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.

We recommend using the high quality DSS-Pro recording mode for anyone planning to use this recorder with speech recogntion software. We routinely received accuracy in the 95-96% range, which is slightly less than when dictating directly into the computer. Holding the recorder against our upper chest, with the microphone slightly below our mouth, seems to provide the ideal position to block out unwanted noises. It can be used in environments with moderate noise with the built in microphone.

Available accessories include a LAN docking station, which allows file transfer without a PC and a barcode scanner.
