The Olympus DS-2500 digital voice recorder packs many popular features of Olympus’ professional dictation systems into an accessible, easy-to-use recorder. It’s the ideal solution for any office that relies on accurate, small-scale dictation and transcription, as well as individuals who need professional-level recording capabilities at the push of a button.

Simple file management, with five internal folders and easy USB connection to computers running Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 or Mac OSX “The Olympus DS-2500 gives every user access to some of the most innovative features on the market,” said Amy Leslie, Senior Marketing and Business Development Manager, Olympus Imaging America, Inc. “It’s capable of handling complex professional tasks in any IT environment, but it’s still incredibly intuitive and simple to use right out of the box.”
