Fits perfectly into your solution

The SpeechAir smart voice recorder fits perfectly into your existing workflow solution. Using the hardware software development kit (HW SDK), you can easily integrate your SpeechAir to your hospital information system (HIS) to access patient data directly. The devices can be remotely configured by an administrator, saving you time and resources. You can use the pre-installed Philips dictation app or customize your own app using the App software development kit (App SDK). SpeechAir uses an Android operating system, meaning the devices are intuitive to use for users, saving you training time.

Ultimate recording quality

Crystal-clear recordings

Three professional microphones deliver ultimate sound quality in any recording situation. The 360° microphone is ideal for recording dictations and meetings. For noisy environments, such as when dictating on a train or in a shared office, the directional microphone is best suited. It filters out background noise and records your voice perfectly for excellent playback as well as speech recognition results. You can even record clear VoIP calls with a third, dedicated microphone.

Always stay connected

Wi-Fi, LAN, USB and Bluetooth

Save time by transferring your finished recordings wirelessly to your transcription staff and directly accessing your clients' data in your document management system. Use Wi-Fi for VoIP calls and accessing your emails and calendar. Add flexibility by connecting a Bluetooth headset or speakers.

Maximum file security

Protect your recordings with up to triple encryption

Especially in the legal, financial and insurance sector, safeguarding confidential client information is paramount. This is why SpeechAir recordings are encrypted in real time using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256bit. The AES has been approved for the most highly classified government information. A PIN code protects the device itself against unauthorized use. Features such as the camera can be locked and Wi-Fi networks can be restricted for employees.

Perfectly protected device

Gorilla glass and anti-microbial housing

Gorilla glass makes the device scratch and shock resistant. The housing is made of antimicrobial synthetics. These materials work against bacteria and various microorganisms to ensure hygienic working. The device is shockproof according to US military standard 516.6.

Camera and barcode scanner

Attach photos to your recordings

The camera allows you to conveniently attach supporting photos to your dictations. When inspecting insurance claims or real estate for instance, you no longer need to carry an additional camera along with you. All your documents can be sent off immediately, no need to wait until you are back in the office. The SpeechAir camera also comes with an integrated barcode scanner. This enables you to instantly link client data to a recording just by scanning a QR- or barcode.

Wear-free slide switch

Outstanding ergonomics for prolonged use

The ergonomic and wear-free slide switch is designed for efficient single-handed operation without having to look down at the device. It allows for quick and easy file operation (play, pause, stop, fast forward, fast rewind). A customizable function key above the slider gives quick access to the app.

Docking station

Instant file transfer and quick charging

The included superior docking station automatically transfers all your recordings to your computer and quickly re-charges your device. The LAN connection allows you to transfer your files directly from the station without having to use a computer. The dock comes with a Kensington lock. This antitheft system guarantees a peace of mind when leaving the dock unattended in offices.

Philips dictation recorder app

Professional dictation features for increased efficiency

The integrated recorder app comes with professional dictation features such as editing modes, priority, EOL flag, enhanced data and dictation list as well as sending options (to network folder, Philips SpeechLive services or email recipients). The Dictation Mode enables you to use your device for dictation only. Functions and keys irrelevant for dictating are disabled allowing you to focus on your core task.

Android OS

Intuitive and secure operating system

Android is a secure and intuitive OS which allows you to install apps on your SpeechAir and have all important applications on one single device. The familiar operating system means users are confident to start working right away and do not require training, saving you valuable resources.
