Use the motion sensor
The SpeechMike features an integrated motion sensor that
detects when the device is put on the table and is being
picked up again. The motion sensor can mute and unmute
the microphone automatically or custom functions can be
programmed, e.g., to pause and to continue recording. Use
the Device Control Center software to enable automatic
muting of the microphone (Device > Advanced settings >
Microphone motion control) or to program custom func-
tions (Application control tab).
