Re: digital recorder for the mentally challenged?

Of course, with that one you'll end up with five patients in one file instead of one patient in five files. ;-) One of my offices uses that one, and it drives me nuts when they have a stat dictation, but I can't find it because it's in the middle of several patients on one file. Thank goodness it doesn't happen too often, but I sure wasted a lot of time before I realized that happened quite often.
As a side note, I've also noticed that the .DSS files sound really bad in Express Scribe making it difficult to work even the most familiar account. There's probably a work-around for it other than converting everything to ..wav files, but if you go with the Olympus and don't use their dictation software, you might want to look into it beforehand.

The Olympus DS-2300 has a dedicated button you have to push to create
a new file, unlike the DS-2 which automatically creates a new file
every time you push the Stop button. It has the removeable media and
it also allows you to edit files on the recorder, i.e., rewind and
listen to something you've dictated and then overwrite or insert,
etc. The one thing it doesn't have is a docking station, you can
either plug it in directly to the PC with a USB cable or use a media
card reader.

Ok, one of the people I transcribe (guess who) is unable to consistently use
our Sanyo digital recorders without breaking a single dictation into
multiple files, creating new folders instead of new files, etc., etc.

I need a recommendation for a SIMPLE digital recorder. It needs to have a
removable memory card (preferably an SD card, but other cards would be OK),
and it needs to record in a file format compatible with Express Scribe.

Any help would be appreciated.
