Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone for Speech Recognition
In order to get reasonable accuracy with speech recognition software, it is usually necessary to place the microphone in close proximity to your mouth by wearing a headset microphone or using a handheld microphone.
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone is so sensitive, and its sound quality is so good, that it provides headset/handheld mic accuracy at ranges of a few feet, eliminating the encumbrance of wearing a headset or holding a handheld mic when using speech recognition software..
Few desktop microphones are certified by Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and those that are, are certified at ranges of 6 to 9 inches. The Voice Tracker™ array microphone is certified at ranges of 18 to 24 inches.
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone locates a talker and electronically steers a "listening beam," like an acoustic searchlight, in that direction. This creates spatial filtering; sounds and reverberation from other parts of the room are not picked up. In addition, digital noise reduction processing removes background noise. This two-stage noise reduction, coupled with the sensitivity of eight "always on" microphone elements, gives the Voice Tracker™ outstanding range and sound quality ideal for use with speech recognition software.
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone has been tested and certified by the following Automatic Speech Recognition software vendors:
- Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Nuance)
- iListen (MacSpeech)
- Via Voice (IBM)
