Setting your options for the Philips 9600 Digital Recorder to work with Dragon.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking supports handheld digital recorders (and other PDAs that record in “.wav”, ".wma",
“.dss” and ".mp3" format) for deferred transcription.
This requires installing the digital recorder’s software on your computer, and then, within Dragon, taking a few
steps so that the software will recognize the Digital Recorder device as a “dictation source”.
In order to gain the highest rate of accuracy possible, the sound files containing dictations should be
transcribed with a user profile that uses the "Digital recorder using sound files (.wav, .mp3, .wma) on disk" as
the dictation source. For instructions on creating your profile to be used with a Digital Recorder see “Enrolling
Your Digital Recorder with Dragon”. Instead of creating a new user profile with the Digital Recorder source, an
existing user profile can have the "Digital recorder using sound files (.wav, .mp3, .wma) on disk" source added
to it.
Before setting your User Profile in Dragon to work with a Digital Recorder it is recommended to make the
correct setting changes to the recorder and recording software to best work with Dragon. To make these
changes for the Philips 9600 follow the steps below:
Step 1: Install the Philips Speech Exec Pro Dictate Software using the documentation provided from Philips.
(Please note you need transfer the license from the USB key to your computer. This can be done in the
“Help” menu of the SpeechExec Pro Dictate software.)
Step 2: Launch the Philips Speech Exec Pro Dictate Software and Click “Settings” > “General Settings”
Step 3: On this dialogs left hand pane Click “Dictation” > “General Configuration” and then select “DSS Pro”.
Step 4: Select “DMP/DT Configuration” > “Automatic Conversion” and check the option “Convert automatically
when downloading a dictation” and then click “Configure”.
Step 5: In the “Select Audio Format” dialog, Select
the following options in this dialog:
File Type: WAV
Format: PCM
Attributes: 11.025 kHz, 16 Bit Mono
