Digital voice recording technology for medical professionals was pioneered and perfected by Olympus Corporation whereby a portable digital handheld recorder is used for medical dictation much in the same way as using a handheld cassette tape recorder.  However, with a digital handheld recorder, no cassette tape is used.  Instead, the voice recording is stored as a digital computer file created by the recorder itself and then transferred to a personal computer for playback and transcribing.  The recorded digital voice files (most commonly .dss, .wma, or .wav files) are then sent by E-Mail or internet-based FTP (file transfer protocol) to the transcriptionist which completely eliminates the need for physical pickup and delivery of cassette tapes and transcribed reports.  All files are thus transferred electronically from one computer to another.  In this way, digital voice files and transcribed reports can be quickly transferred across town or across the country in a matter of seconds.  This results in increased convenience, faster turnaround, better organization of patient records, and improved efficiency for both physician and transcriber.

But perhaps the most notable advantage of using a portable digital handheld recorder is the "virtual CD quality sound" during playback.  Indeed, digital voice file dictation provides for the most accurate listening and transcribing experience possible which results in better interpretation, fewer errors, increased speed of transcription, and lower medical transcription costs.
