Digital Dictation Recorders
Digital Dictation Recorders are especially well-suited for physicians, attorneys, investigators, and business users where it's a requirement to accurately construct sentences and paragraphs as you go, for later transcription. If you make a mistake, merely rewind, and play forward to that point, then hit Record and continue!
A true “dictation” recorder lets you listen to what you dictated, rewind and replay it, and make any changes to it as you go (“on the fly editing”). You can insert a new sentence in the middle of an old one, overwrite from a certain point onward, or go back to a dictation created earlier in the day and modify or append to it. Digital dictation recorders are perfect for dictating correspondence, reports, observations, or any type of dictation needs. (“Conference” recorders on the other hand, or consumer “note takers” that you see in local stores, are intended to be left in record mode for the entire time, and don’t allow making changes on the fly).
