Philips Speechmike Pro [new]
While ergonomics enable use, audio quality determines usability. Speech recognition engines (like Nuance Dragon or Philips SpeechLive) are only as good as the audio they process. The SpeechMike Pro employs a unidirectional condenser microphone with advanced noise cancellation. In practical terms, this means it captures the user’s voice while rejecting the ambient chaos of an open-plan office, a police cruiser, or a busy nursing station.
