Amazing product, suitable for digital voice recorders

When I was assigned to transcribe five 2 hour digitally recorded sessions I knew I needed help. I was very pleased that the Olympus digital voice recorder has a matching transcription set. It's amazingly easy to use and I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Playback Format: DSS Pro / DSS / PCM (WAV) / MP3 / WMA
Cons
  • No Instructions

but it helps me well to move forward and backward.

This kit works very well. I still play around with the features, but they do the job well, allowing me to jump back and forth through dictation, slowing down my speech for difficult words or phrases, and adjusting the volume for better understanding.

Pros
  • Includes: CD with DSS Player transcription software, RS27 foot pedal and E102 headset
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Mac software functionality is limited

I bought this in October 2015. Most software features don't work with Mac, it only works with Olympus proprietary files but doesn't mention it. If you upgrade to El Capitan, you'll need to update your software to make it work at all. Here is the link http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/software_results.asp?id=1620&os=mOlympus says they only guarantee software purchased from them.

Pros
  • Footswitch allows you to control playback without taking your hands off the keyboard
Cons
  • Big and chunky
