My Philips VoiceTracer was previously recognised by Windows 10 laptop but is no longer. Have tried all the connection alternatives suggested and either nothing at all happens or the laptop says the latest device is not recognised. Hope you can help, Jack

I have encountered the problem of the pc (win10) not recognizing the 4010 as an external drive with the original cable from the package. I have used a random cable (much longer than the original one) and it worked.

I have DVT1250. When I go into the Menu, once I go into a submenu, such as Recording Quality, I cannot navigate using the arrows to Quality Settings or any other option. It only stays at the top item of Mic Sensitivity. If I go into Mic Sensitivity it only stays on High. I cannot navigate to Low.

Hi Kelly, thank you for your question. Once you have gotten to the menu item you would like to access using the arrows, press the record button to open the menu, and then use the volume buttons on the side of the recorder to navigate up and down.

Hi Karen, I am sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties. In order to uncover the source of the issue, we would need to troubleshoot and look into this further. Please call customer service at 1-844-222-3055 with a detailed description of the problem. Thank you!

Hello, I am using the DVT1150 Voice Tracer and I am unable to record. It tells me that it is full and yet I have emptied all the files on the computer. should I delete each empty folder as well? I cannot find any other files to delete other than the manual. why does it still tell me it is full?

Memory formatting:

Formatting the memory deletes all recordings and files saved on the device.

You can use this feature to delete all data and format the selected memory.

1 In stop mode (start-up screen), press MENU for at least two seconds.

2 Press e to select the FORMAT function.

3 Select OK by pressing h/b.

4 Press the j key to exit the menu

Hi, I am using a DVT2500 Voice Tracer and want to transfer recordings from internal memory to my mac. The device is not recognised by my mac as it is not showing up in Finder. However, the Voice Tracer screen shows it is connected to a USB port. I have tried using another USB port, another mac, another Windows, changing different cables. Nothing works. The Voice Tracer is not recognised by any of the mac or Windows. I need to transfer the recordings out from the internal memory. Hope you can help! Thank you!

I have a Philips Voice Tracer that I use for recordings of my research interviews. I have been able to copy and save my recordings to my computer every day but since Monday the new recordings do not display on my computer. They are on the recorder and I can listen to them but as soon as I open the VOICE file in file explorer only the old recordings display. I need to send the recordings to a transcriber but I cannot send the recorder as I need to continue recording new interviews. All my interviews was recorded in file A and and the new ones show in file A on the recorder but not in file A or any of the other files on the computer.

I transfer music files from my PC to a Philips 5500 in either the Voice or Music folders, and while they can be recognised and accessed via the computer, the 5500 does no recognise they are there. Why?

Hi there. I have a VoiceTracer DV 2510. I was adjusting the date, and now I found that after doing a test recording, I only can hear the second part of the recording. I tried on my windows pc and the whole recording is there. Is there a way to fix this on my device? thanks.

Hello, thank you for your comment. Have you checked, if all folders are also empty? A Philips Voice Tracer has 4 different folders. If this does not solve it, please send us a message with your contact details and problem description to sale...@speech.com, so we can further look into this for you.

I have a new VoiceTracer DVT2050, and I cannot get any computer to recognize the recorder. I tried a different cord, and I have the same problem. What other options do I have? My operating system is Windows 11

I recharged my VoiceTracer yesterday by plugging the USB into my computer. Now, the battery is full, but I cannot turn the device off. It continues to show the picture of the now fully recharged battery, and the led-light stays on. None of the buttons work. Please help.

Solved: My Windows 10 PC was no longer recognizing the VoiceTracer as a drive in spite of the VoiceTracer screen showing that it was connected. I tried several different USB A to C type cables with no luck. I then tried a USB C to C style cable and it worked. You will need a computer with a USB C connector to try this. Hope this helps someone.

SpeechExec Enterprise supports a wide range of speech-to-text scenarios. The platform supports traditional dictation workflows between authors and in-house transcriptionists. Recordings and the resulting written documents are automatically routed to the appropriate person for quicker turnaround times. Real-time job status information allows easy tracking of your work and the priority setting assures those urgent recordings get preferential treatment in the queue. Alternatively, users get direct access to Philips SpeechLive transcription service allowing you to outsource urgent transcripts when your staff already has a full workload.

With the integrated recorder, authors can record directly into the application with a microphone. All recording and playback functions can be controlled with Philips SpeechMike dictation microphones and Philips SpeechOne dictation headsets, which guarantees efficient recording and accurate speech recognition.

Speech recognition software can be seamlessly integrated into the solution. Whether you are dictating directly into the software using a Philips microphone or converting recorded files from a voice recorder, speech recognition will help you to reduce transcription time and costs. Built-in specialized legal, medical and professional vocabulary delivers optimal recognition accuracy. Authors can avoid the tiresome task of reviewing by automatically sending the recognized text and the audio file to their assistant for deferred correction and proofreading. Users can even extend the speech recognition functionality to anywhere they would typically type: office productivity applications, web browsers, and other standard Windows applications.

Real-time file encryption (256 bit), password protection and secure file transfer grant only authorized individuals access to documents. The optional automatic backup function protects data against accidental loss.

Support for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Citrix and VMware Horizion environments allow on-demand application delivery. SpeechExec can be virtualized, centralized, and managed in the data center and instantly delivered as a service to users anywhere. In addition, SpeechExec is compatible with the HL7 interface. SpeechExec Enterprise can work as a communication interface between the dictation workflow and the hospital information system (HIS).

Philips SpeechLive is a web-based dictation and transcription workflow solution that empowers you to turn your voice into text anytime using a web-based application, computer microphone, mobile voice recorder, or smartphone. No software installation is required. Speaking instead of typing streamlines document creation and reduces the tedious communication necessary to delegate tasks using an automated and secure document workflow.

Edit and store dictations created natively in the Philips SpeechLive web app or mobile app on an Apple iPhone or Android smartphone. You can set the language to English, German, or French for the SpeechLive user interface.

With speech recognition, the web app can transcribe dictation in real time. The desktop app allows you to place your cursor in any program and live dictate into a document, email, or any other application.

Unlike most speech-to-text engines that are speaker-dependent, SpeechLive also offers multi-speaker speech recognition. When you select the speech-to-text function for dictation, SpeechLive prompts you for the language and the number of speakers. The function uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify multiple speakers and attribute speech to each, e.g., speaker 1, speaker 2, speaker 3, etc.

SpeechLive automatically routes dictations to typists and notifies them of assignments via email. Typists can transcribe dictations and correct speech-recognized text in their favorite desktop text editor, such as Microsoft Word, and drag and drop the completed transcript onto the audio record, adding images or video attachments (.webp, .tiff, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .bmp, .gif, .heif, .heic, .mp4) where necessary. The web app notifies the author via email when a transcript is finished.
