Exactly what we needed! Good sound quality. Easy to use and set up. Love having the foot pedal for transcription! Feedback from Brenda, Michael's Assistant:)

The best part of the Martel hands-free dictation recorder/transcriber is that I wont have to download a file to a pc. We use it in our grand jury hearings and then I can transcribe directly from the recorder by just plugging in the foot pedal. Once this is done it becomes a digital transcriber with headset, you can also set the automatic back space on the foot pedal so it rewinds a word or two for you.

Digital dictation equipment is usually made up of hardware, such as a portable handheld digital dictation recorder machine or a microphone connected to a mac or computer to dictate the dictation and software to receive the recording. Dictation is a much more efficient way to record data than keyboard typing, especially when compared to typing on iphones or tablets. maxium productivity, we can dictate quicker than we can type. Professional dictation has ability to dictate\record, back up and record over parts that were mistakes. Note-taking and Dictation Apps for Lawyers stop and read. The apps are clumsy and require you to have your phone open to the app when dictating. The dictation apps are hard to rewind and find a spot where you need to insert some dictation. The apps are complete useless if you are trying to do more than one thing on the phone like google something and then dictate at the same time. Cheap, discounted, and I would forget about apps as a replacement for portable dictation equipment. you get what you pay for. So if you are dictating more than 30 minutes a day as a lawyer you need to invest in professional dictation equipment.

When I went to buy Digital Dictation / Transcription Equipment I really was not sure what to buy. The next generation of dictation equipment was so confusing. The major brands like Olympus Dictation equipment, Sony Dictation equipment, Philips Dictation equipment and Lanier dictation equipment. So many choices and off shots of the dictation equipment I could hardly read it anymore. Luckily I called Austin at Martel and he explained this dictation\transcription equipment used a foot pedal that plugged into the back of the recorder so we didn't need a computer to transcriber. Now thats very easy to understand and it was allot cheaper than the old Dictaphone dictation equipment we use to buy.

We like this dictation recorder for our firm because it doesn't need a pc to work. I can dictate my letters put it in the docking station and my secretary just plugs the foot pedal in the recorder and transcribes it. simple.
