"Andrea's customized digital microphone technologies with speech enhancing software allows us to provide consumers with solutions that make it easier for people to interact with their PCs -- enabling a natural language interface," said Rob Pace, product manager, mobile and consumer options, IBM. "Andrea continues to work to make voice recognition a reality."

"IBM continues to lead the way in voice recognition solutions, and we are proud that they have selected Andrea as the audio input system provider for this truly unique product," said Douglas J. Andrea, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Andrea Electronics Corporation. "We believe our years of research and development in the areas of microphone acoustics and speech enhancing software has enabled us to now create cutting edge audio input solutions."

The IBM UltraPort Digital Array Microphone, designed specifically for IBM's innovative UltraPort connector, incorporates Andrea's patented Digital Super Directional Array 2.0 (DSDA(R)) and patent-pending PureAudio(TM) 2.0 noise cancelling software algorithms to enhance speech-enabled applications in mobile, as well as home and office environments. The microphone comes with an UltraPort/USB converter, USB cable and tripod to facilitate using them on selected ThinkPad or NetVista systems with a functional USB port.

By utilizing the accompanying accessory kit, and IBM's ViaVoice(R) voice recognition software which is included with the microphone, the user of a compatible ThinkPad or NetVista is able to interact untethered, headset-free, navigating through Windows, dictating text and recording wave files. ViaVoice allows users to create documents, e-mail and instant messages simply and quickly with spoken commands. The software recognizes 150,000 English words from the first use and can add up to 64,000 words. ViaVoice can additionally spell and pronounce the 260,000 words in the back-up dictionary.
