Olympus offers business users a choice of instinctive digital dictation devices with its desk-based Directrec Series. The Olympus DR-2000 can be easily integrated into existing workflow systems offering users a wealth of dictation features. The Directrec DR-2000'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.

The combination of simplicity and innovation which has been packed into the Olympus Directrec Series sets the machines apart from their rivals. The DR-2000 is operated using a slide switch -- a familiar interface for those who are used to high-end voice recorders. A neat symmetrical design makes the DR-2000 just as simple for both left and right-handed users; while optional audible "command beeps" ensure the recorder is equally useful for the visually impaired.

The Olympus Directrec DR-2000 delivers a stunning performance -- a highly sensitive microphone ensures that every detail is recorded, whether the device is being used from a distance or at a conference. Because the DR-2000 records straight to a PC, there is no need to worry about storage capacity or purchasing additional accessories. The DR-2000 also provides exceptional playback performance. The innovative design ensures that the speaker is not obstructed by the user's hand when in use. The device is equipped with a speaker capable of operating at a high volume, enhancing performance when recording in a noisy environment.

True Slide Switch Control

The DR-2000's "true slide switch" is contoured to the thumb for smooth control of record, stop, play and review functions all with the same switch.

Highly Sensitive Microphone

The Directrec DR-2000 delivers stunning performance -- a highly sensitive, built-in omni directional microphone ensures that every detail is recorded, whether the device is being used from a distance or at a conference.

Improved Microphone System Reduces Extraneous Noise

New and improved microphone system reduces extraneous sounds such as wind or machine noise created while recording and thus enabling a higher quality of sound recording than ever before.

Adjustable Microphone Sensitivity Levels

Microphone sensitivity can be easily adjusted to suit the recording conditions (dictation/conference) using the included DSS Player or DSS Player Pro software.

Ergonomic Design

New design and location of buttons enables single-handed control without ever having to visually check the placement of function buttons. Directrec fits easily into your hand providing effortless control coupled with superb dictation experience. A neat symmetrical design makes the DR-2000 just as simple for both left and right-handed users; while optional audible "command beeps" ensure the recorder is equally useful for the visually impaired. They can be turned on or off according to your preference.

Three Programmable Buttons

Programmable buttons that speed up reaction time increase the DR-2000's flexibility and reliability. Instead of having more buttons than necessary, the DR-2000 allows users to program the functions they use the most onto one rear button and two front A and B buttons. The functions include: Index Mark, Insert/Overwrite, Priority, launching an external program and more.

In addition to the programmable buttons, further functionality can be supported by combining any button on the DR-2000 with the Shift or Ctrl key on your computer's keyboard. This function is supported by the included DSS Player software.

Easy Editing

The Directrec DR-2000 allows for easy editing of existing recordings by appending, overwriting, inserting, and erasing or partial-erase of recording.

Up to 16 Index Marks Per File

Particularly relevant moments in an interview, briefing or lecture may be flagged -- either during or after recording -- using the index marks for quick retrieval. Up to 16 index marks can be set in a file.

Included DSS Player Pro Software

The included user-friendly DSS Player Pro software facilitates the archiving, editing and further processing of the recordings. Enjoy easy file management and other benefits to help you streamline your workflow with this intuitive software. Improved DSS Player Pro software provides automatic download and backup of recordings; automatic distribution of recordings via email or FTP to other users; direct recording onto your PC; managing and changing settings on your recorder; playing and editing of recordings on your PC; and automatic retrieval of typed documents and much more.

Records in DSS (Digital Speech Standard) Format

DR-2000 can save a recording as a file on a PC in DSS (Digital Speech Standard) format, developed primarily to meet dictation and transcription needs. Two recording modes, SP (Standard Playback) mode and LP (Long Playback) mode are available.

Professional Grade USB Cable

Professional grade USB cable is 10 times more durable (more than 20,000 operations in an Olympus durability test) than a standard USB cable.

Firmware Updates Possible

DR-2000 firmware can be easily updated to provide additional features or product enhancement.
