The multipurpose USB TableMikes for Speech Recognition, Voice & Music Recording and High Definition VoIP


The release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11® containing the most powerful speech recognition engine ever --utilising a 22 kHz sampling rate to improve audio quality and recognition accuracy, coincided with the emergence of Wideband or High Definition (HD) 20 kHz Voice over IP (VoIP) and other 'Unified Communications' accelerating the transition away from conventional low fidelity telephone technology.

Thanks to the unvaluable support of an international advisory committee with unparalleled experience in microphone technology and speech recognition, SpeechWare aimed to develop a desktop microphone to exploit fully the challenge posed by these two nascent developments: harness the full capability of this speech engine; and provide unmatched voice clarity for VoIP users. Moreover, the performance of this new desktop microphone has to be comparable to that of the best professional headsets; freeing users from the need to wear a headset or being physically tethered to a computer, while dictating or talking.

The multipurpose USB TableMikes for Speech Recognition, Voice & Music Recording and High Definition (HD) Voice over IP, features an industry first 'Speech Equaliser' and is specially suited for: Speech Recognition.

Under 'Normal' or HD VoIP mode, it is ideal for:

  • Voice and Music recording;
  • Full duplex (simultaneous Sound in and out) Wideband or High Definition (HD) Internet telephony (VoIP);
  • Full duplex HD Video conferencing;
  • HD Podcasting.

  • Moreover, unlike competing devices, the TableMikes can be used as a conventional USB Desktop microphone or an extremely high quality USD external card or pod, since the microphone boom is detachable and they offer an standard 3,5 mm mic-in port!

    The TableMike has been rated Best in Class with a '5 Dragon' award by Nuance, since its inception 5 years ago. It is full compatible with Windows® 7, Vista®, XP®, 2000, MacOS® X v. 10 and Linux as well as Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, Windows® Speech Recognition and other recognition engines.

    There is one model of USB TableMike for every budget: the USB 3-in-1, the 6-in-1 and the 9-in-1.
