The dictating person holds a mobile dictation set in the hand, he can record, spool, set index markers, speak over passages, etc. The classical replay station will be replaced by the PC. The DSS player software for replay of dictations is installed on the PC. This software will be operated by the secretary by means of foot switch, the headphones are plugged in to the corresponding exit of the audio adapter. Furthermore digital dictation sets offer a lot of additional possibilities, such as inserting, putting ahead, adding of passages as well as the possibility to archive dictations durably or send by mail/network.

The files are saved in the dss format (digital speech standard) which is used among other things by Grundig and Olympus. The high compressed record method (like mp3) provides crystal-clear sound quality at acceptable file sizes. You record either on changeable SmartMedia-Cards or on internal flash memories which are transferred to the PC by means of cable.

The dss player can also play wave files. You can also change your dss files in Wave by means of “Save as…", but not vice versa.

All files which you have transferred from a dictation set with PC connection on the PC, you can send by email, but also archive, burn on CD, etc. The addressee needs the dss player software to be able to listen to the files.
