Recommend a recording device? - soofie

Posted: Oct 03, 2011

One of my clients is going digital (finally) and looking for a good dictation device. Can anyone recommend good ones and perhaps warn me what NOT to buy? Thanks in advance.

Just be sure to buy a digital audio recorder that is capable of a USB connection for transferring audio files to the computer. They start at around 50 to 60 bucks at places like Office Depot.

Make sure that they don't get a consumer line, they are awful (for real dictation), they don't last very long either. The professional ones (like Philips 9500, 9600 & Olympus DS-5000) have a slide lever that makes it quick and easy for the dictators to move through the functions. Also, these models have the ability to stay in the same document while the dictators play back and editing. The consumer models don't, they create a new file each time you stop, listen and start recording again (very bad).

I got a detailed list of pros & cons from MooreDictation.com when I was looking for equipment like you. I just love how much help they gave me.

I hope this helps!

Great recording device advice - soofie

Thanks AngieGT! My doc is still shopping around but the slide and file information is invaluable.
Anyone have opinion on Sony devices?

Seriously, I wonder if there is a way to record these dictations. I would LOVE to hear for myself the "errors" QA/QC are always finding and putting into Fiesa. The fact that we are not provided with proof of these "errors" really concerns me. Please Nuance bigwigs, prove to me that QA/QC isn't making things up or hearing things wrong. Really, are we to believe that we are the only ones making mistakes, that they always have perfect hearing? I want proof! ...

I have to transcribe something that was recorded WITHOUT benefit of a transcription program. It's just a recording (I think it's on the Internet right now). It wasn't recorded via any sort of transcription program that I can sync up with a foot pedal, and it wasn't recorded on a tape or anything. Does anybody know if there's a way that I can use my foot pedal to transcribe this? (I really HATE to transcribe it without use of a foot pedal - obviously, it's going to t ...
