Features
Free floating, decoupled microphone for precise recording
The microphone in the new SpeechMike Premium is decoupled from its housing for the most incredible crystal clear recording performance ever to be delivered by a desktop dictation device. The completely redesignedmicrophone suspension guarantees that almost no background, touch, click, air or structure-borne noise is recorded. This technique is derived from studio microphones to make sure there are no sound distortions whatsoever – and to guarantee outstanding speech recognition results.
Microphone grille with optimized structure for crystal clear sound
A well-engineered microphone grille is able to make a high-end microphoneas in the new SpeechMike Premium stand out even more. The hexagonalholes used for the metal grille feature three times more open surface than itspredecessor, engineered to provide crystal clear recordings.
Integrated pop filter for perfect quality
The microphone area of the SpeechMike Premium is made of many differentlayers to make it sound as clear and original as possible. One of those is a fleece inserted above and below the microphone capsule. The fleece filters out sound distortions such as pop and hiss noise, guaranteeing perfect results even if dictating closely into the microphone.
Smart, backwards compatible firmware for extra flexibility
Customers can upgrade from their previous SpeechMike model without installing additional software. For integrators, this means no changes need to be implemented and the existing SDK can be used. The SpeechMike Premium is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems, as well as virtual environments such as Citrix, VM Ware and Hyper-V. It can be configured using SpeechControl, the convenient Philips hardware management tool.
Large speaker area for premium playback
Compared to its predecessor, the SpeechMike Premium is equipped with adouble sized-speaker area that enables it to play back recordings in clear andcrisp quality.
Ergonomically shaped for perfect fit in the hand
The device is designed to fit perfectly into the hand and reduce unintentional pressing of buttons. The trigger and the ‘command’ button on the back of the device are engineered to be in easy reach for the fingers.
Wear-free slide switch or push buttons for comfortable operation
The SpeechMike Premium comes with a slide-switch or a push-button operation. The slide switch is wear-free and ergonomically shaped with a softly ribbed surface for smooth tactile feedback and comfortable and intuitive utilization. In addition, our engineers implemented a millionfold proven contactless slider detection, making it completely wear-free for an extra-long lifetime.
Integrated motion sensor mutes microphone when not in use
Being on the cutting edge of technology, the Philips SpeechMike Premium comes with an integrated motion sensor, making it the first stationary dictation device that can be controlled by the movement of your hand. It detects when it’s put on the table, mutes the microphone, and once it is being picked up again it unmutes the microphone. There are plenty of situations this feature can be greatly beneficial; just think of an incoming phone call or someone stepping in your office. In addition to that, custom events can be programmed, e.g., to pause and to continue the recording.
Trackball for integrated mouse function
The device comes with a trackball. This allows the user to easily control and navigate within applications while recording, without having to switch between the mouse and microphone. The trackball can even be taken out of the device for cleaning, if this should ever be required. The self-lubricated and abrasive resistant Teflon bearings guarantee a smooth operation over the entire lifetime.
Freely configurable function keys for a personalized workflow
The Philips SpeechMike Premium is the most advanced dictation microphoneto date – and to give the user even more room to personalize their devices,Philips has added an instruction key at the top of the control panel – of coursefully and freely user configurable, especially useful for programming speechrecognition commands.
Antimicrobial housing and buttons for hygienic working
The SpeechMike Premium’s housing and buttons are made of antimicrobialsynthetics, guarding it against all kinds of germs. Antimicrobial materialswork against a wide range of different microorganisms such as bacteria(e.g. pneumococcal bacilli and multiresistant microorganisms such as MRSA),viruses (e.g. HIV, influenza, etc.), fungi (e.g. Aspergillus niger), or algae. Theantimicrobial effect on the SpeechMike Premium lasts for at least five years.
