Product Overview

In transcribing the minutes of a meeting from the recording or in a human-machine interface by voice command, ambient voice or noise may make it difficult to hear the desired voice clearly. For this reason, needs for technology that emphasizes only audio in a specific direction is increasing. There is an alternative solution to use a directional microphone, but the cost and size are major issues.

TMC has developed and commercialized a software IP that realizes high-quality sound by beam forming and reducing the ambient noise by noise suppressor for the sound picked up by two inexpensive omnidirectional microphones.

Model Number

• TM1839
