BigHand offers immediate Philips Digital Pocket Memo 9600 compatibility

Chicago, IL - February 26th 2007 – BigHand today announced immediate support for the new Philips DPM 9600 series of handheld devices on the same day the range was officially launched by Philips. BigHand3 Digital Dictation software integrates seamlessly with the cutting edge professional device, demonstrating that clients using BigHand technology continue to instantly benefit from ongoing industry developments.

BigHand has a history of technical leadership in the digital dictation field, back in March 2004 BigHand became the first digital dictation workflow vendor to offer Citrix and Terminal Server compatibility, a capability other suppliers are now only just announcing nearly three years later.

Dave Ames, Philips Speech Processing VP North America, commented:

“We are delighted that BigHand continue to work so closely with our development team to ensure support for the latest Philips professional devices from the word go. The care they put into technical leadership is impressive, which is a philosophy Philips Speech Processing certainly shares. We look forward to joint success with the DPM 9600 range in North America – which already looks like it offers a package of features entirely new to the market.”

The combination of features the DPM 9600 device offers includes:

- Customizable ‘smart’ buttons and slider

- ‘Drop-proof’ casing

- Quick charge USB connection with rechargeable batteries

- Separate on/off button with customizable lamp and power alert

- One of the largest screens on the market

- Advanced noise reduction technology

- An intuitive menu

Simon Lewis, Chief Technology Officer at BigHand, commented:

“The Philips DPM 9600 & 9620 devices are impressive and a welcome addition to our software offering. At BigHand we have integrated with all the leading hardware manufacturers over a number of years and the size and focus of our development team means we are able to officially support these devices ahead of competing technologies.”
