And I hear Phillips is now kicking
for making that move!

Phillips Dictation System

Does anyone have experience with their physician using the Phillips dictation system where they download their files and send them via email as a WAV file? I have a doc that just bought this system and he is having major trouble getting the files to me (or to anyone else). Is there specific software that I should have on my computer for this to work? I'm in a panic along with him because while he is fooling around trying to figure out how to work this system, his dictation is piling up.

Thanks for any tips.

What do you mean by a Phillips dictation system?
What software are you using to transcribe?

If he is using a Phillips handheld digital voice recorder, you shouldn't have any problem opening or transcribing those files with Express Scribe and a foot pedal and he shouldn't have any problem sending the files to you. They are dss files, and most wav pedals will play them.

If you mean one of the more complicated Phillips dictation "systems" and not just the recorder/download software, that might be a different story.

I do have a recommendation. The Phillips comes with the ability

to download twice and I would make sure I set that up. Download to the file that will be coming to you. Then use the backup download to a file that is totally separate. I call it backupvoicefiles. I have found files in the backupvoicefiles that for some reason didn't come to me in the regular file. They would have been lost if I didn't know to check this. Phillips has no explanation for why this happens. I have been most happy with the Phillips equipment especially since I figured this part out. When the girls are looking for work that he claims that dictates and I have not transcribed, I know the approximate numbers to check and have them go into the backupvoicefile folder and check to see if it is there.

Good luck. My doctors love the Phillips better than they did the Olympus and much fewer problems.

I have the Phillips noise-cancelling ones.
I paid 30.00 for them at Walmart...they have worked well for me

I'm trying to get a feel for who they are and if they would be a good employer if I worked for MQ, and then MQ sold to Nuance. This is PURE SPECULATION on my part.
