With Miniature Card Removable
Media
Olympus' new Digital Voice
Recorder, the D1000, packaged with IBM's ViaVoice software, creates a
whole new category of voice recorder. The D1000 combined with IBM's
ViaVoice, and Intel's Flash Memory Miniature Card delivers a powerful
solution for the mobile worker.
Users can dictate memos,
reports, and other types of correspondences into the Olympus D1000
digital voice recorder where it is stored on the Flash Memory Miniature
Card. Once the audio is transferred to the PC, IBM's ViaVoice dictation
product converts the recorded voice into text that can be edited,
formatted and printed, just like any word processor file.
The D1000 will be shipped with
a cable, carrying case, a customized version ViaVoice and a 2MB Intel
Flash Memory Miniature Card and a PC Adapter Card. The removable
miniature card and the Olympus PC Adapter Card (for PCMCIA slots) allows
users to easily move audio files to a PC and conveniently share
information with co-workers. The cable is for installation and
enrollment of a customized version of ViaVoice. An optional Miniature
Card Reader/Writer is available for desktop computer users.
User friendly, the D1000 comes
loaded with many features including a removable flash memory card,
over-write recording, insert recording and LCD information display.
Ultra Compact Design -
measures a mere 4.7" (H) x 1.81" (W) x .091" (D) and
weighs only 6.0 oz. with batteries.
Recording Time - Record in
Standard or Long, by setting the REC TIME switch. STANDARD recording is
16 minutes with a 2MB card and 33 minutes with a 4MB card. LONG
recording is 34 minutes with a 2MB card and 72 minutes with a 4MB card.
If using ViaVoice, you must be recording in the Standard mode. The D1000
comes standard with one 2MB card. Additional 2MB and 4MB cards can be
purchased for increased storage. An 8MB card will be available in the
Spring of '98.
Silent Compression Voice
Activation (SCVA) - A unique silence compression algorithm is
incorporated dynamically selecting one of two bit-rates, depending upon
the incoming speech activity. This new SCVA will allow you to save
additional memory space by coding silence at a lower bit rate.
Large LCD Panel for message
and operating mode display.
Message editing made easy with
three edit features; Over-Write, Insert, and Erase. Digital recording
accommodates an Insert Recording feature not possible in analog
recording. The Insert Recording feature is comparable to the ability to
add text in word-processing software, creating a natural and efficient
way to edit voice recordings.
The Erase feature allows you
to erase each file, part of a document or the whole card. The Write
Protection feature can be used for the entire card or for each file to
prevent accidental erasure.
Interface with a PC with a
PCMCIA card adapter. Files can be transferred to any laptop or desktop
PC which has a PCMCIA slot. Makes e-mailing voice files a reality. An
optional Miniature Card Reader/Writer is available for desktop computer
users.
Fast-forward control will
gradually speed up playback to 96 times normal speed, but will stop
automatically at the end of the file.
