_Not all Digital Voice Recorders are the same

__Philips Recorder - As cassette based dictation and transcription tools are gradually phased out by manufactures worldwide, many professionals who have used tapes for years experience the unsure of what type of recorder to change their old and broken down tape recorder with. With a multitude of choices for digital voice recorders, why pick a Philips or Olympus recorder? To the professional who creates formal dictations the email address particulars are clear. A professional grade recorder allows the author to efficiently manage their work flow with feature sets designed particularly for repetitive creation of dictations.
