GENERAL
PC-Software Walkabout Write
Walkabout Write is an easy to use digital transcriber system which has also been
developed as system component in combination with mobile digital dictation machine

from a dictation machine into your PC for editing. The integrated player can easily be
controlled via a foot control or with the mouse on the computer screen.
Scope of delivery
– PC software Walkabout Write
– Adapter box
– Serial connecting cable for the COM port of your PC and a 3.5 mm jack plug to the
audio sound card – Line out
Accessories
The features indicated by Dictaphone apply only when using original Dictaphone

lead automatically to the expiration of any guarantee rights.
The following accessories are available:
– Foot control 536
– Swingphone 562
– Headset 560, 561
– Dynamic earphone 556
Optional accessories: if required*, you can connect in addition a commercially available stabilized power supply unit (6V, min. 0.1 A/0.6 W – with Ø 4 mm coaxial plug)
and active loudspeakers (3.5 mm jack plug). The volume level at the headset socket is
limited to 85 dB (A).

heating or in direct sunshine. The manufacturer will offer no liability for damage resulting
from unauthorized tampering. Use only a dry cloth for cleaning. Never use chemical cleaning agents.
*In exceptional cases, it may happen that the output voltage of the COM port is not sufficient for a correct operation
of the foot control. In this case, a plug-in power supply unit is required.

Accompanying note
When marking or opening a dictation, the accompanying note can be called up by the
menu function „Edit“ > „Accompanying note“. This is transfered with every dictation.
In the dictation’s accompanying note, the transcriber finds the author’s information to the
dictation: e.g. topic, no./ref., deadline of completion, priority.
The author can select from different „Dictation types“. The transcriber then can call up the
appropriate form template in his write application. The author can select from different
„Groups“. Here he can enter the name of the department, or the working domain of the
transcriber.
The author can enter a „Topic“ (e.g. a doctor the name of a patient). He can also fill in the
„No./Ref.“ box (e.g. reference number). He can also select a transcriber layed down during
the installation and determine a deadline for the completion of the dictation.
