Dictate.it already offers SpeechMike Pro and SpeechMike Classic under its partnership with Philips. The newly-available SpeechMike Air is the improved wireless version of the professional audio recording device and is now available to the company’s customer base, which includes 27 NHS trusts.

 

Mark Miller, company managing director, said: “Philips has reacted to ergonomic research findings and produced an invaluable tool for medical professionals. SpeechMike Air is the ultimate device for use with speech recognition technology and will be an important element of our dedicated workflow cycle, which brings Dictate.it closer to our goal of delivering more-efficient and cost-effective systems for managing patient records.”

 

SpeechMike Air includes a range of new features including fully-programmable buttons, improved recording quality, intuitive design and the new SpeechMike AirBridge docking station – a design that allows direct, encrypted transfer of dictation data from a range of 10m.

 

Dr Thomas Brauner, chief executive and category leader of Philips Speech processing, said: “The SpeechMike Air is a significant leap forward in the world of digital speech processing solutions. Philips takes pride in ergonomic structures that are customised to the individual needs of our users. The necessity for a truly mobile, real-time dictation solution has been evident and we know this will benefit medical professionals worldwide.”
