InSync Speech Technologies, Inc.. Buddy GooseneckMic USB

Microphone Element

Includes a unidirectional microphone element to provide clear audio signal from 1” to 9” range from the front of the element yet providing a speech signal comparable to headset microphones. This yields extremely high recognition accuracy in the high nineties with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which is comparable to good quality headsets.

USB Interface

Its USB interface is 2.0 compliant with 12 mega bit transfer rate, and it can be used in any USB 2 or USB 1.1 slot in your Windows or Macintosh computers. USB.org, the official governing body of all Universal Serial Bus applications and products, has officially certified the the USB interface to meet USB standards. The USB chip used in the circuit is designed and manufactured in Germany by a major multimedia company.

Software

Its plug and play operation uses Windows and Macintosh drivers for seamless operation.
