Announcement Digta 7 Series Firmware V1.
Digta 7 Firmware Update V1.4 B145 • Setting the microphone level in Windows 7 and 8 • Acoustic and optical signals for the end of transfer to the Digta W/LAN Adapter Improvements in V1.4 B145 • Setting the microphone level in Windows 7 and 8 When the Digta 7 is used as on-line USB microphone, the microphone level must be set in DigtaSoft or in any speech recognition software being used (such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking).
Improvements in V1.4 B143 • Online microphone for speech recognition The microphone level was previously set relatively high when the Digta 7 was used as an online USB microphone to ensure high quality recording for the transcription staff, even if the author of the dictation spoke very softly. A high microphone level is however less suitable for speech recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. In firmware V1.
Feature Pack 4 functions • Messages: query the author Difficult passages in a dictation often force the secretarial staff to ask for clarification. The Digta 7 is now the only device on the market that allows them to send queries directly to the author’s dictation device. To mark the passage that requires clarification, the secretarial staff can stop dictation playback at the point in question or use an index mark and send a query in the form of a short text directly to the author.
A convenient filter function (comparable to address entry for a navigation system) now makes it possible to select the desired data set from even a very long list in only a few clicks. A group filter can also be imposed so that, for instance, users assigned to hospital wards automatically see only the patients on the their ward. The Digta 7 can store up to 1,000 records.
Digta 7 Push und Standard (Type 702) These two models can be upgraded with an upgrade license for MP3 (mono only). Its order number is GDS7005-44, its suggested retail price EUR 9.98 (price in Germany, plus VAT).
Functions in V1.3 B119 • Supports DssMover Portable GBS's new DssMover Portable, which can be installed on the Digta 7 series, is an application for the configuration of dictation devices and the transfer of dictations to the network. With DssMover Portable, users no longer need special software installed on their computers to transfer data to particular folders or send it as an e-mail attachment.
Improvements in V1.3 B119 • More unambiguous date settings A Digta 7 device allows time to be displayed in the 24-hour or the 12-hour format (AM/PM). The date can also be changed to the Anglo-Saxon sequence with the month appearing before the day. In the menu under “Display / Date and Time”, there is now a 24 or a 12 at the beginning of the “Format” entry to avoid confusion when choosing time settings.
Feature Pack 3 functions, V1.3 Build112 • Messaging function For the first time in the field of digital dictation networks the Digta 7 allows its author to be notified through the dictation machine when the transcription of a dictation has been completed by the secretarial staff. If the dictation has been completed and a copy has been left on the dictation machine, the author will receive a prompt asking whether he wishes to delete the copy.
• Notification beep during play-back at the dictation end Throughout the daily practice it happens that the authors carry on dictating after play-back for controlling purposes, forgetting to press the record button anew. If the users neither move the slide switch to stop nor start recording within 10 seconds after play-back end, the Digta 7 informs them with a beep and a notification message.
• Mute function during stop in USB audio When the Digta 7 is used as a PC microphone (e.g. dictating using a speech recognition program), surrounding noise shall not be recorded when the author is speaking. To do so the slide switch must be moved to stop. If the slide switch is in the start position, the Digta transfers the audio data to the PC via USB.
Improvements on V1.3 B112 • Faster reactions during Start Record and End Record To end a recording experienced users sometimes jerkily pull the slide switch. Sometimes recording is started again immediately. The reaction time of the dictation machine regarding fast operation could be improved. • Protection against unintentional interruption of recordings The slide switch on the Digta 7 is extremely easy to use.
Feature Pack 2 functions, V1.2 B97 • „Recording Mode“ menu with new function The “Recording Mode” menu is now available for play-back stop and recording pause. Recording modes can very easily be change there. The „Append“ mode was added to the current „Override” and “Insert” modes. In this mode you always continue the recording at the end of the dictation, even if you rewinded the dictation.
• Simplified operation in the detail menu The Digta 7 detail menu is now easier and quicker to operate because the number of entry confirmations has been reduced. Furthermore, the Digta 7 remembers the last selected function, e.g. “Number/Reference” so that it can be opened quicker during the next dictation. The “Save” function on the top level of the detail menu now directly stores the current settings of the check boxes (checked options, e.g. lock, priority).
• Digta 7 Premium BT as “Bluetooth Presenter” The Digta 7 Premium BT now offers a presenter function that can be used to control PowerPoint presentations. A particularly interesting option is the use this feature in combination with the recording function of the Digta 7 Premium BT. This allows the speaker for example, to record voice notes while presenting or to record the entire presentation. The presenter function requires a Bluetooth-compatible PC and the accompanying PC-Bluetooth software, e.g.
Feature Pack 1 functions, V1.0 B85 • Multi User Operation A list with up to 20 authors can be implemented on a Digta7 if it is used by several authors alternately. When switching on the device the authors have to select their name from the displayed list and enter their PIN. Only the dictations of the selected user will be displayed afterwards. Thus others dictations are protected from unauthorized access. The Multi User Function is only available in the Digta 7 Premium and the Digta7 Premium BT.
• Lateral function keys are freely programmable The lateral function keys can be defined on the Digta Configurator according to your requirements. For each button, quick pressing and long pressing can be individually configured. For more information on the detailed options, go to the current version of the Digta Configurator.
Extended functions in V1.0 B72 • PIN / PUK Each Digta 7 device is now kept secure from unauthorized persons via an individual PIN. The PIN function has to be activated by a system administrator. The PUK which is supplied with every Digta7, has to be entered if the PIN number was incorrectly entered more than 9 times. The detailed pdf instruction manual describes how to enter and change the PIN.
• Number/reference without pre-allocation If users want to enter a number or file reference with each dictation, they have to select the Number/Reference function in the “workflow” menu on request. For each new dictation, either entry of the previous dictation is indicated or the prefix allocated by the Digta Configurator. This is useful if only the last digit has to be modified, for example with a consecutive number. In case of extremely differing entries, the input box will remain empty.
