Melville, New York, June 10, 2002 - Andrea Electronics Corporation (AMEX: AND) announced today the launch of its Superbeam® Array Microphone, a breakthrough PC microphone peripheral that was designed to enable widespread adoption of voice as a mainstream, end-user productivity tool. The Superbeam Array, enabled with Andrea's PureAudio® and DSDA® technologies, can be purchased at a price lower than a standard PC headset and represents the computer industry's first affordable microphone device that not only overcomes unwanted acoustical and electrical noises, but also the common end-user objection to wearing a headset. The Suberbeam Array is targeted for mainstream, speech-based desktop PC applications such as VoIP, voice command and control for data mining, as well as for various speech-to-text applications. Supporting the resurgence of interest in these speech-based applications, according to a recent Microsoft announcement , the company has already licensed 60 million copies of its Microsoft® Office XP, which is enabled for both voice-activated command and control and for continuous speech dictation. The Superbeam Array has garnered industry-wide attention, as evidenced by Analog Devices' announcement today to ship SoundMAX Cadenza Digital Audio Software which incorporates Andrea's PureAudio and DSDA technologies.

"We are committed to providing a high quality integrated audio experience," said Joel Christensen, Marketing Director of Intel's Desktop Platform Solutions Division. "By supporting Andrea's high-performance Superbeam Array Microphone, we are offering end-users the ability to communicate freely with their PCs, at an extremely affordable price point."

"The development of the Superbeam Array Microphone represents a milestone for Andrea Electronics as we have succeeded in providing a voice-input solution to PC developers, OEMs and system integrators requiring a cost-effective, high-performance microphone solution to advance PC communications," said Douglas J. Andrea, Chairman of Andrea Electronics Corporation. "Unparalleled in price and performance, and unique in its ability to free users from having to wear a headset, the Superbeam Array will serve as a key enabler for office productivity, supporting Andrea's vision of voice as a mainstream method of PC input."
