27Philips Voice Recorder App
Microphone directivity
Directional:
• The focus is on the right microphone.
• Background sounds are ltered.
• Recommended for dictations with much background
noise and low microphone sensitivity.
360°:
• The focus is on the left microphone.
• Sounds from all directions are recorded.
• Recommended for dictations with little background
noise and high microphone sensitivity.
SpeechAir allows you to record high-quality single-
speaker dictations as well as multi-speaker dictations.
By default, the microphone directivity is set to 360°
in order to allow the best recording quality for single-
speaker as well as multi-speaker dictations.
We recommend using the directional microphone
for single-speaker dictations in noisy environments
and when you send dictations to speech recognition
software. For all other situations, we recommend using
the 360° microphone.
You can always change the microphone directivity
according to your own preferences.
To change the microphone settings:
1
Tap the Settings tab in the app.
2
Tap Audio settings.
3
Tap Mic in hand or Mic on desk, and select the
desired setting.
Audio format
Set the recording quality for your dictations and choose
between the audio formats WAV (PCM) and DS2 (DSS
Pro). DS2 is preset as the standard audio format, but you
can always change the audio format in Settings > Audio
settings > Audio format.
Function button assignment
Change the functionality of the right function button
on your device. Choose between End of letter, New
dictation, or Fast forward, or disable this feature. The
default assignment of the function button is set to End of
letter.

Record a dictation
Note
• If your device has only 8% or less battery power left
while you are recording, you will see a notication
message on your screen and hear a notication
sound. Your current dictation will be saved
automatically. To avoid unintended data loss, you will
neither be able to continue recording nor to start a
new recording unless you charge your device.
• While you are in recording mode, all options within
the Voice Recorder App, except for setting index
marks, are disabled for security reasons.
• Be careful not to cover the 360° microphone with your
hand or ngers while recording. This might result in a
lower recording quality.
Tip
• Your recording continues even if you leave the
recording screen. If you leave the recording screen,
the recording LED will still be lighted and you will see
a microphone symbol on the status bar.
• If you want to stop the recording, you have to go back
to the recording screen. Moving the slide switch to
the stop position doesn’t work outside the recording
screen.
• To change the slide switch assignment, go to Settings
> User interface > Slider assignment. For more
information, see Dictation app settings.
To record a dictation:
