iPARROTT
MULTIMEDIA HEADSET 10-3
|
Quality voice recognition hardware for the Macintosh is
here! Macsense has teamed up with voice recognition leader, VXI, to
provide a new line of headsets that will change the way you interact with
your computer.
The most affordable unit in the new line of iParrott
headsets is the iParrott 10-3. Users can connect the iParrott 10-3 to a home
computer to perform various multi-media applications, such as
online chatting and Internet gaming. Users will soon be able to draft email messages
or compose large documents
without ever touching the keyboard! (Several software companies are
currently
developing dictation programs scheduled for release in January 2000.)
The Best Headset Around?
The iParrott 10-3 uses cutting-edge technology to provide the clearest
voice recognition system currently available to Mac users at an affordable price. With its
high-quality electret microphone and superior noise- canceling technology,
the iParrott offers vocal distortion rates that are five times lower than
competing headsets. This means speech comes across loud and clear.
The iParrott's ratcheted headband adjusts to provide a
comfortable fit, and a flexible microphone boom lets users position the
microphone in the most optimal location. The lexan plastic headset
is durable without compromising the headset's attractive look and
feel.
Award Winning Voice Translation
The iParrott 10-3 features Parrott Translator technology, which received
CTI magazine's "Product of the Year Award" in 1998. This special
translator box resolves compatibility issues by optimizing the
configurations of a computer's sound card and voltage bias in order to
provide the clearest and most efficient voice reception and recognition.
Easy to Use
The iParrott 10-3 speech recognition headset works with all Apple Macintosh
sound I/O ports. With its Plug and Play functionality, the iParrott 10-3 can easily be added to any home or business environment.
