Olympus DS4000 disk

Posted By: Barbara on 2007-04-04
In Reply to:

I bought a DS4000 digital recorder brand new on ebay last year. I just got a new account who is interested in going digital and when I opened it up the disk is cracked. I have the license number to register the software I just need a copy of the software. If anyone can copy or send the original and I will return the next day please email me at bsptss at aol dot com, I'll gladly pay any associated costs.


Thanks


Barbara

Found the original post about the Olympus WS110 - do I need olympus software to convert the files?

nm


disk
 BOS 2 recommends disk (pg.140)
Disk it is thanks
Thank you
disk
About 1999 when I worked in house, we got an AMA article that said they preferred disk.
If MDI goes by BOS, BOS says disk for both. nm

She will need to get the disk...sm

from it's owner to transfer the voice files from the handheld to the computer. 


Olympus
The small company I work for uses the Olympus system.  The owner told me it costs about $600 per doctor.  She provided the software to the transcriptionists and the doctors.  We each purchased a wave pedal ($69).  The doctors have recorders.  The office manager sends the dss files via e-mail to the Transcriptionist as an attachment with a cc to the owner. The transcriptionist does the work and e-mails it back to the doctor with a cc to the owner. The program encrypts the file, so that the transcriptionist and the doctor has to use the same software.

I have an Olympus and it was around 200. I simply love it. The guy at the store said Olympus quality is one of the best in cameras. I was looking at Sony because I like Sony products but he said in cameras they are not tops.
Olympus DS-10

The Olympus DS-10 will not allow the docs to tape over what they record.  I had to get this for one my docs who kept taping over everything.  They get very upset when the tape over everything.

Olympus
has hand-held units that he can dictate into just like he does with his tapes. He then plugs it into his computer and it uploads. He then sends you the file, like an e-mail. It is pretty simple. My old-time docs handle it pretty well. Good luck.
Olympus

I think the editing capabilities they are referring to means that the doctor can go back into a recording he has already done, like into the middle of it, and insert something he forgot.  If I were you, I would NOT get one that allows this.  I started out giving my docs the DS330, which has editing capabilites.  On several occasions they ended up overwriting their recording completely or inserting things in the wrong place and overwriting portions of the recording.  It was a NIGHTMARE.  If you have docs who are very careful, it may not be a problem, but my docs are not careful at all with these things.  Then they got upset at the recorder and at me!  Oh brother.... Anyway, they eventually got used to the recorders and have been using them now for years with no more problems with overwriting.  But in the beginning they had a rough time.


Now I give out the Olympus DS2, which does not have editing capabilites and have had none of the above problems.  Docs use it with ease and there is no worry of overwriting a file.  If I were you, I'd go with the DS2.  The DS330 is discontinued anyway.  Good luck.


I use Olympus DSS

The client set me up with it, and I only have experience with the transcription units, although I know the dictation units have docking stations that send the voice files to the computer.


I checked and one transcription unit runs around $400, although you can find it a little bit cheaper if you look hard enough.


Hope this helps.


Yes, it's an Olympus WS-100. sm
Thanks for responding. No software came with it, as it is a USB port that acts like a regular driver. I'm looking for Microsoft Explorer, but come up with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Olympus
I have all my physician's using Olympus recorders also. Not too expensive, great Olympus support and very easy to operate.
I have an Olympus DM-1 and you only need
a cable to upload voice files to the computer. In fact, I lost the original software that came with the unit, but Windows automatically detects the connection and opens an upload window as soon as I connect the USB cable and turn on the unit. The rest I don't know about, but I do know you can upload the voice files with *only* the USB cable that fits the handheld unit...

Olympus
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.  I don't have Olympus software, just the free download that is call DSS Player Lite.  I guess that doesn't have a converter in it, I didn't see one.  I have since downloaded other software to try and play this file and nothing will.  I guess I may just have to break down and buy some software since the free stuff isn't working?? 
Olympus

I had purchased the same model and found that you could not tape over anything the physician had already dictated.  It is for taping conferences, meetings, etc. 


Olympus DDS
I just took a job with a 6-doc neurology practice. They are months behind on dictation as the docs stopped covering the hospital and instead now see patients daily in the office. Dictation is behind 3 months. They have Olympus DDS. All docs have different way of doing their notes. We do new patient notes, office visits, as well as EEG, EMG, transcranial dopplers, carotid ultrasounds, and the docs all want their own way. We are swamped. The former transcriptionists quit. The office is not technologically saavy, and neither am I. But I do know the situation is critical. Should we get a new system that would require docs compromising on a single template for each note, or use the current Olympus DDS system and work with the doctors on templates? There has got to be a better way..We are drowning. Thanks for any suggestions. Office manager is looking to us (3 MTs) for the solution.
Try Olympus WS 110
My docs are using the Olympus WS 110.  It is available at the local office supply stores and is no too terribly pricey.  This account didn't want to spend any extra money for equipment but this recorder is fantastic compared to the cassettes they were using.  I think it runs around $70. 
Disc or disk--
I really don't have time to search archives EVERYWHERE.....I tried and am only now more confused.  I cannot afford an AAMT BOS--please we are arguing with our doctor--tell me, is it disk or disk and what page is it on in the BOS?????
Disk or disc
same meaning on both is this just a preferance?
Disc/disk - sm
I agree - disc for bone, disk for eye...been doing it that way for 25+years, never heard any different.
Disc v Disk
I have been told AAMT is disk for vertebrae and disc for eyes. However in the hospital I worked for on-site it was disk for vertebrae and many hospitals I've worked for want disk. Personally I don't understand this ridiculousness in MT work, as both are actually correct. So bottom line is -- ask for a/c you are working on. LOL
disc and disk
I vote for what the BOS-2 says regardless of the negative posts here. Look at the book and you won't have to post these types of questions here.
Can I copy IT onto a CD or disk?

