The ANC 700 headset is manufactured by Andrea Electronics and uses technology that enables a person to produce more reliable and accurate communications when talking into the microphone, even in the most noisiest of offices.

The main features of this particular monaural headset compared to many others on the market today are as follows:

1. It is ergonomically designed so it has enhanced acoustic performance. The housing design not only optimizes this performance but also offers the person wearing them CD quality digital sound.

2. They are extremely durable and very comfortable for the user to wear, again, because of the ergonomic design of the headset.

3. It comes with a very easy to position microphone on a boom, which is flexible. So it improves the clarity of a person's voice when using it, especially if they are using speech enabled software programs on their PC.

4. This headset comes with a quick disconnect feature which is provided through the use of an on/off switch for the microphone.

5. It comes with a set of adapters which makes it easy to connect, and so compatible with any IBM, ThinkPad or Sound Blaster sound cards.

6. This particular monaural headset is ideally suited for use in small offices, home offices or for those carrying out distance learning.

7. The headset incorporates Andrea's patented "Active Noise Cancellation" as well as dual microphone technology. It works by canceling out all low frequency noises whilst the wearer will then only hear either mid or high frequency noises instead. In to this group of frequencies come conversation and sirens (such as warnings). Originally, such headsets were only being used by pilots, especially those who fly helicopters or other propeller driven airplanes and are considered to be indispensable. Today, a good quality set such as the Andrea ANC 700 which we have been looking at above for use in medical transcription can cost as little as $50.00.

Each ANC 700 headset consists of a headband, as well as speakers, a boom mounted microphone, electronic's module that comes with ANC electronics, a quick disconnect, and plug converter that allows you to utilize both 2 and 3 wire microphone connections.

Not only is this particular headset pleasing to look at, but it still produces good quality as well as accurate audio input no matter what type of environment it is being used in. It can be used quite comfortably in both quiet and noisy environments without the audio input or output being badly affected. If you use this headset when using any type of speech recognition software, you will find that no matter how noisy it is around you, the system is still very accurate will recognizing what is being said.

So if you are someone who will be spending a lot of time sitting in front of a computer -- either dictating reports, letters or other documents -- and do not have the advantage of having a secretary to carry out your typing for you, then why not consider purchasing a good quality speech recognition software program and a ANC 700 headset.
