dragon Professional and Dragon Legal speech recognition systems.
For conference recording, the system controls the directionally of the two microphones into a 90° layout to accurately capture all presenters in conference rooms.
A triple-layer, studio-quality pop filter ensures accurate voice capture while reducing unwanted sounds such as breath and wind vibrations, for superior accuracy that enhances workflow efficiency.
The Olympus DS-9000’s rugged 1.5 meters shockproof, the alcohol-wipe resistant body is designed to be a strong, dependable workhorse in heavy use environments. A durable optical slide switch reduces the risk of mechanical failure.
Complete with reliable security features like 256-bit file encryption with DSS Pro audio codec and device pin lock, the DS-9000 provides trusted security to your most sensitive information and meets standards set by governments worldwide for securing data.
Olympus Dictation Management System Release 7 (ODMS R7) Software
Included with the Olympus DS-9000 Professional Dictation Recorder is the Olympus Dictation Management System Release 7 software (ODMS R7), is the virtual coordinator at the heart of the Olympus Dictation Solution. The ODMS R7 suite has been designed to
provide an intuitive and user-friendly experience capable of handling new efficient workflows in a scalable solution that meets the needs of offices small and large.

The Olympus DS-9000 give you everything you need for professional dictation. Partner with the latest professional transcription - the Olympus AS-9000 - and you have a complete end-to-end dictation & transcription solution.
Enhanced Speech Recognition Accuracy by Intelligent Dual Microphone System
The new DS-9000 incorporates low noise omnidirectional microphones and Shock Resistant Mounting which reduces touch noise from your hand. The Triple-Layer Pop-Filter blocks the wind noise when talking into the microphones. Speech recognition accuracy is dependent on the signal-to-noise ratio of the recording, which means achieving clearer voice and lower noise are the two key factors. The Beam Forming function works to suppress noise from surroundings, enhancing the voice. Strong directionality is achieved through the Intelligent Dual Microphone System which actively monitors and analyses the phase difference while recording. Users can choose three different modes, Dictation for Quiet Environment, Dictation for Noisy Environment and Conference Recording mode.
Enhanced Security
The DS-9000 256-bit AES encryption system protects data from illegal access. This is supported when recording in the DSS pro format. This encryption standard meets high-security standards set by governments worldwide. In addition to securing the data, the DS-9000 device lock feature protects the device from unauthorized access by utilizing a 4 digit PIN code.
Full Workflow Integration
Packaged with next-generation Olympus Dictation Management System (ODMS) software and compatible with Nuance Dragon speech recognition software, the DS-9000 is designed to become an essential part of any office’s dictation workflow directly out of the box. Support for up to 32 index marks per dictation file makes it easy to locate critical information.
Endless Flexibility
A vast array of functions and accessories, audio codecs and indexing options, as well as support for multiple work types and users, makes the DS-9000 customisable enough to suit any purpose, in any IT environment.
