The Olympus DR-1000 can be easily integrated into existing workflow systems offering users a wealth of dictation features. The Directrec DR-1000's stylish, easy to use, slim-line design incorporates innovative features that ensure ease of use for left and right-handed users and the visually impaired. Outstanding quality microphone and speaker technology enables crystal clear recording in a wide range of settings and meeting formats, giving perfect reproduction during playback.

Two Programmable Buttons

Programmable buttons that speed up reaction time increase the DR-1000's flexibility and reliability.
