The Olympus KP21 connects supported recorders and docking stations to a computer’s USB Type-A port. Its 2.5 m length gives you room to position the recorder or dock on your desk while transferring recordings.
Check for the Mini USB connection
The device end is Mini-B. Supported equipment includes the Olympus DS-2500, DS-3500, DS-5000, DS-5500, DS-7000 and LS-100, plus the CR15 docking station.
USB Type-A to Mini-B cable
2.5 m length
File transfer with compatible recorders
Charging where supported by the connected device and power arrangement
Check the recorder model and port before ordering. Mini-B, Micro-B and USB-C connections have different shapes, and a cable alone does not add USB charging to a recorder that does not support it.
Need help identifying your cable?
Give VoiceX your recorder or dock model and we can help check the connection you need.
The manufacturer lists the following recorder models for KP21:
DS-2500, DS-3500 and DS-5000
DS-5500 and DS-7000
LS-100
The CR15 docking station is also identified by the manufacturer. Selected DM-series and VN-series recorders use this connection; check the exact model, since those families do not all use the same USB cable.
VoiceX’s existing accessory fit list also includes A514, CR10, CR20 and F-5AC CR-Kit arrangements. Confirm the particular recorder, dock and power connection with VoiceX before ordering for one of these setups.
Computer and charging requirements
A suitable USB Type-A port is required on the computer or compatible power source.
For file transfer, the recorder and any required software must support your computer’s operating system.
USB charging depends on the recorder, its battery, settings and power source. Follow the recorder manual.
This Mini-B cable does not fit a Micro-B or USB-C recorder port.
However, Dragon Medical One on it's own is not compatible with Mac. If you do not have a Helium subscription for Dragon Medical One you can consider one of the options below.
VMWare or Parallels® – These applications run a Windows operating system “virtually” within macOS. Any version of Dragon can then be installed on this virtual OS and natively control other Windows applications. Dictated text can be copied across platforms into applications running on macOS if required. Dragon Medical One (DMO) is particularly well suited to this approach since it is very lightweight so minimal resources need to be allocated to the Windows OS. Other Dragon versions (such as Dragon Professional & Dragon Legal) will also work this way, however, system resources must be considered. A Philips SpeechMike or other USB microphone can be used with this approach.

Windows Remote Desktop Service /Terminal Server or Citrix – If you connect to a Windows-based server, you can install some versions of Dragon on the server itself where it will be able to natively control other application on the server. PowerMic Mobile (only available for Dragon Medical One) is especially helpful here, as the server administrator may not otherwise allow the server to capture audio from a traditional microphone. This also relaxes the internet speed requirements, as high-definition audio need not be streamed to the server.

Apple Boot Camp – This approach splits your Mac’s disk into two parts – one for macOS and one for Windows – allowing Windows applications like Dragon to be used as though your Mac were a Windows PC. Your macOS applications will not be available while running Windows, however, system resources are less of a concern as Windows will have access to all that is available. The virtual OS approach is still preferred where there are sufficient resources available to run both operating systems simultaneously.

How many computers can I install Dragon Medical on?
Choose the Dragon Medical One subscription that suits your practice.
Dragon Medical One Month-to-Month offers two options: an ongoing monthly subscription paid by direct debit, with cancellation required at least 7 days before the next billing cycle; or a 30-day subscription that expires automatically unless you instruct VoiceX to renew. For the 30-day option, VoiceX provides a renewal quote or advice 7 days before expiry.
Month-to-Month includes support and user assistance, rather than a dedicated training session.
All other Dragon Medical One subscriptions expire at the end of the purchased term unless you arrange renewal. They do not renew automatically.
