Among all the IT solutions that we implement in the businesses and homes that we work in, Wireless Access Points (WAP) are sometimes the most ideal way to increase the internet signal in the rooms within a building or to extend the signal to another area. They are relatively easy to implement and are self-configuring so they do not interfere with your current networks configuration. They are ideal for schools and small businesses who want to simply extend their current network to other rooms with comparatively small cost. If your workplace/school has thick walls or extends a long way from the main internet signal coming from the router/modem then your signal may become weak. You can then use Wireless Access Points to deliver the signal to other locations.MP900402792[1]

WAPs can also be used to create separate networks for security or practical purpose reasons too. If you want a separate network for students in a school to the staff network then WAPs can help you solve this problem. Even if you want a separate network for guests that arrive in your business’ lobby (perhaps high profile clients or competitors) then you might use this solution.

They are tidy solutions that are not separately powered. For added security you can have a login for users of the internet from the WAP that expires after a certain amount of time. All WAPs can be managed from a single point through an interface with lots of added functionality that can give the user a lot of extra insight in to their network without having to have much knowledge of the technical side of things.

All in all, WAPs can be a very neat, very beneficial solution to extending your network or boosting your internet signal.

Many professionals have a need for digital dictation and a subsequent need to have someone to transcribe their words into documents. This used to involve hand-held tape machines and expensive custom playback equipment with headphones and foot pedals. However, now it can all be done at very reasonable cost using little more than your smart phone and your office PC.

Olympus has long been a market leader in dictation and transcription and thankfully, they haven’t missed the transition to the current era where your smart phone is your friend. The Olympus Dictation App is available on iTunes for Apple devices and the Google Play Store for Android devices. This app is very good for digital dictation though it is primarily aimed at people wishing to subscribe to the Olympus Dictation Delivery Service (ODDS). The ODDS provides secure data transfer from your phone to your transcription PC. If you’re doing a lot of dictation, it makes things very easy.

If, on the other hand, you only do a little dictation, or just don’t want to pay around €150 per annum for the delivery service, Olympus does make it relatively easy to side-step the charge. When you record using the Olympus Dictation App, your audio is recorded in a format called M4a. One of the things ODDS does is convert this format into one of the more common audio formats such as MP3. If you want to do this yourself, there are tools such as Free M4a to MP3 converter that will do this for you on your PC. Note: If you are installing this software, take care to avoid the many pieces of adware included in the installation process. Read all the instructions carefully and only select the converter software.

Using the free software, you can email the M4a files directly to your transcriber’s PC, use the conversion software to convert to MP3 and then use transcription software to do the transcription. We recommend the Olympus AS-2400 Professional Transcription Kit which comes with headphones, a USB pedal and good transcription software for your PC.

If you have a need for a Digital Dictation and Transcription facility in your office, don’t hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.
