Olympus digital recorder info please

Hi everyone,

Two of my clients are requesting that I get my computer set up to accept
voice files for transcription. Both of these clients are fairly high volume
and split their work with me and other MTs. They are both currently using
my phone-in system. One of these clients is using an Olympus digital
recorder model 2002; the other has both an Olympus 3000 and 4000 recorder.
Since this is all new to me, I have questions, which I hope someone can help
me with:

1. What did you have to do to, buy or install in your computer to make this
system work for you? My computer runs Windows 98.

2. What was the approximate cost to you in getting this system up and
running?

3. Did anything have to be done to your doctor's computer so that his/yours
are compatible? Since both of these docs already use the Olympus recorder
with other MTs, can I assume their computers will be compatible with mine
automatically?

4. Did you pay the cost to get the doc's computer compatible with yours?
Or is he expected to bear this cost on his end?

5. How are you sending your finished work back to the doc so that it is
encrypted and HIPAA compliant?

6. I have heard that the finished work can be sent either through e-mail or
through an FTP server. What are you using and what should I be looking
into? One appears to be without cost, the other fairly expensive.

7. Were you able to get this system up and running by yourself, or did you
have to have someone come in and set it up for you? If so, who do you call?
Computer tech? Transcription machine company serviceman? (I'm in Los
Angeles)

I'm looking for the easiest and least expensive way to go on this whole
project (I'm a one-person operation)and would appreciate any information you
may have and/or any web sites to visit that may have more information. All
I've been able to find online are web sites selling the recorders or
transcription packages. Thanks.
