We give the entire SpeechWare TableMike series our "Best in Class" award. While there are important functionality differences between the 3 models, they all share characteristics that set them apart from all other table-mounted microphones on the market, including: 1) Auto-gain technology allowing automatic mic volume adjustments when changing distance from the mic, 2) outstanding digital signal processing to eliminate noise, 3) unique ability to use this microphone from distances between 10 and 20 inches and 4) a highly intuitive and functional "TableMike Configuration Application" which allows simple programming of accessory buttons. See the video below for a "hands on" comparison of the 3 models.

Push Button Simplicity! All of our current generation SpeechWare TableMikes feature newly designed push-buttons which are large, visible and respond to a gentle push. In addition, the newly released "TableMike Configuration Utility" allows programming of the two volume buttons to affect up to six actions including initiating Dragon commands, Dragon Hotkeys, and emulation of computer key-strokes in all Windows applications, including versions of Dragon.

The 3-in-1 TableMike

This is the "third generation" TableMike from SpeechWare and the result of several years of the best Belgian engineering and input from a number experienced speech recognition users/resellers including Chuck Runquist, Larry Allen, Lunis Orcutt and Speech Recognition Solutions. Unique to this most recent build of the TableMike is larger, more easily pushed buttons which allow very simple use of the volume buttons with the TableMike Configuration Utility (available as free download).

Comments: Key changes from the first generation include 1) a more sensitive microphone element and 2) changes in the circuit board that includes "declicking" algorithms to heighten further the immunity from external noise. We have extensively tested the second-generation electronics and found it to be truly amazing. Unlike any other product we know, it allows practical dictation from a distance up to 20 inches. In terms of accuracy and external noise rejection, this product will perform exactly like the 6-in-1. Please view the "product demo" link with the 6-in1 to get an idea of how the 3-in-1 works. This "third generation" table mike differs from the second generation unit only in have somewhat larger, more easily pushed buttons on the base. Functionally it is identical to the second generation 3-in-1 TableMike

An added bonus is that the Up/Down volume buttons can be reconfigured using the TableMike Configuration Utility to emulate up to six different keystrokes/hotkeys or Dragon commands.

This product will also work well with a Mac computer. For a great review on use with a Mac see this review from MacWorld. In order to use a SpeechMike with a Mac you need to follow a few simple step detailed in our TableMike Mac Set-up Page.

I used Dragon Legal 12 six years ago before retiring. Recently I decided to start back dictating. I upgraded to Dragon Legal 15 and purchased a SpeechWare 3-in-1 TableMike. I am amazed at the accuracy of and the freedom from headphones in using SpeechWare 3-in-1 TableMike. I wished that I had this combination when practicing law.

I also found working with Speech Recognition Solutions a pleasure. I highly recommend Speech Recognition Solutions for all your speech recognition needs.

After trying headset microphones, both handheld microphones, I've settled on the Speechware 3 in 1. It is a quality microphone with great accuracy and works great for dictating into my emr. For me, I didn't see that the more expensive TableMikes were necessary.

A very expensive exercise. I have combined this with a Dragon update. Over the years this is my third serious attempt at using speech recognition. If you can’t achieve close to 100% it is worthless. I am achieving that this time. Most errors on playback are from my own pronunciation not from the equipment or software.

From Michael of Durham, North Carolina on 6/6/2016.

Eventually worked well. Had to do "check microphone" 5-6 times before it (or the softrware) settled on a volume range that produced good quality voice and good quality accuracy. Did all this in the near field mode (blue light) did not bother to train the farfield mode (green light). I think there was something to this effect in the instructions you provided. I'm pretty satisfied with the purchase.

You must choose between several configurations for installation. So it is not as simple as plugging in a USB cable. However, the noise cancellation appears to work very well compared to my old microphone.

From Marvin Szymkowicz of Bethesda, Maryland on 4/7/2016.

I am a long time Dragon user. I bought this to replace a USB headset mic. The headset gave accurate voice recognition, but the process of putting on and taking off the headset was a disincentive to using it. The tableMike is always ready to go.

The TableMike is not quite as accurate as the headset, but it is an acceptable trade-off for the convenience.

Very easy to set up. I use it for Dragon and the quality and convenience are much better than the series of headsets that I previously used. Very satisfied.

From Anonymous of oakland, Maine on 8/29/2014.

great microphone, actually recording this with it. Base is nice and heavy, feels sturdy. Connections seem solid. I have been a dragon user for over 10 years. I have been a medical transcription dragon user for at least 3 years. This particular microphone has a normal and VOIP range which works out great. I haven't played much around with the long-range. I'm usually at a computer between patient's inputting information. Nice on off feature on the unit allows you to maintain recording mode on the DragonBar, but mute locally. So far word recognition is pretty good. Seems comparable to any of the headsets I was using, and the great thing is I don't have that hanging around my neck anymore. I was only using the microphone component and didn't like the headset on my head anyway as I really don't need to hear anything.

overall pleased, could've been a little less expensive though.

From Anonymous of Bentonville, Arkansas on 5/24/2014.

Used the previous version of TableMike and this one is even better. Using it with Dragon Medical Practice Edition. The accuracy has blown me away. Follow these steps for supreme accuracy. These tips are a few years of experience between two different versions. Use it in blue mode for best accuracy no matter what anyone tells you. Initially, I had the microphone angled up from desktop somewhat toward my mouth a few inches away and got great results. A few days ago, for some reason, I repositioned to where most of the arm of the microphone is straight up and then turned at the top nearly 90 degrees so that the head of the microphone was totally parallel to the desktop. That way it was aimed more toward the back of my throat at the level of my lower lip (or slightly below) about 2 inches away. Even though accuracy was awesome before, these subtleties took accuracy to a new stratosphere. Being able to use at a distance is nice but you can't beat accuracy of close up.
