CALYK does not depend on proprietary hardware. In general, if Windows recognises a device as an audio input, you can select it to dictate in CALYK. Recognition quality will depend on the signal each microphone delivers.
Use a built-in microphone, a USB headset, a wireless system or a professional dictation microphone. Pick whichever fits your reading room best.
These are not requirements. They are starting points based on how you prefer to work.
Wireless · USB-C
Ideal if you want freedom of movement and a small microphone close to your voice. The receiver connects to the computer and works as an audio input.
SMP3700 · USB
For those who prefer the classic handheld dictation format, with a unidirectional capsule and a design oriented to speech recognition.
Headset · USB
A practical alternative for shared workstations: the boom microphone stays close to your mouth and keeps both hands free while you report.
You do not need to buy one of these microphones to use CALYK. These are hardware recommendations. Some links may be Amazon affiliate links; CALYK may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. Programmable buttons or keys on specialised microphones may require extra configuration and do not imply automatic compatibility with specific CALYK features.
