Olympus transcription kits
The Olympus AS-2700 Transcription Kit and Olympus AS-9000 Transcription Kit provide different transcription-package options. Review the supplied software, controller and headset on the product page before ordering. Software generation, supported file types and operating-system requirements can differ between kits.
A transcription foot control lets the typist operate supported playback functions while keeping their hands on the keyboard. A compatible application is still needed; the foot pedal itself does not transcribe speech into text.
Meeting and courtroom recording
For recording people in a room, review the Olympus Meeting Recorder and the Olympus court-reporter recorder package. Check the exact recorder model, microphone arrangement, power supply and recording settings. Storage duration depends on recording quality and format; choose settings for intelligibility as well as capacity.
Foot controls and headsets
Product information is available for the RS-27 foot control, RS-31 foot control and E-103 transcription headset. Confirm the precise model suffix, connection and software support when replacing an accessory; similar product names do not establish compatibility.
Check an existing Olympus workflow before replacing it
Note the model printed on the recorder, the recording file extension, the transcription application's version and the computer operating system. These details help determine whether you need a complete kit, replacement control or different software. Product listings may remain available for reference when stock is unavailable, so check the current availability shown on each product page.

Common Questions and Answers
What should I check in an Olympus transcription kit?
Read the exact kit listing for its software, license, foot control and headset. Confirm the operating system and file formats you need; packages with similar names can include different components.
Can I use an Olympus foot pedal with any transcription program?
Only if that application supports the exact pedal model and connection. Check software compatibility and configuration before assuming a USB foot control will operate your existing program.
Will transcription software automatically type my recordings?
Playback software helps a typist listen and control audio. Automatic speech recognition is a separate function or service and must be explicitly supported and included for the intended workflow.
How do I check current availability and compatibility?
Use the current Martel product page and provide the recorder model, software edition and version, operating system and sample file type when asking about a replacement or upgrade.
