The Olympus DS-2600 is the latest offering for entry-level dictation from Olympus. This new device maintains the core principles of the previous DS-2500 - offering users a basic software package alongside a high-quality recording device. However, the new DS2600 now offers Slide Switch Control functionality. Slide Control operation allows users to dictate in a familiar analogue style using a single wear-free slide control. This feature has previously been exclusive to top-end dictation machines - now the all-new Olympus DS2600 is the very first machine to offer users a top-end slide control functionality at an entry-level cost.
