METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING DICTATION ON OR TRANSCRIPTION FROM RECORDING UNITS IN A DICTATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A dictation system having two or more recording units, each selectively operable as a dictation unit or a transcription unit, and including a selector for selecting a respective unit for recording or transcription. A unit selected for recording dictation is enabled if a record medium therein is ready, or initialized, for recording; otherwise the unit is enabled for transcription. While one unit operates to record dictation, the other may operate simultaneously to transcribe previously recorded dictation. In a system having at least three recording units, at least two are identified with respective, particular identities and the third is designated a spare recording unit. After a predetermined amount of dictation has been recorded on any one of the identified recording units, further dictation destined for that identified unit is recorded on the spare unit, and the identity of the spare unit is changed over to be equal to the identity of the recording unit for which dictation had been intended. In such a system, the original identities of the at least two recording units are established in the order in which those units are initialized, or made ready, for dictation.
