The Olympus E-99 Transcribing Headset is an elegantly designed headset manufactured by Olympus for people associated with the transcription business.
Transcription involves converting speech recordings into a document or report for further usage. Businessmen, medical personals and legal professionals are some of the people that actively make use of transcription services. Businessmen may choose to get their meetings recorded and later get them converted to a text document to present as a progress report. Medical personnel often require a transcription of surgical proceedings or lectures that may be referred to by other medical personals or students. Proceedings of trials and court hearings may also be recorded and later be supplied to a transcription business to be converted into a text document for reference.
These days it is highly likely that the transcribing has been passed on to an outsourced business somewhere across the globe. Unless optimum equipment is provided to the transcribing staff, there is a high probability that they will make mistakes if they do not understand the recordings due to different accents. Other than mistakes, they may prove to be inefficient if they take too much time on every transcription assignment. To ensure a transcription with reduced error and high quality, a headphone with a clear audio output is required.
The key qualities of this headset are that it is light in weight and comfortable to wear. Both these traits are in demand by people who are spending long, strained hours transcribing. Therefore products such as Olympus E-99 Transcribing Headset ensure optimum levels of performance.
The Olympus E-99 headphones provide a clear and balanced audio output, thus facilitating the user. The headphones are provided with two soft ear cushions that contribute towards the comfort of this headset for both light and heavy transcriptions.
The E-99 Transcription Headset can be used with all sorts of portable audio systems, such as a handheld recorder or a digital recorder. When using with a handheld recorder, a PA-1 plug adapter needs to be purchased. The universal compatibility is a plus point as unlike some headphone products, the performance of the E-99 headphones will not vary with different brands of electronics available.
The headset comes with a 3.55mm audio jack, which is standard in desktop transcription machines. It also comes with a 1.5m chord, giving the transcriber the ease to sit back and work on his transcription. The E-99 comes as standard equipment with all Olympus Microcassette transcribers. However, it can also be purchased separately. The headset price range lies between $11 and $16 depending on the website the order is placed with.
