Professional Dictation Made Simple

The Philips DPM8000 PocketMemo with SpeechExec Pro Dictate 11 is a complete professional dictation bundle combining a reliable handheld recorder with Philips' industry-standard workflow software. It is designed for professionals who need a dependable, no-fuss solution for capturing spoken notes and getting them to a transcriptionist or speech recognition system quickly and securely.

Reliable Recording, Every Time

The DPM8000 uses a four-position slide switch that lets you record, stop, play, and rewind with a single thumb movement, so your hands stay free and your attention stays on the task. The backlit LCD display gives clear, at-a-glance feedback on recording status, file length, and battery level. The DSS Pro+ recording format delivers secure, compressed, professional-grade audio files, while MP3 support adds flexibility when working with broader systems. Three recording quality levels let you choose the right balance between audio fidelity and file size.

• Slide-switch operation: one-handed control of record, stop, play, and rewind without looking at the device
• DSS Pro+ recording: secure, compressed files designed for professional dictation and transcription workflows
• MP3 support: record in widely compatible MP3 format when needed
• Built-in rechargeable battery: charges via USB, no separate charger required
• USB 2.0 connectivity: connects directly to your PC for file transfer and charging
