Snapshot of a Digital Voice Recorder
While a surprising number of today’s professionals continue to rely on
cassette tape based dictation and transcription, a large majority of
have successfully made the transition to a digital dictation and
transcription workflow solution. Philips, a leader in the manufacturing
and advancement of digital voice recorders, has made this transition a
very seamless process for most. From the solo attorney to national
healthcare organizations with 1000’s healthcare practitioners, all have
improved their workflow and ease of use by utilizing digital dictation
products from Philips.
The best of breed from Philips in the handheld digital voice recorder
category is the Philips Digital Pocket Memo LFH9600. The recorder has a
robust metal casing that is quite durable and enhances the overall life
and durability. For professionals such as physicians, lawyers, judicial
officials, public safety and insurance adjusters who dictate frequently,
the slide switch greatly enhances the operation time and facilitates
easy one handed operation. This digital voice recorder from Philips is
also very comfortable in the hand and fatigue from repetitive and
lengthy use is reduced dramatically by its comfortable and ergonomic
design. The 9600 digital voice recorder also has much to offer under the
hood as well. The internal components are constructed from top of the
line materials and the recorder is made in Austria where great pride is
taken with attention to detail and quality of workmanship. The Philips
9600 also has the largest LCD screen a of any digital voice recorder so
that reading the settings and other pertinent information is quick and
easy.
A primary difference between cassette dictation and digital dictation
is how the recording is created. With cassette dictation it is a
physical realignment of ferrous material which is embedded in a
polyvinyl stip. With digital dictation, the recording is converted to
zeros and ones thus creating a file that software and computers can read
and translate. Since the recording created by the 9600 is a file, it
can be encrypted so that the play back can only be done by authorized
persons who have the appropriate password and authorization. This
security feature is paramount in the world of patient and client
confidentiality laws and ethics. Just imagine what would have happened
if a reporter had obtained cassette tapes of Johnny Cochran’s briefs
during or even after the OJ Simpson trial. The possible negative fallout
would not even be a concern if digital dictation with encryption was
used.
The Philips 9600 is sold as a turn key package which includes The
Philips SpeechExec Pro software for easy file management and transfer, a
docking station for transferring the recordings and recharging the
batteries, all the necessary accessories such as memory card, leather
carrying case and connection cables are included. The 9600 also
integrates smoothly with the latest Philips SpeechExec Enterprise
solution available from DTP Sales & Service.
