Alegna Selects Labtec LVA-7370 ClearVoice Collar Microphone for MobiLink MOS Mobile Office Suite.VANCOUVER, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1998-- LVA-7370 Provides Superior Speech Input Capabilities for Mobile Office's Speech Recognition Interface 6 Labtec Inc., The Computer Audio Experts(TM), and Alegna, Inc., designer and developer of integrated global mobile communication solutions, announce that Labtec's LVA LVA Latvia (ISO Country code) LVA Landesversicherungsanstalt (German: public insurance) LVA Literacy Volunteers of America LVA Layered Voice Analysis (Nemesysco) (R)-7370 ClearVoice(TM) Collar Microphone has been selected to provide the audio input capabilities for Alegna's MobiLink MOS (1) (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) See MOSFET. (2) (Mean Opinion Score) The quality of a digitized voice line. It is a subjective measurement that is derived entirely by people listening to the calls and scoring the results from (TM) (Mobile Office Suite). The LVA-7370 gives the self-powered, wireless office the clearest signal for speech recognition and voice interface. The integrated solution will be demonstrated at COMDEX The former, premier computer trade show in the U.S. Although it grew into an end user event, it was originally created for dealers and distributors (it was the COMputer Dealers EXposition). (Las Vegas Convention Center The Las Vegas Convention Center is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and is located in Clark County, Nevada.

"The LVA-7370 will provide MobiLink MOS(TM) users with a speech recognition-quality microphone delivered in a revolutionary form factor," said Michael Luchs, vice president of product development and product marketing at Labtec. "The product, which is worn around the collar rather than over the head, was designed in response to customer feedback that headsets are not always a preferred interface with the PC. The MobiLink MOS is a testament to Labtec's ability to provide superior PC audio input to a world-class mobile business solution." "The LVA-7370 enables the MobiLink MOS to deliver more functionality than ever before," said Nick Patel , vice president, Alegna, Inc. "It will allow us to offer the best solution for mobile office users, sales forces, emergency services emergency services Emergency care '…services …necessary to prevent death or serious impairment of health and, because of the danger to life or health, require the use of the most accessible hospital available and equipped to furnish those services' , government agencies and remote field sites and maintain our position as leaders in the industry." While many headset-microphones on the market today were developed as derivatives of traditional telephony headset designs, the LVA-7370 is the first-ever microphone developed from the ground up for speech recognition in the consumer market. It delivers maximum comfort, convenience and styling, and utilizes proprietary NCAT NCAT National Center for Appropriate Technology (Butte, MT) NCAT National Center for Asphalt Technology NCAT National Center for Academic Transformation NCAT National Center for Advanced Technologies 2(TM) (Noise Canceling and Amplification Technology, version 2) ClearVoice(TM) technology to cancel out background noise and provide a clear signal. It fits comfortably and discreetly around the user's neck or on his/her collar, properly positioning the microphone element in a near-field proximity to the user. This ensures the consistent input signal required for effective speech recognition. Since many speech recognition applications do not require audio feedback, or are used in conjunction with multimedia speakers, the design eliminates the bulky speaker elements used in conventional headset designs. This results in a lighter weight, more comfortable alternative.
