Sending Dictations Practically, On the Go – with Digta 7 Premium BT, the Bluetooth Dictation Device

Speech recognition for establishing dictation IDs quickly

Naperville, IL – July 15, 2011 – Grundig Business Systems (GBS), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional dictation systems, will release the Digta 7 Premium BT for delivery starting in July. This product is the world’s first dictation device with a built-in Bluetooth module. It can be used, for example, to send a dictation via Bluetooth directly from the dictation device to a BlackBerry for automatic transfer, or to a Bluetooth-enabled PC.

“Our clients have repeatedly told us they prefer ‘dictating’ with a professional dictation device, as opposed to ‘recording’ with purely smartphone based tools. The Digta 7 Premium BT allows users to continue to dictate as they are used to, while taking advantage of their smartphone as the dictation file transmission method, further decreasing the transcription processing turnaround time,” says GBS Managing Director Roland Hollstein. GBS will also release the “Dictation Blue” app for the BlackBerry, which will allow for customized routing of dictations via the secure e-mail client of the BlackBerry.

“With this innovative dictation device, our customers get to benefit from the excellent ergonomical design and sound quality of professional dictation devices, while enjoying the great flexibility of being able to send their dictations to their assistant any time, from anywhere, reflecting the demands of an increasingly mobile workforce. Their transcribed and formatted document could already be waiting for them when they return to the office,“ explains Mr. Hollstein. The Bluetooth device, when used for transmitting dictations in DSS, DSSPro or WAV format, has an operating range of around 15 to 30 feet.

New functions for easier dictation
The Digta 7 Premium BT is especially simple and intuitive to operate with its innovative Touch Pin slide switch. With the Touch Pin, the user can operate the dictation device by feel, as the Touch Pin protrudes slightly from the switch when set on ‘stop’. Another special feature is the use of speech recognition for creating an alphanumeric dictation ID, also enabling the natural pronunciation of numbers. Dictation IDs can also be entered quickly and easily with the customizable text editor or a barcode scanner. Alternatively, data lists can be prepared in advance and loaded over to the dictation device.

The Digta 7 Premium BT comes equipped with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery, providing for extra long recording capacity. The internal memory (2 GB) can be extended by means of SD cards.
