OLYMPUS Dictation for iPhone

I used the free version and it was great. Olympus then moved to a licensed fee-based platform where the emails then went through their servers, instead of mine. That’s when it stopped working. The files arrived at my office unreadable. I contacted Olympus who referred me to a local sales agent, who where honest enough to say they had no resources from Olympus to make it work. I still use Olympus dictation hardware in the office, but they really pooched this rollout. I am shopping for a replacement and hope to find a new company that can service this sector effectively.

Not intuitive as to what various settings do. The new recording mode self terminates after one second so I can't record any more than "testing, test...." Needs much more work to be useful.

The concept of this is great - dictate on the go and send to your transcriptions. I even spent $110 for an annual subscription to use the app. Unfortunately, the app crashes every time I try to open it. Can someone please fix this?

Ever since I updated my iPhone to 15.6.1 it will not open or load. Fix it!

I was looking into this for my boss because he needs a new Dictaphone I thought this might be a better way as he already has an iPhone. However after seeing the reviews I guess will go a different route. Olympus you really need to think about changing your policy on this.

I’d rather pay for this app then the data migration system they implemented. This use to be the best recorder app now it’s trash because they make you migrate your recording to there server and charge several hundred dollars to maintain account. DO NOT USE they ruined a good app for no reason other than to line their pocket books.

As you can tell by reviews - the app is not problematic, but Olympus apparently still thinks it is a good business idea to charge people $300-$500 for a dictation system and then ask users to pay more money to enjoy the convenience of sending a dictation file from this app to their own assistant. For anyone purchasing an Olympus dictation recorder / system - this app should be free to use. Hopefully, someone at Olympus will realize that a 2 star rating means that most people agree that Olympus dropped the ball on this and said “screw you” to its customers. I’ll stick to the physical recorder for now that doesn’t cost me a anything to send a recording to my own assistant. Philips’ app is doing far better than Olympus In ratings because Philips realizes that customer feedback is important. Olympus sits back and does nothing while it continues to rip off its consumers with this app where you, the user, are actually charged by Olympus to send a recording to your own assistant. Wake up, Olympus.

Great app for someone who dictates on the go.

Why pay a monthly fee to route dictation through your server? Email worked just fine. Charge a one time fair price for the app and I’m good. Olympos now charging significant recurring fees for a minimal product.

Encryption feature in this app provides highly secured dictations
