You should be able to play those back in the free olympus DSS player :
http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/2590_4694.htm

It's as far as I know a proprietary format invented by Olympus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Speech_Standard

Calling it a "standard" is a bit far fetched if it's closed and
unavailable for playback except on their systems ! It's a bit like
saying a Ford car is a standard because it has 4 wheels...

To be honest if you need to convert this, your options are extremely
limited. VideoLAN http://www.videolan.org/ *might* play it (you'd have
to check yourself) and if it can, there are output options to a range
of file types like MP3 or WAV.

Otherwise, you're likely to end up with an audio cable from the voice
recorder, to your microphone socket, and using Audacity or some other
audio recording program to sample the analog audio.

HTH
