Shop professional transcription kits for typists and support staff working from recorded dictation.
Transcription kits are designed for the typing side of the dictation process. Depending on the kit, they may include transcription software, a USB foot control, a headset and licence components needed to listen to dictation, control playback and prepare documents efficiently.
Transcription kits for fast, controlled document creation
A transcription kit gives typists and support staff the core tools needed to turn recorded dictation into finished documents. The author records the dictation, then the typist uses transcription software, a headset and a USB foot control to listen, pause, rewind and type without constantly reaching for the keyboard or mouse.
VoiceX supplies Philips and Olympus/OM SYSTEM transcription kits to medical, legal, government, administrative, and business teams across Australia and New Zealand. These kits are commonly used when setting up a new typist, replacing older transcription equipment or building a reliable author-to-typist dictation process.
For teams with larger volumes of dictation, speech recognition can also be introduced into the transcription process. In that setup, compatible speech recognition software can help produce a draft transcript first, allowing the typist to review, correct, format and finalise the document instead of typing everything from scratch.
For typists and transcriptionists
Transcription kits help typists control playback hands-free while preparing letters, reports, file notes, correspondence and other documents from recorded dictation.

Choose transcription kits and accessories compatible with Philips SpeechExec, SpeechLive, Olympus ODMS, OM SYSTEM ODMS Pro, and ODMS Cloud environments.
For faster turnaround
Manual transcription remains important, but speech recognition can help produce a draft transcript first, so typists spend more time reviewing, correcting and finalising.
Add speech recognition for automatic transcription
A transcription kit gives typists precise control over recorded audio. Speech recognition can take the next step by converting suitable dictation audio into a draft transcript before the typist begins.
This does not remove the need for review. It changes the typist’s role from typing every word manually to checking accuracy, correcting names and terminology, applying formatting and preparing the final document.
For medical, legal, and professional teams with high dictation volumes, this can be a practical way to reduce turnaround time while maintaining a human-in-the-loop review process.
Not every typist needs a full kit. Some teams need a complete transcription station, while others only need a replacement foot control, headset or software licence. The best option depends on the author, typist, recorder and software already in use.
Set up a new typist
Choose a transcription kit when a new typist needs software, playback control and a suitable headset for recorded dictation.
Replace old equipment
Replace worn foot controls, headsets or outdated transcription software while keeping the broader dictation process familiar for authors and typists.
Create a draft first
Use compatible speech recognition to create a draft transcript from suitable dictation audio, then keep the typist in control of checking and finalising.
Match the kit to the way dictation moves
A transcription kit should be chosen around the full dictation process, not just the hardware in the box. Check how the author records, where the audio files are stored, how the typist receives work, and whether the team uses desktop software, cloud dictation or speech recognition.
A good transcription setup should make audio easy to receive, control, hear, transcribe and finalise — without adding unnecessary steps for the author or typist.
