Audio & Speech Recognition

The PowerMic III uses a unidirectional, noise-canceling microphone designed to isolate the speaker’s voice and support accurate speech recognition in environments with ambient noise.

Official audio specifications include:

• Microphone frequency response: 20 Hz–16,000 Hz
• Speaker frequency response: 500 Hz–5,000 Hz
• Signal-to-noise ratio: 70 dB
• Integrated speaker for playback
• Flush, angled microphone element for a comfortable speaking position and consistent recording level

Connectivity & Productivity

The wired USB connection provides audio, control, and power through a compatible computer USB port. Its onboard audio processing eliminates the need to rely on the computer’s internal sound card.

Integrated mouse controls, programmable buttons, and dedicated dictation keys allow users to navigate templates, select fields, review text, and control supported dictation applications without repeatedly switching between the microphone, mouse, and keyboard.

Ergonomics / Professional Workflow

The contoured handheld design places primary dictation, navigation, and mouse controls within easy reach of the user’s thumb. The angled microphone element supports a natural speaking position, while the included holster provides convenient storage beside a workstation.
