The chain

1

Get the recording out of Dictation recorders

Olympus/Philips units save DSS/DS2 to internal memory; pull via USB and the vendor's transfer tool or direct file copy. DSS/DS2 needs conversion to WAV/MP3 first — then the dictation transcribes excellently.

2

Transcribe the recording

The memory becomes a searchable string.

3

Search and jump

Find the phrase; the timestamp takes you to the moment.

What you end up with: The needle found without replaying the haystack.
