Philips DMP8000: User Guide & Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase
of a Philips DMP8000, a
superbly engineered digital recorder extremely well suited to the
physician or other professional wishing to use a digital recorder in
conjunction with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The successor to the
DPM9600, this recently released hand-held recorder can store
hundreds of hours of dictation and is the perfect tool for the
individual wanting to dictate now and complete the transcription
process later.
Overview of DMP8000 Functionality:
Using the DMP8000 is actually quite intuitive and rather than
walking you through every aspect of basic use, we suggest that you
1) play with it for a while and 2) look through the Philips User
Guide. We have a copy of the Guide at this location:

We provide a few caveats about using this device from our own experience:
1.
You should hold the device relatively close to your mouth when dictating (4-6 inches).
We have seen a few colleagues holding it a foot or two from the mouth and this simply
will not produce a high enough quality recording to provide a good speech recognition
result.
2.
It is not necessary to talk loudly when using this device, but at the same time you should
not be whispering. Simply speak at a normal, comfortable conversational volume.
3.

Setting up the DPM8000 for use with Dragon:
For any method of using the DPM8000 with Dragon it is best (although not entirely necessary) to
create a Dragon user profile dedicated to use with the digital recorder. When we say “best” but
“not entirely necessary”, we mean that over the years we have regularly used a standard user
profile to transcribe a digital recording and in truth it seems to work perfectly well. But, to do it
right and potentially optimize your results, we suggest you either:
