Philips 9600 Handheld Recorder

**A KnowBrainer Exclusive that you won't find anywhere else: With purchase of the Philips 9600, you'll receive a FREE 8" x 9" thickly padded KnowBrainerNeoprene Zippered headset microphone bag! ** (Click the box above)

The New Philips 9600 handheld digital recorder is bar none the most flexible and highest quality handheld digital recorder we have ever tested. It is also the best digital recorder for speech recognition software.
 
We have spent considerable time testing this unit with Dragon NaturallySpeaking Ver. 10.1 Preferred & higher. We include a copy of our Philips 9600 Training Guide (only available on this website) which contains 18 pages of step-by-step pictorial instructions on setting up your Philips 9600 options, how to utilize various features and how to create a NaturallySpeaking digital recorder user profile.  The Philips 9600 Training Guide is a KnowBrainer exclusive.
 
Complete DPM 9600 PackageThe Philips 9600 is versatile enough to record conferences, meetings and depositions. In conference situations we recommend the CM909 Conference-Mic.  For typical single user dictation we recommend the Philips LAN Docking Station. An excellent way to send your transcriptions to your transcriptionist anywhere in the world!
 
The Philips DPM 9600 has set new standards for advanced functionality and style. The large display and Smart menu buttons makes operating this feature rich recorder a breeze. Voice files can be encrypted and password-protected to prevent unauthorized access, making the 9600 the first HIPAA compliant recorder on the market.

5 Stars Great Recorder
by Gary Carson from Rolla, Missouri on Feb 7, 2008
  The Philips 9600 is a great recorder. It should be for that price. It's not perfect, but the one issue I have with it probably won't effect 99 percent of the users out there (and it doesn't really effect me that much). First of all, I don't know jack about recording formats and all that stuff, so I can't say whether DS2 is better than any other format for voice-recognition, which is the only thing I use the Philips for. Knowbrainer says that DS2 is optimized for Dragon Naturally Speaking (I think that's right) and I'll just take their word for it. What I can say is that my transcription accuracy with the Philips is running at a consistent 98 percent after only 30 minutes of training and zero efforts at error correction. I've occasionally hit the 99 percent accuracy level, but as a general rule, it's been running somewhere between 98 and 99 percent, which is pretty good considering my lousy dictation skills. I always use the Knowbrainer hands-free noise-canceling headset mike when I'm dictating and that probably helps, but I've done a few tests without the mike and my accuracy has been basically the same. It's never fallen below 98 percent and I'm guessing I could nudge it higher if I could learn how to talk without mangling every other word. I do a lot of dictation in my car with all sorts of background noise, but the recordings always sound crystal clear. The Philips has the best design of any recorder I've ever tried before. It's large and extremely easy to use. The layout is minimalistic and the large screen and controls make it simple to operate with one hand. The menu system is easy to navigate even while driving a car. The recorder's made out of steel rather than plastic and it seems very sturdy. I've dropped it twice, one from a few inches onto a wooden desk and once from a few feet onto a carpeted floor. No damage whatsoever as far as I can tell. I read somewhere that it can survive a 10-foot drop onto concrete, but I wouldn't want to test that. I assume someone else has, though. In any case, it's nice and solid with an intelligent design. Very nice. A real pleasure to use. Now for the one issue I have with the Philips. It's not really a problem in the technical sense of something not working correctly and it involves one of the security features which most users will probably never need. When I was researching the recorder, I got the impression that recordings could be encrypted ON THE RECORDER so that no one else could listen to them without (presumably) entering a password or something like that. The function was never really explained in any detail in the documentation. You can encrypt recordings using the Speech Exec software, but the encryption only seems to protect recordings AFTER THEY'VE BEEN DOWNLOADED to your computer. Trying to open an encrypted recording on your computer will give you a password prompt, which is what you would expect. The problem is that the same encrypted recording on the Philips itself can be played in the clear by anyone with access to the recorder. Maybe it was supposed to work this way--that's what I'm guessing. It's also possible that I still haven't figured out how to do it properly. I don't know. Encryption on the recorder is probably overkill for 99 percent of the people out there, but I don't like the idea that anyone can listen to me ranting about my plans to take over the world. At any rate, the Philips also has a feature which requires a PIN to access the menu, so I'm using that for now. Realistically, this PIN feature will protect your stuff from most casual snoopers if you're worried about privacy. If you're concerned about protecting your recordings on your computer, a simpler way to deal with them is to store them on an Iron Key USB thumb drive which uses military-grade hardware encryption. The peripherals that come with the recorder are very nice. The docking station is excellent. Plug in the USB cable and you're set. When you dock the recorder, it starts charging. If the recorder is turned on in the docking station, Speech Exec will automatically download your recordings and you can set it to only download recordings which have been marked as finished (there's an "End Of Letter" button for this). A very nice feature. The Speech Exec software itself is designed primarily for network use in a dictation-oriented environment, so you won't use a lot of its features if you're a single user. The recorder also comes with a high-quality leather carrying case which I've been using all the time. The case is designed so you never have to remove the recorder when you want to use it. The only problem with the case is that it doesn't have a belt clip so you have to carry it in your pocket. It's no big deal, but I wish Philips would put out a regular belt holder. None of the other recorder manufacturers make belt holders either, though. I have no idea why that is. It seems like a natural accessory to me. Finally--the batteries. Power is a huge issue with portable electronic devices of all kinds. Rechargeable batteries have a limited life and with a lot of devices (like the Ipod and various other MP3 players and PDA's), once that battery dies, you're screwed. Sometimes you have to send the device in to the manufacturer for a replacement (the IPOD, I think, has a soldered battery--an incredibly stupid design decision, in my opinion). Other batteries are proprietary and difficult to find. With some PDA's, replacing the battery can cost almost as much as buying a new device. Luckily, the Philips doesn't have any of these problems. It requires two AAA rechargeable batteries. The included batteries are labeled Philips, but I think you can find rechargeable AAA batteries anywhere. I might be wrong about that--haven't found out yet. In any case, the batteries can be replaced with standard AAA batteries if necessary, a detail that probably extends the useful life of the Philips for many years. The battery life seems to be pretty good, though I haven't tested the recorder with any multiple-hour sessions yet. I've gone several weeks between recharges with no problem. All in all, a great recorder. Probably one of the best available today, if not the best.
