Description The Dictaphone ExecTalk PlusTM voice pro- cessing system is a deluxe, fully-featured machine with enhanced features designed for the convenience of both the dictator and the transcriptionist. Dictation features in- clude a 3-line time line display, a combined alarm clockltape counter/stopwatchltime counter, voice-activated recording (VOX), one-step Conference recording, Telephone recording (using an induction coil or adapter), a mute control for filtering out or reducing background noise, and a full series of alert tones. The ExecTalk Plus dic- tatingltranscribing machine uses a Lite MikeTM hand microphone with separate Let- ter and Special Instruction Q-AlertB indexing controls. An optional telephone style hand- set microphone and cradle are also available.

For the transcriptionist, the ExecTalk Plus desktop includes scan (for displaying the contents of the cassette on the time line), search (for previewing special instructions), letter and instruction counters, a hold fea- ture, audible single and double cue tones, fully adjustable auto backspace and built-in erase. To transcribe from the ExecTalk Plus unit, add a DictamaticB foot control and choice of headsets.

Machines equipped with a two-speed TAPE SPEED switch, permit you to record (and play back) at half speed, doubling the re- cording capacity of a single cassette to up to two full hours. Machines with a FAST PLAY button permit you to listen to play- back at a speed approximately 25% faster than normal.

The ExecTalk Plus unit comes with an AC power supply, a blank cassette and a dust cover.

Holding the microphone approximately 3 inches from your mouth, press and hold the RECORD button. (Record LED illumi- nates and On LED modulates.) Begin speaking in a normal voice.

Release the RECORD button to stop recording. (Record LED extinguishes.)

For continuous recording, use Record Lock mode. If you wish to record "hands free," you can leave the microphone in its cradle.

Press ON button on the desktop control panel. Press LOCK button on the hand micro- phone. To stop recording, press STOP

If you are recording in a noisy location, move the MUTE switch to the ON position to reduce recording of excessive back- ground noise.

(See Dictation Display section for informa- tion on the multi-function LCD display.)

Voice-Activated (VOX) Recording

While using the Vox mode, you can dictate hands-free and pause as much as you want without wasting tape. Your voice causes recording to start. When you pause, the tape stops moving until you begin speaking again.

For Vox recording:

Press ON button.

Move VOX switch on control panel to ON position.

Control Panel

Depending upon the amount of background noise, you may need to ad- just Vox sensitivity; slide the TONENOX control to the right (+) to increase sen- sitivity or towards the left (-) to decrease sensitivity.

Press LOCK button on hand microphone. (Microphone may remain in cradle.)

Recording begins when you start speak- ing. Tape movement continues for approx- imately four seconds after voice stops and resumes when speaking continues. -

To stop Vox recording:

Move VOX switch to OFF position. To stop tape motion, press STOP.

NOTE: Cue tones can be recorded in Vox mode. (See Q-Alert Indexing.) Vox can also be used in conference and Telephone Record modes.

Q-Alert@ Indexing

When you finish dictating a letter or docu- ment, mark this position on the tape. Mark- ing the place where each letter ends makes it easy for you to find your place for review and allows the transcriptionist to locate eas- ily each individual letter andlor special instruction.

To record a Letter cue tone:

At the end of your letter or document, press and release the "C' (Letter) cue

button on the hand microphone. A tone is recorded, the count on the Letters counter increases by one, and a space appears on the upper time line to separate the segment bars representing that document from the next document.

To record a Special instruction such as a priority designation for the transcriptionist:

At the point where you want to record a special instruction, press and release the "S" (Special Instruction) cue button on the hand microphone before dictating the instruction. Two tones are recorded, a segment bar appears on the lower time line display and the count on the Instruc- tions counter increases by one.

A maximum of 28 cues of each type can be recorded on a single cassette.

Reviewing Dictation

You may listen to your dictation through the speaker in the hand microphone or through the unit's internal speaker (move SPEAKER switch on the desktop unit to the ON position).

To rewind, press and hold the REWIND1 PLAY button on the Lite Mike microphone. During rewind you will hear audible feed- back and all cue tones to facilitate place- finding. Release button for automatic, playback.
