DS-2700 Details

Low-noise microphone unit

The DS-2700 incorporates low noise omni-directional microphones. The built-in shock absorber covers the microphone unit, reducing handling noise from the body.

Studio grade pop-filter

The microphone housing now includes a triple layered pop-filter, which helps block the wind noise and plosive sounds when speaking into the microphones.

Dictation mode

For classic dictation of your notes or reports, the main microphone will be recording in an omni-directionality mode so that the recorder can be held in any way.

Conference mode

Designed for interviews and small meetings, conference recording controls the directionally of the 2 microphones into a 90° layout, which enables high quality recording in a realistic stereo capture. Regardless of where the person speaking is located or the direction of speech, you can clearly capture the information.

Flexible audio recording formats

The DSS format promises effective compression without compromising quality in digital voice capture. . The digital speech standard (DSS) allows for quick file editing (insert, overwrite, append, erase/cut) and uses meta information (index, verbal comments, worktypes, etc.) to facilitate collaboration and automatic processing. PCM format, with its minimal compression, ensures exceptional quality as well as compatibility with a variety of playback tools. Simultaneously, the widely utilized MP3 format serves as an excellent choice for storing consumer audio and enables easy transfer/playback of music on digital audio players.

Noise activated recording with VCVA

The VCVA function efficiently manages memory by pausing recording during quiet intervals and automatically restarting when it detects sound exceeding a preset threshold. This feature optimizes playback efficiency and prolongs recording time.

Index marks

While recording or playing back, you have the flexibility to insert up to 32 Index Marks into an audio file. These marks act as handy indicators, helping you identify crucial or noteworthy segments of your dictation.

Insert and overwrite recording modes

Unlock different recording options with the DS-2700. Use Insert mode to seamlessly add recordings into existing audio files without the need for additional addendums. Overwrite mode enables you to record over previous dictation at any chosen point. Lastly, Append mode effortlessly adds a new recording to the end of an existing file. With the addition of the New File creation button, you don’t need to start a new recording until you are ready.

Resilient in everyday dictation

The DS-2700 showcases a strong and durable design, ensuring its resilience. Rigorous tests have shown its ability to withstand falls of up to 1.5m without impacting recording capabilities.

Dragon Professional V16 Details

Dragon Professional V16 is optimised for Windows 11

A decided benefit to Nuance having been acquired by Microsoft in March of 2022 is the unprecedented access to Microsoft development assets it afforded the Dragon engineering team.

Best in-class accessibility

Long known for its state-of-the-art adaptations for those with physical and cognitive disabilities, Dragon's latest upgrade furthers its commitment to the disability inclusion movement with new features like the ability to use Mouse Grid on multiple monitors. And built with accessibility requirements in mind, Dragon can be easily adapted as needed to meet the most stringent compliance requirements for accessibility or industry reporting. The new Dragon Professional 16 is perfect for helping organizations of all sizes take full advantage of their workforce and for building an inclusive workplace.

• Mouse Grid on multiple monitors is critical in increasing the efficiency for these with physical disabilities working with a large amount of information
