The demands on today’s healthcare professionals continue to rise — with increasing administrative workloads, staffing shortages, and tight schedules becoming the norm.

Whether you’re generating clinical notes, dictating letters or updating electronic health records using tools a speech recognition tool, the SpeechMike Ambient enables more efficient, hands-free documentation — wherever care happens.

Designed for seamless transitions between mobile and stationary use, the SpeechMike Ambient can be worn with a magnetic clip or neck strap for hands-free operation and offers up to 10 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge.

One Microphone for Every Clinical Scenario

Different workflows call for different audio setups, and the SpeechMike Ambient is designed to cover all use case scenarios, from single-user recording with noise cancellation to conversation scenarios like real-time interpretation and speaker separation. This flexibility ensures optimal performance across different environments and use cases.
The SpeechMike Ambient features four high-performance microphones with active noise cancellation and speaker separation for consistently clear, intelligible audio.

The SpeechMike Ambient is fully backwards compatible with existing SpeechMikes, ensuring seamless integration into current workflows while unlocking new opportunities.
