Additional Detail for Buddy USB 5G Pod
High quality sound input is achieved through a combination of a high-quality
sound card such as Buddy USB 5G and a good microphone. Buddy USB 5G enables
your speech recognition applications to perform equally well on all compatible
computing platforms, since the sound card is included on it. Most PCs today have a
built in sound card (or chipset), that are often placed close to high electrical noise
circuitry like the power supply or other chips working at very high frequencies.
This is particularly a problem with most laptop computers. Buddy USB 5G has the
unique advantage of being largely immune to those noises as it is external to the
computer chassis.
Buddy USB 5G Pod Applications
Even though Buddy USB 5G is designed for high performance
demanded by speech recognition application, it can be used in any
application including VOIP that requires clear speech input.
In general you can use it as a replacement sound card for practically
any headset or for devices with headset like characteristics.
