VIENNA--()--Speech Processing Solutions, global leader in professional dictation recently launched their new Philips voice recorders. The devices are specifically designed to offer best-in-class audio quality. Whether users wish to record notes, conversations, lectures, interviews, music or meetings, there is a perfectly suited Philips Voice Tracer available for them.

Designed to record: Superior to any smartphone app

Dr. Thomas Brauner, CEO of Speech Processing Solutions explains: “Smartphones simply cannot compete with devices specifically designed to record audio. The two key advantages are sound quality and battery life. Superior microphones create clear voices and a smart algorithm reduces background noise to an absolute minimum. And while a typical smartphone will turn itself off in only a few hours, the battery of a Philips Voice Tracer can last up to 50 hours.”

The recorders use unique technology such as the AutoAdjust+ and AutoZoom+ features to achieve superior sound quality. Especially in environments where the sound levels are constantly changing or when a speaker is standing further away, these features offer clear advantages over any smartphone equipped with only a basic microphone.

Brauner continues: “Another strong advantage is that the device is always ready to record. The ‘one-touch recording’ feature enables intuitive, blind operation. Simply press the red button at any time, and the device will begin recording. A smartphone will never give you this use of use, as you need to always look at the screen, enter your pin code and launch an app. This considerably slows you down and limits your flexibility”.

Philips voice recorders receive excellent reviews

One of the leading technology comparison sites Audiotranskription.de conducted a test comparing a smartphone and several voice recorders in various situations, such as in an office environment and in a noisy cafeteria. “After conducing our test recordings, our number one device is very clear,” states Audiotranskription.de, proclaiming the Philips Voice Tracer as their clear favorite. The review highlights the high cost-benefit ratio of the device, as well as its extremely long battery life of over 50 hours and its durable aluminum housing.

Philips Voice Tracers awarded six stars Dragon Nuance rating

Following the success of previous Philips dictation devices, the entire new voice recorder range has been awarded a six-star Dragon rating by the speech recognition leader Nuance. CEO Dr. Thomas Brauner explains: “We have been awarded the highest possible rating by Nuance, showing that our devices can deliver first-class results when it comes to speech recognition results.”
