Wireless for increased mobility

The brand-new device will be the first Li-ion battery operated SpeechMike Premium ever launched by Philips.

State of the art technology: Lossless speech transfer

The lossless speech technology ensures the user’s voice is safely transmitted to the computer in highest audio quality and without any interruptions. Dr Brauner continues: “Our cutting edge technology ensures every word is captured from the moment you press record. You can even move up to 10 meters away from your workstation. If you do move away too far, you will be gently alarmed to move closer to your station again. In this way, no important data will ever be lost.”

The Philips SpeechMike Premium Air comes with a premium studio-quality microphone with a built-in noise reduction filter, which helps users achieve exceptional speech recognition results. The device can be used with the latest Philips SpeechExec Pro software with integrated speech recognition or with the Philips’ cloud-based dictation workflow solution SpeechLive, which amongst many features, offers a professional transcriptionist servic

This is especially perfect for heavy users in hospitals, legal practices and other roles which carry a high administrative burden” adds Dr Brauner. With an optional foot control connected, the docking station even enables hands-free recording.

Features

Studio-quality microphone for best-in-class speech recognition results

The SpeechMike Premium Air comes with a studio-quality microphone and a built-in tripple layer noise reduction filter for clearest recordings and most accurate speech recognition results.

Decoupled free-floating microphone for precise recordings without background noise

The free-floating microphone is decoupled from the device’s housing, which guarantees that almost no background, touch, click, air or structure-borne noise is recorded.

Integrated motion sensor mutes microphone when not in use

Being on the cutting edge of technology, the SpeechMike Premium Air comes with an integrated motion sensor, meaning it 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. In addition to that, custom events can be programmed, e.g., to pause and to continue the recording.

Patented 100% lossless speech technology for smooth wireless voice recording

Uncompressed wireless recording enables free movement and pacing whilst working. You can easily move up to 5 meters or 16 feet away from your workstation and your recordings are safely transmitted to your computer in highest quality, without any interruptions. The cutting edge technology ensures every word is captured from the moment you press record.

Superior docking station for high-speed wireless charging and smart pairing

The stable and innovative docking station provides wireless high-speed charging and easy pairing between your device and the docking station. Users can be flexible and work with various docking stations in different places. With an optional foot control connected, the docking station enables hands-free recording.

Freely configurable buttons and modes for a personalized device

You can freely configure the buttons on your device or use the pre-installed Secured Dragon Mode. This mode pre-configures the buttons, optimizing them for use with Dragon speech recognition software. It requires no additional driver installation, making set up easy, even in virtual environments.

Wear-free slide switch and push buttons for comfortable operation

The SpeechMike Premium Air comes with slide-switch or push-button operation. The slide switch is 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.

Antimicrobial housing and buttons for durable hygienic working

The housing of the SpeechMike Premium Air is made of antimicrobial synthetics that work against a wide range of different microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or algae. The polished, high quality pearl metal surface also makes the device non-sensitive to touch noises and fingerprints.

Superior touch sensor for integrated mouse function

The device comes with a dust and dirt resistant touch sensor for superior quality. This allows the user to easily control and navigate within applications while recording, without having to switch between the mouse and microphone.

Hands-free recording for comfortable working

An optional foot control can be connected directly to the docking station and used for comfortable hands-free recording control.

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 Air 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.
