The Olympus DR -1000 Direct Dictation Device

OLYMPUS DR – 1000 DICTATION KIT

A GADGET REVIEW BY NICHOLAS NEWMAN  24 January 2010

The Olympus DR -1000 Direct Dictation Device is a Dictaphone for the desktop computer. It is designed for those who spend most of their office time chained to the desk. Dictaphones are in common usage in the medical, law enforcement and legal professions. In fact you have probably seen them in use on such popular television shows as NCIS and CSI Miami, where the characters need to keep accurate records to provide evidence for a prosecution.

 The Olympus DR-1000 is ideal for dictating many of the standard documents such as patient notes, voice mail, letters, memos to colleagues and even producing podcasts. Increasingly users working from home, including the visually impaired, best selling authors, students and academics are finding the Olympus DR -1000 a useful tool in the work and study environments. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/Olympusdr1000.htm
