This review of the Olympus DS 500 aims to be comprehensive of its many different features. However, rather than going into all the specifics, it will be more of a general overview in order to hit upon as many points as possible.

This recorder works well for a variety of purposes. Whether you need it to record legal dictation or medical, the Olympus DS 5000 can get the job done. You need to use Olympus transcription software if you want to get the full use and functionality out of your recorder.

The Olympus transcription software helps you with data sharing, so you can distribute your dictations off your recorder. This software is especially helpful because you can easily file your recordings in one easy place. Another great benefit is that you can add subfolders, which is great for organization purposes.

The Olympus DS 5000 is a professional alternative if you are tired of dealing with inferior products. It offers a slide switch, which is very easy to use. This switch is very quiet, so it does not interrupt your work.
One of the best features of this recorder is that there are three different programmable buttons. You can take your three most used functions and apply them to these buttons, keeping everything easy and personalized.

The cradle of the recorder also does more than simply act as a dock. Of course, it will recharge everything for you, but it will let your record without your hands as well. It will quickly download data to your computer, so you do not need to worry about it.

Perhaps the best thing about the Olympus DS 5000 is that it is compatible with all systems. Whether you work on an Apple Mac or you run on Windows, you are all set to go. If you have a different work and home computer, you can use this recorder on both.

The recorder allows for easy editing. You can overwrite old files, insert in the middle of a recording, erase files or even only do a partial erasing. Overall, it is a very easy system to learn, and very easy to use.
