Philips LFH3700 SpeechMike Premium Touch Precision USB Microphone and SpeechExec Dictation Workflow Software - Push Button Operation

Overview:

SpeechMike Premium Touch is the latest innovation from Philips. It comes with a premium decoupled studio quality microphone, a built-in noise reduction filter, antimicrobial housing and a motion sensor for the clearest speech recordings and most accurate speech recognition results. The new touch sensor ensures easier navigation, saving you even more time.

Features:

• Decoupled studio-quality microphone for precise recording - The free-floating microphone is decoupled from the device’s housing, which guarantees that almost no background, touch, click, air or structure-borne noise is recorded. This technique is derived from studio microphones to make sure there are no sound distortions whatsoever and to guarantee outstanding speech recognition results.
• Microphone grille with optimized structure for crystal clear sound - The metal grille comes with specially designed hexagonal openings which allow three times more sound to reach the microphone than its predecessor, engineered to provide crystal clear recordings.
• Integrated pop filter for perfect recording quality - Fleece inserted above and below the microphone capsule filters out sound distortions such as pop and hiss noise, guaranteeing perfect results even if dictating closely into the microphone.
• Large speaker area for premium playback - The SpeechMike Premium Touch is equipped with an extra-large speaker, enabling it to not only record but also play back recordings in clear and crisp quality.
• Ergonomically shaped for perfect fit in the hand - The device is designed to fit perfectly into the hand and reduce unintentional pressing of buttons. The trigger and the ‘command’ button on the back of the device are engineered to be in easy reach for the fingers.
• Wear-free slide switch or push buttons for comfortable operation - The SpeechMike Premium Touch comes with a slide-switch or a push-button operation. The slide switch is wear-free and ergonomically shaped with a softly ribbed surface for smooth tactile feedback and comfortable and intuitive utilization. In addition, our engineers implemented a millionfold proven contactless slider detection, making it completely wear-free for an extra-long lifetime.
• Integrated motion sensor mutes microphone when not in use - Being on the cutting edge of technology, the SpeechMike Premium Touch comes with an integrated motion sensor, making it the first stationary dictation device that can be controlled by the movement of your hand. It detects when it’s put on the table, mutes the microphone, and once it is being picked up again it unmutes the microphone. In addition to that, custom events can be programmed, e.g., to pause and to continue the recording.
• Touch sensor for integrated mouse function - The device comes with a touch sensor. This allows the user to easily control and navigate within applications while recording, without having to switch between the mouse and microphone.
• Antimicrobial housing and buttons for hygienic working - The housing and the buttons of the SpeechMike Premium Touch are made of antimicrobial synthetics that work against a wide range of different microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g. pneumococcal bacilli and multiresistant microorganisms such as MRSA), viruses (e.g. HIV, influenza, etc.), fungi (e.g. Aspergillus niger), or algae. The polished, high quality pearl metal surface also makes the device non-sensitive to touch noises and fingerprints.
• Freely configurable function keys for a personalized workflow - The SpeechMike Premium Touch has freely configurable keys which are especially useful for programming speech recognition commands. The device can be personalized for any user and application.
• Smart, backwards compatible firmware for extra flexibility - Customers can upgrade from their previous SpeechMike model without installing additional software. For integrators, this means no changes need to be implemented and the existing SDK can be used. The SpeechMike Premium Touch is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems, as well as virtual environments such as Citrix, VM Ware and Hyper-V. It can be configured using SpeechControl, the convenient Philips hardware management tool.

The new Version 12 SpeechExec Pro Transcription Software is purchased as a two year subscription. The license will expire after two years and you will need to renew the subscription. One major advantage is that the software will keep up with Microsoft updates that occur during that time and your work will experience less interruption.

Automated file download for quick and convenient job routing
SpeechExec Pro allows authors and transcriptionists to automatically download all their dictations from their voice recorder straight into the software and route to the appropriate destination via their local network, FTP server, SpeechLive or email.

Geared for professional speech recognition for highest accuracy
Speech recognition software from Dragon can be seamlessly connected with solution. Whether the author is dictating directly into the software using a Philips microphone or uploading recorded files from a voice recorder, they will receive accurate speech recognition results which will help speed up their workflow.
