TOSHIBA Mic Effect
TOSHIBA Mic Effect provides you with a hands-free environment for
holding mutual communication via the Internet Protocol or Local Area
Network. If you wish to communicate with someone on your computer, you
can use a messenger application. However, with such an application, you
would hear your own voice returning to you as echo during the
communication if you did not use a headset system or headphone.
TOSHIBA Mic Effect will reduce these echoes generated on your computer.
TOSHIBA Mic Effect also provides you the Microphone Array. The
Microphone Array function eliminates sounds and noise originating outside
the range by specifying the target range and direction of the microphone
input.
For more instructions for this software, click start, point to All Programs,
point to TOSHIBA, point to Utilities and click TOSHIBA Mic Effect Help.
