Have you ever wanted a hand held digital dictation device that is integrated with a dictation/transcription system. OPUS is our dictation for PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistant).

OPUS --- Dictation does not get simpler than this!

Record your dictations using OPUS; pop the PDA into the PDA’s cradle and the dictation will automatically be copied to your transcriber’s in-basket (local network or an Internet FTP site).

OPUS can record over 3 hours of compressed audio on a standard 32MB PDA. If that's not enough then you can record over 15 hours with a 64 MB expansion memory card.

The following information is stored in each sound file:

Name of the dictation author.
Date and time of the dictation.
Priority.
Any notes that you would like the transcriber to read.
If a medical dictation, then a work type and patient ID are also stored in the sound file.

OPUS has the following features:

10 to 1 audio compression allows you to store 10 times more audio than with a standard recorder.
Support for storage cards allows you to expand the audio storage and safeguard your recordings from battery rundown.
You may overwrite or insert audio for easy audio editing.
