Olympus is currently the only dictation manufacturer to offer full support for the Mac environment. Everything you require to use your device on a Mac can be found here.

Devices such as the DS-75, DS-65 and LS-10 are ideal companions and suitable for recording music, meetings, interviews and lectures.

DSS Player v7 with a native Mac GUI appearance will provide you with all the functionality needed to download, edit, store and transcribe your recorded audio.

Many Olympus devices are able to record in a variety of audio formats including MP3, WMA and PCM. To use Olympus voice products to their maximum potential, you will need to ensure you are running the latest applications on your Mac.
