- Everything you need is included with your SmartMic™
Step 1
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 a 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.
Step 2
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.
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), and on both sides if you have a dual SmartMic mask (SM300 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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
After the microphone is properly tuned, you should not need to re-tune it unless you change computers or if 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 retune the microphone for your “other voice”.
