Medical practitioner
This transcription system was working well for me until recently. Olympus seem to have had major issues with their server and this has meant dictations have not been able to be sent and/or received from the app. After a number of days of the app not working it was apparently “fixed” and has stopped working again. There has to be a major question over the reliability of this system. The convenience of your using your phone for dictation is compromised by the potential for poor reliability of their server. Think twice.
Update: their “fix” lasted all of a few days and the app has stopped working again. Look for an alternative solution for a dictation app.
Licensing confusing
Was a great app until the trial period is over and then they try to charge you... why should we pay a fee if our typist is only listening to an audio file? I’m not actually using you to transcribe my documents. Will be deleting the app.
Hope you go back to the original
Stop changing things!
This was a great free app! Unfortunately, they changed it, so it records in a format my typist has to pay for yet more software to listen to. Then they charge you a license - sorry, I’m stopping using it!
Great product lacking only one feature
This app is fantastic overall. It is simple and effective. However, I use outlook as my email client on my iPhone, and I would like to email my dictations via outlook. However, unlike an application by a rival company, this application does not allow it. One can only send one’s dictations via Apple Mail.
If this is fixed, in my opinion, this product would be the best smart phone dictation application on the market.
Useless if you have a pc
It records in m4p format so useless with a pc
Mobile Dictation That Links With ODMS
This app does work - it requires the Olympus ODDS subscription service to enable the audio formats dss and ds2 and to encrypt you audio, essential for confidential dictation sent over the internet.
This isn't just another voice recorder or dictaphone app. Sure you can record your voice and email it in generic m4a format plus insert or overwrite audio. But this app comes into its own when used with an ODDS (Olympus Dictation Delivery Service) subscription.
ODDS opens up the "server" configuration on the app and allows you to record .ds2 or .dss audio, encrypted on the iPhone itself. You can then email or transfer the files via the ODDS cloud server to your ODMS transcription module used by your transcription typists. The audio will also include meta data like your Author ID and Worktype.
Also, if you have a new DS-7000 Air or DS-3500 Air digital dictaphone (or a standard DS-7000/DS-3500 with firmware v1.20 and a FlashAir card) you can wirelessly transfer audio from your pro recorder to your iPhone and send them via the app.
So there is a bit more to this app than you may realise. Search for "Dictate ODDS Australia" for more info on that feature.
