Olympus Voice Recorders

DS-320 Digital Voice Recorder

The DS-320 Digital Voice Recorder (now Mac compatible) is a compact, easy-to-use recorder providing over 5 hours of high-quality recording time and featuring IBM's® ViaVoiceTM version 8.0 speech recognition software for simple speech-to-text conversion in a PC. These speech files can be quickly downloaded by simply connecting the recorder to your computer with the provided serial or optional USB data transfer kit and selecting the files you wish to download. With the DS-320, you can record speech files without even using your hands. The Voice activation mode begins recording as soon as the microphone senses sound for "hands-free" operation. It also gives you the option of choosing between two different microphone settings (high and low) for voice activation so it begins recording only when you want it to.
