Philips' newest mobile voice recorder earned the highest recording accuracy score by Nuance Communications, in addition to winning the 2016 Red Dot Product Design Award for exceptional ergonomic design.

Philips SpeechAir combines the latest voice technology advancements such as a camera and barcode scanner, along with traditional dictation features including a comfortable slide-switch, extended battery life, professional voice file editing and maximum security controls. The device is built on the Android operating system and it seamlessly connects with all Philips dictation solutions, allowing for a complete mobile workflow dictation solution.
