Olympus Voice Recorders


DS-2000 Digital Voice Recorder

The DS-2000 (now Mac compatible) supports removable SmartMedia™ cards for up to 22 hours of recording time (on a 64MB SmartMedia card) and makes downloading speech files to a PC quick and easy, especially if the DS-2000 is directly attached via the included USB cable. For additional ease-of-use, the SmartMedia card can be removed and its contents downloaded to a PC using a number of SmartMedia download devices.  Aside from the SmartMedia capability, the DS-2000 is equipped with other features helping to enhance productivity such as two recording modes - SP and LP depending on your needs - and an LCD panel display to check recording mode, remaining recording time, and date and time. There's also a Microphone Sensitivity Selector and voice activation for hands-free recording.