I have company issued computer with IT.  I would like to know if I could move IT to a CD or disk so that I can put it on my personal computer.  I have greatly expanded the glossary to cover my area of expertise over the last one year and do not want to lose this.  In fact, I think I would break down and cry if I did.  Plus, am thinking of taking on a PT job and would like to utilize this IT on my other computer.


Thank you.


You can only put the glossaries onto a disk..sm

For copyright protection, IT restricts itself from being able to be copied onto a disk and installed onto another computer. The only way to install it is to use the installation disk.


The glossaries, however, can be backed up onto a seperate disk, just not the actual program itself.


Technically, the hospital owns the license so installing it on a personal computer would violate the license agreement. If you would like to have it on your own computer, it is recommended to purchase your own copy so you don't have to worry about anything with the license agreement.


Run disk c;lean up
It will do all of that automatically and let you decide what you want to do and defrag if necessary, take out unused prpgrams and let you know how much space you can get if you clean it up.  Also check the property of yur C drive to see how much space you have left.  Should be doing weekly checks on your hard drive.
PRD+ - can someone email it to me? My disk is bad
Hi, can someone email me the PRD+ program? My disc and program which I've used for 15+ years has apparently died before I could transfer it to CD.  Thanks!
Disk Defragmenter?
Do you think you might be thinking of defragmenting your disk and then it telling you which files were "fixed"?  Because that is under System Tools.  Just wondering what operating system you had on the old computer.  I have XP on my laptop and 2000 on my old computer and both have the same options on system tools.  Just a guess. 
Disc or Disk
I still type disc and either is correct.  But, I think BOS says type disk.
The BOS3 does not come with a disk.
That way they can charge an annual fee for their internet-based reference package.
I use Olympus Player every day and like it SM
much better Express Scribe!
Olympus DM-1 recorder
Please email me and I'll send a detailed description.

:)
Anyone familiar with Olympus DS-30?

I need to find digital recorders for a few doctors.  I am looking at the DS 30, but want to make sure its a decent recorder, but don't want to spend too much $$.  They want to email me the digital files--so I was wondering if this recorder is pretty easy to use/set up?


Thanks for any info


Olympus DSS system

I have a potential new client that is using an Olympus DSS system they tell me.  My question is can I just use Express Scribe to play these or would I need to purchase the something like the Olympus AS-400 system to play their files?


Thanks!


Thanks! Is a DH-10 Olympus? I'll look that one up
as well as the 3000 and see which one might work better for me.  Do they both have good sound quality?  I just need something basic he can walk around the ofifce with and dictate after each patient and that I can swap cards out to bring the dictation home.  I assume they both work with basic files that Express Scribe plays, like .wav, .dss, etc.?  I'd be interested in hearing the price on the 3000 if they're offering a deal.  I don't know yet if the doc will buy the transcriber or if I'll have to make the investment myself.  Thanks so much!
My doc uses Olympus WS110
It was around $70, and the recorder comes apart and it actually IS a memory stick. The sound quality is AWESOME. It sounds like surround sound and it's clear as a bell.
Olympus 2300
Please someone give me some info on the Olympus 2300.  I am going to work from home for a doctor who uses this to dictate.  Do I need special software to be able to transcribe the voice files?  The doctor doesn't know because his previous service set him up.  I truly appreciate any help I can get on this board!
anyone use Olympus player?? sm

I've used it for years and all of a sudden when I go to transcribe the file I have highlighted, the player disappears.  The "player and slider" do not stay "on top" of the WORD document.  I can minimize it and open it that way, but it is a pain.  I want it "on top" of the document so I can see progress of the file. As it is now, I "can't see it" and therefore can't open or close it.   anyone know what happened?  TIA   


Anyone using an Olympus recorder . . . see msg
The ending of each recording is cut off. Has this happened to anyone else, and what went wrong? TIA
disk versus disc
I used to type for a neurosurgeon who requested that I put "disc". So there! Either way is correct.
Have any of you used the free disk that you can pick up at
Just wondering how you liked the service. It is $9.94 month. TIA
My company told us to use disk for
both, though it has been disc for eye and disk for ortho in the past. 
You can copy the PRD from windows 98 to a disk and
transfer it to XP. It does not make any difference what windows platform you use because PRD is DOS program and does not need the installation program, just copy to your hard drive.

However, there are a few programming considerations you need in order to get it to work on XP, and the best instructions for this are at a web site at columbia university. I will put that link in an addendum here so you can get the help you really need.
In MS Word I did something to delete my little disk on the....sm

task bar and also the page that opens a new document and the print preview page.  There are probably more missing.  How do I get them back?


thx so much


If you have a disk, you can reload it on another computer. nm

The info was on a disk and shouldn't have been

I have Abacus SE, brand new with disk. s/m
I paid $40 for it about two months ago. It is very user friendly and prints out invoices. I'll sell it for half price plus shipping if you are interested.
question on converting a disk - please help

I have a CD that I am supposed to transcribe.  It came to me in as a .cda format, and it won't play whatsoever.  Not on my laptop, not on my CD player, nothing.  I see online that there are ways to convert the cda to an mp3, but I'm not sure which are hoaxes/bogus and which are for real.


 


Does anyone know how to do a conversion of cda to mp3?  Please help.  Thanks so much
