recording.
4. To insert another spoken instruction, follow the steps from above.
Recording spoken instructions in Overwrite mode
When Overwrite mode is enabled on your device, the behavior is as follows:
•
•
Spoken instructions will be overwritten, partially or completely, without any warning.
When you start normal recording inside a spoken instruction and finish recording before you have reached the
end of the spoken instruction, the instruction is split into two parts.
For example, you have a spoken instruction with a length of 12 seconds. You position inside the instruction at
5 seconds and do normal recording for 5 seconds. Your sound file will then have a spoken instruction of
5 seconds followed by normal recording of 5 seconds followed by the remainder of the instruction of
2 seconds.
However, the total length of the instruction has been decreased to 7 seconds because the middle part has
been overwritten with the normal recording.
Recording spoken instructions in Insert mode
When Overwrite mode is enabled on your device, the behavior is as follows:
•
•
When you insert a spoken instruction before an existing one, the numbering of the consecutive instructions is
increased by 1. For example, if you inserted an instruction before INSTR 2, INSTR 2 would become INSTR 3,
INSTR 3 would become INSTR 4 and so on.
When you insert normal recording into an existing spoken instruction, the spoken instruction is split into two
individual instructions. The total number of instructions in your sound file is increased by 1. However, the
contents of the instruction are preserved and not overwritten.
Additional infomation
•
When you fast forward or fast rewind the file, the device will interrupt the current action at the insertion point of
a spoken instruction for about 1 second and it will beep. The action is then continued automatically.

Philips 9750 - User Manual
Windows XP
When installing the Philips 9750, the operating system automatically assigns a drive for the Philips 9750.
This drive appears as a 'removable disk' in the Windows Explorer. Sometimes, the drive letter assignment
for the Philips 9750 conflicts with an existing drive letter mapping; this is why the Philips 9750 cannot be
seen in the Windows Explorer. Additionally, SpeechExec Dictate displays the Philips 9750 status as DPM
(disconnected).
Solution: Mount all network drives starting with drive letters Z, Y, X (in reverse alphabetical order).
