The Philips SpeechMike Pro Manual is a solid, professional document. It successfully demystifies a complex piece of hardware. While it may lack a "quick start" card for the impatient, it rewards those who take the time to read it with a mastery of the device. If you want to get the ROI on your SpeechMike purchase, reading the "Software Configuration" chapter is not optional—it is mandatory.
