Dragon on the move
Dragon speech recognition
has reached new levels of
convenience with its latest
releases. Improving productivity
and reducing the need for
paperwork, the new solutions
include Dragon Professional
Individual, an all-new version
of Dragon for PC, with support
for multi-voice transcriptions;
and the cloud-based Dragon
Anywhere mobile app for
iOS and Android. The latter
enables mobile professionals
to dictate and edit documents
of any length directly on an
iOS/Android device. Automatic
synchronisation with Dragon
desktop editions enables mobile
workers to use customised
vocabulary, voice shortcuts and
frequently-used text (or auto-text)
commands when on the go.
Free receipt
software
PFU Limited is offering free
receipt software for use with
Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners.
ScanSnap Receipt for PCs and
Macs digitises paper receipts
and extracts useful information
like the invoice amount, date
and tax information. For
efficient expenses tracking
and bookkeeping, data can be
exported as CSV, PDF and JPEG
files. The software is provided
as part of automated ScanSnap
software updates and via a
download link.

TheMagicTouch (TMT) is bringing
out a new version of WoW
transfer paper as part of a sub-
£2,000 solution for decorating
dark garments and promotional
products. Used in conjunction
with the TMT/Oki C711WT
(colour & white toner) LED
printer, WoW7.8 lets users print
in full colour to almost any fabric
or garment regardless of colour
or textile composition, including
cotton, polyester, denim, nylon,
soft-shell, polypongee and most
performance fabrics. WoW7.8 is
available in A4 and A4XL sizes
and has the ability to produce
full-colour multiple logos per
sheet for as little as 20p per
transfer, subject to size.
Epson has added two wireless printers to its
economical WorkForce Pro business inkjet range.
The 34 pages per minute WF-6590DWF and WF-
6090DW are claimed to have up to 80% lower energy
consumption than competitive colour laser printers
and a 50% lower cost per page. Because they use
inkjet technology, they produce no heat and there’s
no fan noise during or after printing. To minimise user
interventions, the printers have a maximum paper
capacity of 1,581 pages and the option of XXL ink
cartridges that can print up to 10,000 pages in black
and 7,000 pages in colour. Other useful productivity
features include automatic two-sided printing; printing
from/scanning to mobile devices using WiFi Direct or
NFC technology; secure PIN printing; USB printing/
scanning; and a large colour touchscreen. The printers
cost £569 and £399 respectively.
Smartphone control
With the launch of the KYOCERA
MyPanel app, business
users can now operate their
KYOCERA printers and MFPs
via an iOS, Android or Windows
smartphone connected to the
corporate Wi-Fi network. This
provides a consistent touch-
screen user experience across
all supported printers including
those with basic LCD
panels. In addition
to print, copy and
scan functions, the
app lets users save
preferred settings as
personal workflows
that can be used
with other KYOCERA
devices and connect
to and print from
cloud services, such
as Evernote, Dropbox
and OneDrive.
Hands-free simplicity
Do you still lug around a bulging briefcase or have you
mastered the art of travelling light? In this era of smartphones,
cloud storage and cloud printing, there is no need to carry
heavy laptops and bundles of paper; almost everything you
need can be accessed through the smartphone in your pocket.
The Olympus VP-10 voice recorder is tailor-made for this pared
down, hands-free workstyle. Removing the need to carry a
notebook, the pen-like VP-10 can be kept in your pocket or
bag – even when recording. Anti-Rustle technology eliminates
incidental noises and keeps 360-degree recordings crystal-
clear. A recording switch on the top of the device lets you
turn the device on and start recording with one touch. The
VP-10 has 4GB of internal memory – enough for 1,620 hours
of recording – and a Direct USB connection for downloading
audio files to a computer. It costs £79.99.
