Overview
New DPM Wizard
The new DPM wizard enables users to simply configure their DPM according to their individual needs.
They can define the display modes (DPM7000 series), set up the default recording profiles as well as the delivery methods they would like to use after download.
It is also possible to define the preferred slide switch settings (DPM7000 series).
At the end of the configuration process a summary page displays all configuration settings again so that users can cross check whether the configuration is according to their preferences.
New DPM Settings
Advanced DPM settings give users the opportunity to further customize their Digital Pocket Memo according to their individual requirements.
In addition to the DPM wizard, users can define the smart button configuration as well as audio settings.
Furthermore, users can also configure settings like record notification beep, voice-activated recording, or jump back behavior when briefly moving the slider/rocker backwards after recording.
Improved Startup Speed
A new start-up method speeds up the application startup for dictation systems with many dictation items. In reference to previous versions, SpeechExec 8.1 pre-loads the work list contents in the background during application startup and the startup of less important software components are delayed.
As a result, SpeechExec 8.1 clients start up much faster, even with lots of dictations in one folder.
Further Enhanced Dragon Speech Recognition Support
SpeechExec 8.1 has been enhanced to be compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 /12.5 and Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2.
Note: If you are using an older version of SpeechExec Pro Dictate with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12/12.5 or Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2, it is highly recommended to update your installation to SpeechExec Pro Dictate 8.1.
During the development of the interface to DNS 12/12.5 Speech Processing Solutions implemented speed and stability enhancements which make the use of the SpeechExec Pro Dictate front-end speech recognition even more enjoyable.
End of Support for SpeechExec 5 and 6
The support of SpeechExec 5.x has therefore been stopped with the release of SpeechExec 7. From version 8.1 onwards Speech Processing Solutions has ceased the support for SpeechExec 6.x as well.
Please note that the SpeechExec 6.x Smart Keys as well as the previous SpeechExec 5.x Dongles and Smart Keys are no longer available.
Windows Operating Systems
Windows 8.1 Support
Speech Processing Solutions performed preliminary testing on Windows 8.1 and found that SpeechExec and its software components version 8.1 and later installed and ran on this operating system with no major issue.
Note: extensive additional testing will be performed with all SpeechExec releases from January 2014 onwards.
ATTENTION: Upgrading your operating system to Windows 8.1 may harm your SpeechExec installation!
If you upgrade the operating system of your PC to Windows 8.1 Speech Processing Solutions urgently recommend taking following steps into account:
- Return (revoke) your SpeechExec license and store the license key on a safe place (see instructions below).
- Uninstall SpeechExec — your SpeechExec settings will stay on your PC.
- Run your Windows upgrade
- Install the latest SpeechExec software by using the license key you have saved before. SpeechExec will take over the settings from the previous installation and you can continue working with SpeechExec.
End of Support for Windows XP
Microsoft has announced to stop Windows XP support from 8th of April 2014 onwards.
Therefore, Speech Processing Solutions have decided to stop the support of Windows XP for all SpeechExec releases from 2014 onwards as Speech Processing Solutions cannot expect that any bugs that might be related to Windows XP USB drivers will be fixed by Microsoft.
This does not mean that SpeechExec will stop working on Windows XP computers, but Speech Processing Solutions will not provide any testing or support for Windows XP PCs for all upcoming releases in 2014 onwards.
Please note: SpeechExec 8.1 is the LAST RELEASED VERSION that officially supports Windows XP.
