• The Intelligent Two-microphone System utilizes the omni-directional microphones, analyzing phase differences from sound sources. Using our unique Audio Beamforming algorithms, the DS-9100 suppresses sound from specific directions, reducing noise from the back and sides significantly, focusing on the speaker during dictation. This dramatically improves sound quality for speech recognition, even in challenging environments.
• 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 various positions.
• 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.
• Supported audio 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

With the addition of the New File creation button, you don’t need to start a new recording until you are ready.

• Audio file security is crucial for medical and legal industries due to the sensitive nature of the information they handle. In healthcare, patient confidentiality is paramount to comply with HIPAA regulations, safeguarding patient data from unauthorized access.

Ensuring audio file security protects sensitive information, maintains trust, and prevents legal liabilities.
