Free floating, decoupled microphone for precise recording

The Microphone in the new SpeechMike Premium is decoupled from it's housing for the most incredible crystal-clear recording ever to be delivered by a desktop dictation device.  The completely redesigned microphone suspension guarantees that almost no background, touch, click air or structure-borne noise is recorded.  

Microphone grille with optimised structure for crystal clear sound

A well engineered microphone grille is able to make a high end microphone as in the new SpeechMike Premium stand out even more. The hexagonal holes used for the metal grille feature three times more open surface than its predecessor, engineered to provide crystal-clear recordings.

Integrated pop filter for perfect quality

The microphone area of the SpeechMike Premium is made of many different layers to provide audio as clear and as close to the original as possible. One of those is a fleece inserted above and below the microphone capsule. The fleece filters out sound distortions such as pop and hiss noise, guaranteeing perfect results even when dictating close to the microphone.   

Large speaker area for premium playback

Compared to it's predecessor, the SpeechMike Premium is equipped with a double-sized speaker are that enables the device to play back recordings in clear and crisp quality.

Ergonomically designed for a perfect fit

The device is designed to fit perfectly into the hand and reduce unintentional pressing of buttons. The trigger and the "command" button on the back of the device are engineered to be in easy reach for the fingers.   

Wear-free slide switch controls or push buttons for comfortable operation

The SpeechMike Premium comes with either a slide switch or push button operation. The slide switch is wear-free and ergonomically shaped with a softly ribbed surface for smooth, tactile feedback and comfortable and intuitive utilisation. In addition, our engineers implemented a millionfold proven contactless slider detection, making it completely wear-free for an extended device lifetime. 

Integrated motion sensor mutes microphone when not in use

Being at the cutting edge of technology, the Philips SpeechMike Premium comes with an integrated motion sensor, making it the first stationary dictation device that can be controlled by the movement of your hand. It detects when it's put on the table; once it is picked up again the microphone will be un-muted. 

Trackball for integrated mouse function

The device comes with a trackball. This allows the user to easily control and navigate within applications while recording, without having to switch between the mouse and microphone. The trackball can even be taken out of the device for cleaning, if this should ever be required. The self-lubricated and abrasive resistant Teflon bearings guarantee a smooth operation over the entire lifetime.

Freely configurable function keys for a personalised workflow

The Philips SpeechMike Premium is the most advanced dictation microphone to date – and to give the user even more room to personalize their devices, Philips has added an instruction key at the top of the control panel – of course fully and freely user configurable, especially useful for programming Speech Recognition commands.

Antimicrobial housing and buttons for hygienic working

The SpeechMike Premium’s housing and buttons are made of antimicrobial synthetics, guarding it against all kinds of germs. Antimicrobial materials work against a wide range of different microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g. pneumococcal bacilli and multiresistant microorganisms such as MRSA), viruses (e.g. HIV, influenza, etc.), fungi (e.g. Aspergillus niger), or algae. The antimicrobial effect on the SpeechMike Premium lasts for at least five years.

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 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.
