ATLANTA, Jul 26, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Philips, a leading manufacturer of mobile and stationary dictation
solutions, today announced the availability of its newest dictation
management software solution, SpeechExec Enterprise 4.0. The new
software package improves the user experience through numerous upgrades
including advanced integration capabilities with speech recognition
software and iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry platforms.

“One of the most noticeable changes from the last software package is
the superior integration with speech recognition,” said Florian
Schwiecker, Director at Philips Speech Processing, North America. “When
we started developing this iteration of our software, we talked to users
about their needs and found that business professionals in all
industries are starting to use speech recognition as often as possible.
So we were committed to ensuring that our technology would fully and
completely integrate with the best speech recognition platforms
currently available.”

In addition to the advanced speech recognition capabilities, SpeechExec
Enterprise 4.0 easily integrates with iPhones, iPads and BlackBerry
devices. The system also includes new settings designed to allow
customers the ability to install the software in the Terminal Server and
Citrix environments. The software upgrade also works in 64-bit CPUs and
operating systems.

“As we were creating SpeechExec Enterprise 4.0, we wanted to meet the
needs of today’s professional workers, which meant the software needed
to be compatible with fast servers and smart phones,” said Thomas
Brauner, CEO and category leader at Philips Speech Processing. “If
today’s professionals can’t work on fast servers or on their smart
phones, they cannot deliver the best customer service and may lose their
competitive advantage. SpeechExec Enterprise 4.0 ensures that users can
use the technology in almost any environment.”

Other upgrades to SpeechExec Enterprise 4.0 include a new user interface
which features new application icons, splash screens and toolbar icons
designed to mimic modern PC applications so users can quickly learn the
program. All user-interface elements follow an intuitive pattern that
makes it easy for new and experienced users to navigate through the
application. Other updates included in the newest software version are:

–
Heightened security, including advanced confidentiality features
through encrypted logins and passwords.

–
A Carousel view option, which enables typists to see the most relevant
information at a glance in a modern and convenient way.

–
The ability to display only the most commonly used toolbar functions.

SpeechExec Enterprise is now available from your Philips Speech
Processing certified partner (MDCE).
