Freedom of Movement

• For speech recognition applications, it is no longer necessary to sit rigidly in front of the microphone
• The user is free to lean backwards, sideways, or even move around
  For teleconferencing applications, several talkers can take part since the Voice Tracker Array Microphone rapidly steers to the individual participants

Headset-Like Performance

• The Voice Tracker Array Microphone improves signal-to-noise ratios in two ways
• First, its digital signal processor creates a listening beam (like a searchlight) that focuses on the talker and spatially filters noise from other directions
• Second, its proprietary noise reduction algorithms filter out background noise and reverberations that are present in the acoustic environment

Works at Long Range

• The Voice Tracker Array Microphone contains the largest number of array elements available today, which, when combined with its two stage noise reduction algorithms, give it the longest effective range of any array microphone

Easy to Use

• Our patented steering technology employs digital electronics and proprietary embedded algorithms
• There are no moving parts, so the Voice Tracker Array Microphone is rugged, reliable, and easy to use
• Simply plug it into your computer's sound card and a wall outlet
• No software needs to be loaded, and there is no drain on your computer's processing capacity

Suppresses Interfering Sounds

• The Voice Tracker Array Microphone is also the only array microphone to employ Location Dependent Squelch (LDS, Patent Pending) which de-sensitizes the microphone to sounds coming from pre-selected directions
• Consequently, the array can reduce unwanted sounds coming from directions outside its field of view

Voice Tracker Features

• Automatic electronic steering of "listening beam" to talker location
• Selectable steering limits (90 degrees and 180 degrees) for speech recognition and teleconferencing modes
• Selectable LDS to reduce annoying interference of additional talkers during speech recognition or feedback during teleconferencing
• Two stage noise reduction - spatial filtering and noise reduction processing
• 8 element, 18" long array for maximum range
• 5 element "in range" light to indicate location of chosen talker and sufficiency of signal
• Microphone tilt capability to facilitate desktop, monitor top, ceiling, or wall mounting

Voice Tracker array microphone can be used for

• Automatic Speech Recognition
• Meeting and Disposition Recording
• Audio and Video Conferencing
• Recording for Later Transcription
• Recording in Pathology Cut Up Rooms
• Training and Conferencing
• Recording Classrom Lectures
• Distance Learning - Audio and Video Conferencing
• Automatic Speech Recognition for Disabled Students
• Since the Voice Tracker array microphone is so versatile it has multiple uses in many different industries.
