Audio Capture

The positioning of the microphone during audio capture has significant influence on audio quality. A microphone positioned very close to the mouth, such as a headset microphone, picks up speech very clearly but also any other noises in the aural cavity, such as lip smacking. A microphone placed a couple of feet away from the speaker picks up speech that has arrived at the microphone from multiple reflected paths, in addition to the direct path. The quality of these two signals is substantially different, leading to varying speech-to-text success rates.
