New era in dictation mobility and security

31-12-1969

The Digital Pocket Memo 9600 continues to offer functionality integral to earlier versions (voice commands, voice activation and keywords, etc.) but also offers new, advanced but easy-to-use features:

The highest data security standard in mobile dictation is achieved through file encryption, passwords and personal user keys (HIPAA compatible). Voice files can be password-protected on the device itself to prevent unauthorized access. DSS Pro file compression, an enhancement of the industry’s DSS standard, guarantees crystal-clear sound quality for more accurate manual transcription and optimized speech recognition results. The Digital Pocket Memo features the largest backlit display of any dictation unit and its unique smart buttons make operability completely intuitive. The unit has a ‘quick recharge’ feature that ensures constant availability. The new 9600 also features a robust metal case and an award-winning design.


Dr. Thomas Brauner, Managing Director of Philips Speech Processing said “The Philips Digital Pocket Memo 9600 series is an easy choice for professionals who attach considerable importance to working with the most advanced technology available. That’s why this design-driven, high-tech tool not only boosts productivity but also makes a statement about how attorneys, physicians and other professionals value quality, reliability and accuracy in their daily work."

The Digital Pocket Memo 9600 also recently received the IF Product Design award 2007 for its outstanding ergonomics and innovative functionality.

Philips also announces the introduction of a new LAN Docking Station, representing an entirely new concept in PC-free file transfer. It transfers dictations from the Digital Pocket Memo through a LAN (local area network) to a transcriptionist or a speech recognition system without connecting to a PC. Encryption ensures that dictations are sent securely through the company network or the Internet, regardless of whether the destination is next door or on the other side of the world.

The new Philips Barcode Module has also been redesigned to snap onto the new Digital Pocket Memo. It is a highly compact laser scanner that retrieves important patient or client information by scanning the barcode. The scanned information is securely attached to the dictation, saving time and minimizing the risk of errors. The Barcode Module can also be used as a USB scanner device, directly transferring the barcode information to a PC.

The Philips Digital Pocket Memo 9600 Series, LAN Docking Station and Barcode Module will be available from March 2007.
