Wireless Dictation for PDA or Pocket PC.
 
We support the Quikscribe wireless software only. All PDA hardware support is available from the respective brands.  No software updates are available to non software support clients
 
 
Special note:-
Loading the Wireless software
There may be a CD supplied or a web link available for loading Quikscribe Wireless dictation. No future software updates are available to non software support clients
When you load QSW, (as with any QSR or QSP loading) for the first time you must generate and keep your own copy for all future loading unless stated otherwise. Save to the server any new links, Updates and patches are not available for client that do not have a support agreement.
QSW is for the PDA user, QSR Recorder is for the PC based author and QSP Player is for the PC based typist. If any hardware is to be used as well you may wish to plug this and load any relevant drivers before doing a restart of the computer.  Do not make any setting or function changes to the software before restarting.
 
Helpful hint.
PDA. To record audio onto your Pocket PC, your device needs to support either a built-in microphone or the ability to plug in an external wired microphone. You must also enable the Microphone AGC, as by default, this is not enable, which means the Pocket Recorder will record correctly, as your audio input level will be very low. To enable it, the following steps are required:
Click on the Start / Settings / System tab and then the Microphone AGC icon. When this is done, a screen similar to the one below will appear. If you then select Enable and then OK, you will find that your Pocket Recorder will record with a very good input level.
Note: Some Pocket PC's do not support Microphone AGC. Why this is the case, we do not know. For whatever reason, the manufacturer has decided not to install this component as part of the standard operating system. Needless to say, before purchasing a Pocket PC, make sure your device supports this option or you will not be able to record properly. If you have such a device, contact the manufacturer of your device and see if there is a patch you can download to enable this option.

Vista upgrade information
Before upgrading to Vista you should read the following. Software upgrades are only available to software support clients.
DS 2000 moving to Vista
The Ds2000 uses the V6 DSS upgrade only so to go to Vista you first need to load this V6 DSS, then download 7.01. Then download 7.02. It must be carried out in this way.
DS 3000/AS3000 moving to Vista.
The software that came with the Ds3000/AS3000 is not Vista compliant. The AS4001 or 4002 has to be loaded first as this will take the software to the initial V4 DSS pro software, then an upgrade of the latest DSV4 pro software with Vista drivers will be required. For clients that may have already downloaded a previous upgraded call the AS4003 and 4004. This is not the 4001/4002 as stated above and was only like a small step upgrade. An upgrade to the AS4001/4002 will be required first then an upgrade to the latest DS4000/AS4000 software will be required.  and is only available for clients that still have the DS/AS3000 software loaded. If no DS/AS3000 software present the upgrade AS4003 and 4004 will not download and / or run.
DS4000/AS4000 moving to Vista
The only software that will operate within Vista is the latest DSS pro software version 4.9.3. This may not present be supplied in the box but is available via an upgrade.
 
To load the MAC update.
Load the CD as standard.
Find the normal DSS player software and go into it.
Drag the patch you have downloaded from the link listed above into the DSS folder.
Then run the patch from within the folder.
If you don’t do this many issue may arise.

To upgrade FIRMWARE in the LFH 9600 digital recorder
Description:
Follow the instructions below to make sure that the firmware upgrade for your Digital Pocket Memo device is performed correctly:
1. Make sure new batteries are inserted into the Digital Pocket Memo or the DPM is powered through a power supply during update.
2. Switch on and connect the DPM to the PC.
3. Download the firmware file by clicking onto the ‘Download link’ and copy this *.dpm file to the root of the memory card placed in the DPM.
Note:
- Do not copy the *.dpm file to a CD-ROM drive as the file will be marked read only.
- When working with MS Windows 2000 the actual file transfer to the memory card might take up to 40sec.
4. When the file has been fully copied to the DPM disconnect the USB connection to the PC. Do not switch off the DPM. The upgrade will start automatically. The LC-display of the DPM will show:
 
NEW PHILIPS SPEECHEXEC PRO SMART KEY installation:
LED is green:      Valid full license is on the smartkey
In this state the smartkey behaves the same as the old dongles, the smartkey needs to be attached to the PC for the software to work.
While green, you may download the license to the PC and the smartkey will turn orange.
LED is orange:    The full license has been downloaded; a 30 day license is available once.
In this state the license is on a PC and the software will start without the smartkey attached.
If the smartkey is orange, you may upload the license back to the smartkey turning the smartkey back to the green state.
LED is red:           Both the full license and demo license, have been downloaded. The Smartkey is blocked. No further upload possible.
In this state the smartkey is locked and will need to be sent back to Philips for factory re-set.
Please note: The 30 day license is for disaster recovery situations only, once this has been downloaded the key is locked.
If the client intends to use the software on multiple PCs or home & office, we recommend leaving the license on the smartkey (green state)
Do not connect an orange smartkey to a new PC when installing 5.0 as the software will attempt to install the 30day disaster recovery license and lock the smartkey.
What do I do if I have a customer with a red smartkey?
There are two scenarios that will cause a red (locked) smartkey:
1.     The smartkey is locked however the full license is on a PC – this will occur if after downloading the license to a PC, the customer attempts to install on another PC while the smartkey is orange.
In this case the smartkey will need to be sent to Philips to re-set to orange state, or we may be able to re-set to orange via a remote connection to a PC with the smartkey attached at your premises (we will not be re-setting smartkeys at customers sites directly)
2.     The full license has been destroyed – this may occur if a customer’s PC/HDD crashes, they replaced the PC and re-installed on the new PC using the 30 day license. (i.e. they have no access to the original license)
In this case the smartkey will need to be returned to Philips for factory re-set to the green state.
