First, like any speech
recognition microphone, you must plug your mask into a
USB adapter, which then goes to a USB port on your
computer to obtain accurate speech recognition. During
speech training for new user set-up, the SmartMic can be
tuned to your unique voice sensitivity level.
The SmartMic is factory pre-tuned to an average setting
for most users. This may provide a satisfactory voice
level for you, but do not hesitate to adjust the
sensitivity level to attain the most accurate speech
recognition. The SmartMic is designed to work best with
the Andrea USB adapter.
To adjust your SmartMic for maximum speech recognition
accuracy, you will be adjusting the small white tuning
screw inside the mask, as shown in the photo below.

Second, remove the front piece of foam in the mask. The
tuning screw is located inside the mask (see photo
above) on the left side if you have a single SmartMic
mask (SM100 series), or a SmartMic with back-up TT-900 mic (SM200 series). PLEASE USE CAUTION: This
screw CANNOT be turned all the way around or
non-warranty damage will occur. Only use the
tuning tool provided with your SmartMic to turn
the screw. Only VERY FINE ADJUSTMENTS are required. Turn
clockwise to increase the sensitivity to your voice if
you have a small voice, or counterclockwise to reduce
voice sensitivity for louder voices. Once adjustment is
complete, replace the foam.
After the microphone is properly tuned, you should not
need to re-tune it unless your voice changes
significantly or you want to whisper very
quietly. Normally, you should not have to re-tune the
microphone. However, if you notice that your level of
recognition is degraded by a voice change then you
should re-tune the microphone for your �other voice�. |
