OM SYSTEM DS-9100 Dictation Recorder

Capture professional dictation away from your desk, then transfer recordings to your chosen software workflow. The DS-9100 combines a four-position slide switch, dual microphones and a colour display in a portable recorder.

Record, review and organise

Choose recording settings to suit your surroundings. The dual-microphone system and triple-layer pop filter help reduce unwanted noise, while the slide switch puts recording and playback controls under your thumb. Use supported author, work-type, priority and index settings to keep dictations organised.

Record in DSS Pro, PCM WAV or MP3. Editing options depend on format: append, overwrite and insert are not available for MP3 recordings. Battery life varies with format and settings, with the manufacturer quoting up to 56 hours for PCM mono recording.

Protect compatible dictation files

The DS-9100 supports 256-bit AES encryption for compatible DSS Pro files and device PIN locking. PCM WAV and MP3 recordings are not encrypted by this function. Configure the recorder and receiving software to meet your organisation’s security requirements.

Choose software for your workflow

This recorder does not include a software licence. The available paid add-ons let you choose ODMS R8 Dictation Module for a Windows desktop workflow or ODMS Cloud for a separately licensed cloud workflow. A cloud transcription workflow also requires an appropriate typist account. Confirm the licence, subscription and installation requirements with VoiceX before ordering.

Speech recognition requires compatible, separately licensed software. Explore our speech recognition solutions for advice on matching your recording workflow to the right application.

Connect at your desk

Transfer recordings by USB. The optional CR21 docking station provides desktop connection and charging; the DS-9100 does not support the dock’s Ethernet function. For a package including the dock, compare the DS-9100 with dock.

Build the right dictation setup

Contact VoiceX to check your recorder, author and typist software, accessories and installation needs. Existing licence and accessory compatibility should be confirmed before migration.

Recording and control

  • Four-position slide switch for straightforward recording and playback control.
  • Dual microphones and noise-reduction recording settings.
  • Triple-layer pop filter to help reduce breath and wind noise.
  • DSS Pro, PCM WAV and MP3 recording; editing functions depend on format.

Docking and charging

The CR21 dock is optional for this recorder-only listing. With a suitable AC adapter, the manufacturer quotes approximately two hours for a full dock charge; USB dock charging is approximately four hours. Actual charging time varies with conditions.

A compatible foot control can enable additional functions through the dock. Check your exact accessory and application before purchase. Ethernet transfer through the CR21 is not supported by the DS-9100.

Choose the software first

The DS-9100 is a hardware recorder. Computer requirements depend on the application used to transfer, manage or transcribe its recordings. No software licence is included in this listing.

Windows desktop workflow

The latest published ODMS R8.1 requirements list Windows 11. ODMS R8 is a separately licensed Windows application, not a macOS application. Check the current OM SYSTEM requirements before installation.

VoiceX does not support Windows 10, which has reached the end of standard Microsoft support.

Cloud and other applications

ODMS Cloud requires the appropriate account, licence, internet connection and supported transfer application or browser workflow. Confirm current computer requirements and author/typist account needs with VoiceX. Third-party speech recognition and transcription compatibility depends on file format, application version and licensing.
