How to obtain Olympus DSS Player Plus software for Mac The software is supplied with all the Olympus digital dictaphones, the current range being the entry level Olympus DS-2500, mid range Olympus DS-3500 and top of the line Olympus DS-7000. Whereas on Windows, Olympus have split these into two seperate software packages called the dictation module (which ships with the Pro digital dictaphones DS-3500/DS-7000) and the transcription module (which ships with the AS-7000 transcription kit). Both the dictation and transcription functionality are combined into the one program for Mac users. Olympus’ Mac software offering which is called DSS Player Plus v7 does what you need it to do download audio files from your digital dictaphone, playback dictation on your Mac and plug in a USB foot control for transcription of your digital audio files. Olympus need to be careful, their DSS Player Plus software is starting to look a little jaded and is in desperate need of an update, even if just a modernisation of the user interface. Olympus have led the digital dictation world by being Mac compatible for years, others are now starting to follow. Windows users enjoy a raft of features and functions that are yet to appear in the Mac software. In the digital dictation and transcription world there is still, in 2013, quite a big divide between the functionality and features of digital voice software for Mac when compared to Windows.
