Professional dictation starts with a cleaner audio signal

The SpeechMike Premium uses a free-floating microphone capsule that is decoupled from the housing. That design helps reduce touch, click, air and structure-borne noise before the audio reaches the speech recognition application.

Precision Microphone

A decoupled microphone suspension helps isolate the recording element from handling noise and unwanted vibration.

Optimized Grille and Pop Filter

A redesigned metal grille and integrated fleece layers help reduce pop and hiss distortion during close-range dictation.

Clear Playback

The built-in speaker supports clear playback when users need to review recorded audio without changing devices.

Choose the control style

LFH3500 push buttons or LFH3510 slide switch

Both models share the core SpeechMike Premium audio, navigation and workflow features. The primary difference is how the user controls recording and playback.

LFH3500

Push-Button Operation

Direct button access for familiar digital controls

The LFH3500 gives users dedicated push buttons for recording and playback functions. It suits clinicians who prefer distinct tactile controls and direct access to each command.

  • Dedicated record and playback buttons
  • Trackball navigation and mouse functions
  • Configurable workflow and command keys
  • Same precision microphone platform as the LFH3510
LFH3510

Slide-Switch Operation

Record, stop, play and fast rewind from one tactile control

The LFH3510 uses a wear-free slide switch with tactile feedback. It suits experienced dictation users who prefer controlling the core workflow with a single thumb movement.

  • Contactless slide-switch detection
  • Record, stop, play and fast-rewind positions
  • Trackball navigation and mouse functions
  • Configurable workflow and command keys

Use familiar SpeechMike controls with Microsoft Dragon Copilot

Microsoft lists Philips SpeechMike among the microphones tested and recommended for Dragon Copilot dictation. The LFH3500 and LFH3510 give clinicians a directional microphone, integrated navigation and configurable buttons for focused documentation workflows.
