Wi-Fi Capability
Wi-Fi capability allows you to send dictation immediately to your transcriptionist without a USB cable, docking station, or computer. Status of transcription files can be checked on the DS-9500.
Dual-Microphone Setup
Intelligent dual-microphone technology optimizes the directionality and noise-canceling system for different environments. Use narrow directionality for accurate voice capture of a subject in a noisy space. Use wide stereo directionality to increase the pick-up area and record multiple subjects in a room.
Integrated Pop Filter
The integrated triple-layer pop filter reduces wind and breath noise for cleaner, more distinguishable recordings.
Shockproof Body
The reliable body design is shockproof up to 4.9' and enhances the lifespan of the DS-9500. An optical slide switch reduces the risk of mechanical failure. The body is also resistant to damage from alcohol wipes.
Security
AES 256-bit file encryption with the DSS Pro audio codec and a device pin lock provide additional content security.
Multiple Recording Formats
Record in DSS, DSS Pro, WAV, or MP3 file format according to desired recording time and quality settings. Take advantage of voice-activated recording, adjustable microphone sensitivity, and full-duplex recording with headphones. You can even insert, overwrite, append, or partially erase files!
Advanced Features
Utilize up to ten author IDs, 20 work types, selectable priority, verbal comments, and per-file index marks. Play in slow, normal, or fast speed, adjust volume, and cue/review.
