Use Philips SpeechExec software

Philips SpeechExec software (Windows version only) can be used for advanced configuration of the recorder, automatic download, conversion and routing of files.

Note

- For detailed information about SpeechExec software, refer to the SpeechExec help.

Advanced configuration

Philips SpeechExec software provides a wizard that guides users through the configurations and settings of the device. The wizard assists in configuring time format, sound feedback, voice-activated recording, display appearance, recording profiles, keywords, and file download to the computer.

1 Connect the recorder to the computer using the USB cable or the docking station.
2 Start Philips SpeechExec Pro software and click Settings > General settings on the menu bar and select DPM Configuration > DPM Wizard from the list on the left panel.
3 Click the Start Wizard... button to open the wizard and follow the on-screen instructions to customize the recorder.
4 Click the Finish button to close the wizard and confirm the transfer of the new settings to the recorder.

Note

- When the recorder is connected to the computer for the first time, Windows detects the new hardware and automatically installs the required drivers. When the installation is complete, Windows may prompt you to restart the computer.

Download recordings to the computer

With USB mass storage support, the recorder is automatically displayed as an external drive when it is connected to the computer. It can then be accessed easily with any program as a regular drive.

Use Philips SpeechExec software for automatic download, conversion, and routing of files.

1 Make a recording with the recorder.
2 Start Philips SpeechExec Pro software.
3 Connect the recorder to the computer using the USB cable or the docking station.
4 By default, the recordings on the recorder will be downloaded automatically to the computer and moved to the Finished dictations folder of the work list.

Note

- How and which files are downloaded after the recorder is connected to a computer can be configured in the settings menu of Philips SpeechExec software or with the configuration wizard.

Record menu

Profile

The recording profile presets recording parameters such as recording quality and file format, microphone sensibility and the microphone mode to suit the recording conditions. The profile's symbol is displayed in the information bar at the top of the screen.

• Personal: customize all settings.

» Recording quality: set the file format and the quality of the recording (bit rate). The higher the recording quality the bigger the file and the less recordings you can create.

DSS SP: .dss, mono, 13.7 kbit/s
DSS QP: .ds2, mono, 28 kbit/s
MP3 Stereo: .mp3, stereo, 192 kbit/s
PCM Voice: .wav, mono, 353 kbit/s
PCM Stereo: .wav, stereo, 705 kbit/s

» Microphone sensitivity: adjust the recording sensitivity to avoid recording background noises and to adapt to the recording environment.

Meeting: high sensitivity
Dictate: medium sensitivity
Private: low sensitivity

» Microphone mode: the microphone mode can be controlled by the integrated motion sensor. The motion sensor senses when the device is placed on the desk or held in the hand and sets the microphone mode accordingly.

Directional: focus on the right microphone and filter sounds from the side.
360 degrees: records sounds in all directions.

• Meeting: optimized for the recording of multiple sound sources, such as meetings and conferences with a small num-

ber of people (Recording quality: MP3 Stereo, Microphone sensitivity: Meeting (high), Microphone mode in hand: 360 degrees, Microphone mode on desk: 360 degrees).

• Dictate: optimized setting for the recording of a sound source close to the device (Recording quality: DSS QP, Microphone sensitivity: Dictate (medium), Microphone mode in hand: Directional, Microphone mode on desk: 360 degrees).
• Speech recognition: optimized for subsequent editing using speech recognition software (Recording quality: DSS QP, Microphone sensitivity: Private (low), Microphone mode in hand: Directional, Microphone mode on desk: 360 degrees).

Note

- All recording profiles can be customized with Philips SpeechExec software. Advanced configuration, p. 22.

Line-in

If you connect an external microphone to the device, the recording source will switch automatically and the device's microphones will be turned off. Set the line-in option depending on the external source:

• On: connect an amplified recording source (e.g. a stereo system)

Record notification beep

Enable/disable a beep tone indicating recording is about to begin.

Edit mode

You can edit an existing recording by overwriting a part of it or inserting additional recording. Add to or overwrite a recording, p. 14.

Encryption

Recordings can be encrypted in real time using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES or Rijndael Algorithm) with a key length of 256 bits. AES provides a very high degree of security and has been approved in the USA for the most highly classified government information.

Note

• Encryption must be set up with Philips Speech Exec software. Advanced configuration, p. 22.
• Encryption is only supported for files in DSS Pro format.
• When encryption is activated, the symbol is displayed in the information bar at the top of the screen.
• Encrypted files can only be played with Philips Speech Exec software.

The device itself can be assigned a PIN code to protect against unauthorized use or file playback.
