OM SYSTEM ODMS R8 Dictation Module
Turn recorded thoughts into organised work
Record a letter, report or file note, review the audio and send it to the person who will prepare the document. ODMS R8 brings those steps together in a Windows-based dictation workflow.
This is the Dictation Module for authors. It is separate from the Transcription Module used by typists.
Review before you send
Download recordings from supported handheld recorders or dictate using a compatible microphone. Review and edit audio, add index marks and include comments that help your transcriptionist understand the job.
Give each job a clear destination
Use folders, author IDs and worktypes to organise recordings. Set priorities, route files through shared storage or email and follow transcription status.
Choose how your recordings become documents
Send audio to your transcription team, associate recordings with documents, or use compatible optional Dragon speech recognition, sold separately. Review recognised text before using it in a final document.
ODMS R8 supports DS2, DSS, WAV and MP3 playback and can capture online meeting audio. Encrypted recordings require the appropriate credentials. Recording and sharing remain subject to your organisation’s policies and participants’ consent.
Current release: ODMS R8.1.0
Released on 9 November 2026, R8.1.0 adds Author ID and programmable-button configuration for a connected DS-9600. The earlier R8.0.3 update added Microsoft 365 and Outlook.com OAuth modern authentication.
