This Bundles Includeds Dragon Premium 11 Software Plus The Andrea SuperBeam Hands free array Microphone.
Why choose a Superbeam Array Handsfree Microphone Dragon Bundle?
- It can be annoying or inconvenient to wear a headset. Even cordless headsets can be a problem. 
- This bundle is cheaper than buying these products individually.
- Instead of wearing a headset - Consider the SuperBeam headset free option.
- Attach the SuperBeam to your monitor and dictate directly at the screen. Its really natural and convenient - Its not quite as accurate as the NC181USB microphone but it's accurate in a quiet environment. It take a little longer to train than a headset does.
- If you do need noise cancelling or if theres a lot of ambient background noise, choose the NC181USB headset option instead of the Superbeam. Why use a SuperBeam instead of a headset ? Because you want handsfree and headset free dictation! Andrea's new SuperBeam and USBD-SA stereo full duplex desktop microphone audio system is great for voice applications including Dragon 10 speech recognition, internet telephony, VOIP, SKYPE, video conferencing and dictation / recording into computers.
How does it work?
Essentially the small SuperBeam microphone is attached to your monitor pointing towards you. It is then plugged into the supplied digital USB adapter which is in turn connected to the USB port of your computer. You can now dictate totally hands free!
You do need to set this unit up in a quiet environment as it is less tolerant of background noise then a normal headset microphone. This Andrea Microphone has a higher Nuance/Dragon accuracy rating than the Voice Tracker by Acoustic Magic.
Once you setup up your user in Dragon NaturallySpeaking and select USB Array Microphone you can dictate directly into Dragon NaturallySpeaking by simply speaking at your monitor.
You are now freed from ever wearing a headset again! With sufficient training ( it take a little longer than a headset microphone) we have found these to be nearly as accurate as a high quality headset when using Dragon. These also work great with VOIP such as Skype and Gtalk MSN etc.
