Microphones – We sell many different types of input devices based on your needs.

The critical factor in the performance of speech recognition software is in the delivery of the human voice. Transmission of the operator’s voice must be accomplished at very high standards of clarity, precision and consistency. The key element in providing superior transmit performance is the headset microphone. This may vary from person to person, depending upon your voice quality, pitch and volume.  Ask us what the best microphone for your individual use is.

In the meantime, here are some of the microphones that we have found yield the highest accuracy:

• No need for additional drivers – MyBuddyMic™ is optional for most normal operations

Customization

Buddy DesktopMic 7G includes one programmable button and two RGB lights for visual feedback. Button functions are re-assignable using our free MyBuddyMic download software. The software interface is clear and user-friendly, allowing you to change functionality such as Push-To-Talk, Mute, or direct control in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The button can generate three distinct events (clicking, double clicking, or pressing and holding) for a total of three unique button events. Button actions also simulate the use of keyboard, mouse, or joystick, so you can even create re-usable text (e.g. for a sign-off). MyBuddyMic allows you to save button assignments for multiple profiles. Use one profile for your work computer and another at home. Three pre-programmed profiles are included with MyBuddyMic to support three microphone control modes. Choose which you like, or modify for your personal preference.

Each event generated by a button can be programmed to carry out one or more actions. These action-triggered events can:

• Mute or activate a microphone for Push-To-Talk or mute toggle
• Turn a light on or off
• Simulate a keyboard to send a user-stored string, key combinations, simulate a mouse, send a message to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, etc.

The microphone unit can store up to 500 separate actions or data strings. MyBuddyMic software is required to customize advanced operations, but the majority of basic operations need neither programming nor driver software on the target computer. Advanced operations include maintaining a list of voice commands that can be sent to a speech engine such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
