The magic in the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker™ array microphone resides in the algorithms running on its internal DSP that enable it to form a listening beam and automatically and electronically steer that beam towards the active talker. This creates spatial filtering, which when combined with the 6 or 8 always on microphones in the array, create pickup ranges of 30 feet with a 360° field of view.
Voice Tracker™ Array Microphones can also be used for a hands-free/headset free automatic speech recognition with full vocabulary dictation products like Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The Voice Tracker’s™ long range make it ideal for home automation applications where a whole room has to be covered for command-and-control recognition.

The combination of these innovations allows the Voice Tracker to have extremely long pick up range. The ability to “hear” talkers throughout an entire room results in a strong economic advantage over the alternative of using several conventional microphones, coupled together through a mixer.
Tulsa Community College is using the Voice Tracker™ array microphones with Anystream/Echo 360 automated lecture capture system.
The microphone gives our nursing faculty the freedom of capturing lectures without worrying about audio issues. The microphones have also been useful in capturing presentations by speech students. The Voice Tracker™ allows the presenter to have a range of movement without worrying about technical glitches. We’ve deployed the Voice Tracker™ in 12 classrooms and they have been highly reliable with our automated lecture capture systems. They are more fool proof than any other microphone system we have used over the years.
