the same information unless you select different Keyword definitions.
You can select different Keyword definitions as long as no recording has been done in the file. After recording has
been done in the file, it is possible to choose different Keyword definitions on the display. These changes will not
take effect for the current file but from the next new file onwards.
Note: If the Philips 9750 goes into Power Save mode while assigning Keywords, the device is reactivated in Stop
mode. Any unconfirmed Keyword assignments will have been discarded. You have to access the menu and
repeat the Keyword assignment.
Linked Keywords
When the Linked Keywords setting is enabled in SpeechExec Dictate and the Philips 9750 has been configured
with this setting, you can transfer sets of Keyword strings to the Philips 9750. These sets can then be selected on
the device and assigned to a dictation file.

) on the microphone for at least 1 second to insert your spoken instruction.
Recording spoken instructions in Overwrite mode
When Overwrite mode is enabled on your device, the behavior is as follows:
• Spoken instructions will be overwritten, partially or completely, without any warning.
• When you start normal recording inside a spoken instruction and finish recording before you have reached the
end of the spoken instruction, the instruction is split into two parts.
For example, you have a spoken instruction with a length of 12 seconds. You position inside the instruction at
5 seconds and do normal recording for 5 seconds. Your sound file will then have a spoken instruction of
5 seconds followed by normal recording of 5 seconds followed by the remainder of the instruction of
2 seconds.
However, the total length of the instruction has been decreased to 7 seconds because the middle part has
been overwritten with the normal recording.
Recording spoken instructions in Insert mode
When Overwrite mode is enabled on your device, the behavior is as follows:
• When you insert a spoken instruction before an existing one, the numbering of the consecutive instructions is
increased by 1. For example, if you inserted an instruction before INSTR 2, INSTR 2 would become INSTR 3,
INSTR 3 would become INSTR 4 and so on.
• When you insert normal recording into an existing spoken instruction, the spoken instruction is split into two
individual instructions. The total number of instructions in your sound file is increased by 1. However, the
contents of the instruction are preserved and not overwritten.
Additional infomation
• When you fast forward or fast rewind the file, the device will interrupt the current action at the insertion point of
a spoken instruction for about 1 second and it will beep. The action is then continued automatically.
