New SpeechWare 3-in-1 TableMike (TK03)
This is the newly released TableMike from SpeechWare and the result of more than a year of the best Belgian engineering and input from a number experienced speech recognition users/resellers including Chuck Runquist, Larry Allen, Lunis Orcutt and Speech Recognition Solutions. While the first generation product was good and clearly on par with other table-mounted microphones, the soon to be released "second generation" 3-in-1 is looking to be nothing less than extraordinary.
Features/Specifications:
- USB interface (v.1 and 2.0 compliant) with audio output and input Sound ports
- Detachable boom with professional hi-fi mini-XLR connectors for easier removal, portability and storage
- Speech Equaliser for optimum Speech recognition performance (like a headset!) and Normal or HD VoIP mode

- Compatible voice applications: Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, Microsoft Speech for Windows®, ViaVoice®, etc.
- Capsule type: Back Electret Condenser with Cardioid Polar Pattern
- Control Panel: Digital buttons to avoid unwanted noise 'clicks'
- Push Button modes: Always On / Press to Lock / Press to Talk
- ADC sample resolution and rates: 16 bit mono and up to an exceptional 48 kHz for both Recording and Playback (maximum of 22 kHz in best competing devices!)
- Sensitivity: -37 dB@1kHz, SPL=1Pa
- SNR: an exceptional 92 dB, 1kHz at 1 Pa
- Frequency response and Output Impedance: 80 - 20,000 Hz and 1700 ohms
- Sound ports: Standard 3.5 mm mono mic-in and 3.5 mm stereo out with 2 Watts

Comments: We have sold out of the first generation 3-in-1 microphone. We expect the arrival of the "second generation" 3-in-1 in early February. The second generation unit includes two keychanges, including 1) a more sensitive microphone element and 2) changes in the circuit board that includes "declicking" algorithms to heighten further the immunity from external noise. We have tested a prototype of the second generation and found it to be truly amazing. Unlike any other product we know, it allows practical dictation from a distance up to 20 inches. In terms of accuracy and external noise rejection, this product will perform exactly like the soon-to-be-released 6-in-1. Please view the "product demo" link with the6-in1 to get an idea of how the new 3-in-1 will work. Again, we expect arrival of the second generation during the first week of February, but you can reserve one by pre-ordering now.

SpeechWare 6-in-1 TableMike (TK06) - Coming Soon!
This microphone has undergone re-design with the best Belgian engineering and is currently in production in Taiwan. It is expected to be available in April of 2012. Please check back for additional specification, other details, and pricing..
This microphone has all the features of the 3-in-1 plus:
- a longer boom (18 inches)
- integrated speaker with volume controls
- a jack for integration with an optional foot pedal
- an accessory USB jack

Comments: We have a final pre-production model of this microphone in our hands for testing. This unit takes advantage of the same circuit board as the "second generation" 3-in-1 model and on prelimnary testing appears to be an extraordinary product which combines a long reach (dictation up to 20 inches from the microphone element), a very high level of accuracy, and anamazing degree of external noise rejection. We have posted some preliminary results with the microphone (see link above).

Foot Pedal for SpeechWare 6-in-1 & 9-in-1TableMike
This optional foot pedal connects to the back of your 6-in-1 or 9-in-1 TableMike and allows you to turn the microphone on and off with a tap of your foot. This is made specially for use with this microphone and is imported from Belgium.
Comments: if you have difficulties using your arms to turn you microphone off and on, this is an ideal accessory for use with the SpeechWare 6-in-1 and 9-in-1 TableMike. Please note that this is not for use with the 3-in-1 microphone shown above.
