The Motion Speak Anywhere TM audio system combines the Knowles
®
Acoustics IntelliSonic TM software application with two integrated
microphones to let you record clear audio, dictate notes, and use voice
commands without the need for a microphone headset. These capabilities
make the Motion Tablet PC with Speak Anywhere technology a valuable
tool for mobile users in a variety of work settings, including small or large
groups, or for individual dictation or voice commands.
Motion Speak Anywhere TM Technology Components
• Dual, integrated, microphones — The integrated microphones help opti-
mize the sound capturing capabilities of the Tablet PC for speech recog-
nition and voice recording. The locations of the microphones have been
carefully designed to let the system detect sound input from a specific
angle, rejecting sounds from outside that angle.
• Knowles Acoustics IntelliSonic software — This software lets you direct
sounds coming from a specific direction to the microphones, while can-
celing interfering noise from other directions, thus minimizing the
effects of environmental noise and eliminating acoustic echo feedback. It
is based on the following audio technologies:
• Array Processing or “beam forming” software — Removes all sound
outside a software-defined “angle of acceptance”
• Noise Supression — Removes background and ambient noise
• Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) — Removes echo caused by the
microphone picking up the system’s speaker output, thus preventing
feedback
Motion Speak Anywhere technology provides integrated controls for:
• Speech recognition, including dictation and voice commands — Avail-
able through the TIP window
• Audio recording and playback — Available through the Microsoft Sound
Recorder or a third-party audio application, such as Microsoft Office
OneNote

Microsoft Speech Recognition Software
Accessed through the TIP interface, this Microsoft utility is the built-in
speech recognition resource for the Tablet PC that converts spoken words
into typed text or voice commands.
• Dictation mode — Changes everything you say to text; use to enter text
directly into any document or text box when you do not want to use the
pen or keyboard
• Voice command mode — Listens for specific words that correspond to
an existing list of available voice commands; use to quickly switch
between programs, for saving documents, etc.
