The Olympus AC-2300 PC Transcription Kit is ideal for transcription of digitally recorded documents. The kit includes DSS Player software, the RS-25 foot pedal, and the E-102 stereo headset. The DSS Player software is used to download DSS files from your Olympus DS or DM series digital recorder.

DSS is an abbreviation for "Digital Speech Standard." It is a standard for digital voice recording set by Olympus and other manufacturers. The standard has been widely adopted and establishes ground rules for compression format of data, file formats, and the storage of media in digital speech recorders. Digital voice recorders manufactured by Olympus save voice recordings in DSS format (.dss file extension) and can be converted to waveform files (.wav) and other formats with the included software. Once converted, recordings can be included on web sites, CD-ROMs, or even as email attachments.

This RS-25 foot pedal controls the playback of a file -- control playback, fast-forward and rewind without taking your fingers off of the keyboard. The E-102 is a headband-type headset that connects to your computer's sound card to privately listen to files rather than through speakers. This kit is an excellent all-in-one transcriber's dream that works great with Olympus and other manufacturers' digital recorders.
