One of the real problems with computer based voice systems, whether Skype type voip or general voice recognition/dictation, is that you’re pretty much tied to the microphone. Which is why the Voice Tracker array microphone is interesting. $249.00.

‘Unlike 1st generation array microphones which have a fixed “listen” direction, the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker Array Microphone automatically locates and electronically steers toward the talker. For speech recognition applications, it is no longer necessary to sit rigidly in front of the microphone. The user is free to lean backwards, sideways, or even move around.’
