the quality of the incoming sound. This is actually advantageous when using the microphone
with Dragon, since it is a product of external noise rejection. You may not want to have the
quality of your voice changed for non-Dragon applications, so in this scenario we recommend
changing to the blue or “Normal” mode.
Can I plug an ordinary headset microphone into the mic jack on the back of the TableMike?
Yes, this is exactly what this jack is intended for. When an analog microphone is plugged into
the jack, it is using all the advanced features of the TableMike, including the speech
equalization, auto-gain technology and advanced digital signal processing, and feeds the
resulting digital signal to your computer via the USB cable.
Can I use a foot pedal to control the microphone on my TableMike?
Yes. If you have either
the 6-in-1 or 9-in-1, your mic has a specific foot pedal jack on the back of the base. If you
purchase an inexpensive analog foot pedal, this pedal will follow the function set by the slider
switch on the bottom of the TableMike base. As a reminder, these are the options:
1.
Always on: the mic is always on and the foot pedal does not change anything
2.
Press to lock: in this mode, each time you depress the foot pedal you will sequentially
turn the microphone on and off, i.e. one push on and another push off.
3.
Press to talk: In this mode, the microphone will be live only while the pedal is depressed
Remember, that using an analog foot pedal on your 6-in-1 or 9-in-1 is only controlling the
microphone. It is not controlling Dragon or other applications. You will need to have dragon
turned on (by means of the software/operating system) for the microphone to transmit sound
to your software.

If you have a 3-in-1, you do not have a pedal jack. In this case, as well as the case in which you
desire to control your software microphone function with a foot pedal, we recommend that
you purcha
se a USB foot pedal and SpeechWare’s “Octopus USB Controller”. Foot pedals come
in a variety of configuration (single, double and triple pedals). OUC allows you to program each
foot pedal (as well as any other connected USB Human Interface Device (HID) to control your
software and a variety of other computer functions. For more information please visit these
