Other Olympus digital voice recorders have more quality modes than the DS-2400 and also record in Windows Media Audio (WMA) format. Why does the DS-2400 have only two quality modes?
The DS-2400 is designed to emulate the features of Olympus Professional Dictation Devices, whose primary function is to record dictation files for transcription. The two quality modes available on the DS-2400 – QP (Quality Play) and SP (Standard Play) – are optimized for transcription. They feature a narrow frequency response and high compression; these attributes result in small files, which in turn provide the additional benefit of extended recording time. DS2 (Digital Speech Standard Pro) files can be converted in DSS Player Standard for Windows software to WAVE, WMA, Classic DSS or mp3 audio format files with the properties necessary to be compatible with voice-to-text applications commonly used by transcriptionists. The additional quality modes available in some other Olympus digital voice recorders provide enhanced audio detail, compared with the DS2 files created by the DS-2400. However, this extra detail is not necessary to faithfully reconstruct a dictation file used for trans
