Recorder Plus recording hints - 122 Using
the Smart Microphone Smart Microphone is a feature introduced by Meeting
Recorder Plus designed to minimize or eliminate the microphone-speaker echo
feedback when recording. This situation occurs on Windows computers when the
microphone enhancements are not available or dont work. Windows provides echo
cancelation but this feature only works with Windows default speakers and
microphone devices. This means, both devices must be stereo and have the same
sample rate (48000Hz or 44100Hz). Obviously, a simple way to eliminate the echo is
using headphones instead of the computer speakers. However this may not be
always convenient unless Bluetooth headsets are utilized. Smart Microphone option can
be used to minimize or eliminate echo when recording.. Step 1 Enable
Smart Microphone Open SETTINGS, click Smart Microphone. Here you have
a few options 1. Mute

closed. The microphone can be turned ON for the entire recording session.
Select option #3 to restore / lower the speaker
volume when you click the Smart Microphone button. Click the Smart
Microphone when the remote speaks to turn OFF the microphone and eliminate
echo, click again to turn ON the microphone when you speak. The speaker
volume will automatically lower to minimize echo. The initial volume is
restored when the microphone is ON. This feature will be fully automated in the next
versions. Step 2 - Select
