The problem is usually not the AI
AI Can Only Transcribe What the Microphone Clearly Hears
A laptop microphone positioned at one end of a conference table may hear the closest participant clearly while distant speakers sound quiet, hollow, or incomplete. The Martel system places eight microphones throughout the room so the audio source is closer to everyone speaking.
The typical setup
One Laptop Microphone Trying to Hear the Entire Room
The computer must remain close to the speakers.
People seated farther away may sound quieter.
Long tables and large rooms create uneven pickup.
There is usually no dedicated live-monitoring output.
The Martel solution
Eight Pickup Points Positioned Near the Conversation
Position microphones around the table or room.
Use eight included 25-foot extension cables.
Send the combined room audio through one USB connection.
Listen to the incoming audio with live headphone monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
AI, ASR, Recording, and Compatibility Questions
Does the system work with Otter.ai?
Otter supports compatible external microphones. Select the Martel USB audio source inside the computer or Otter workflow and confirm that microphone permission has been granted.
Can it be used with Stenograph MAXScribe and Phoenix ASR?
The Martel system can provide multi-microphone room audio for compatible MAXScribe recording, digital-reporting, and Phoenix transcription workflows. The precise configuration can depend on the selected audio input, routing method, MAXScribe settings, and computer configuration.
Does it work with Zoom Workplace AI?
The system can provide meeting microphone audio to a compatible Zoom computer or room setup. Zoom’s AI, captioning, recording, and summary features depend on the customer’s plan, host settings, permissions, language, and availability.
Is Otter.ai, Zoom, MAXScribe, or Phoenix ASR included?
No third-party software subscription or license is included unless specifically listed on the Martel order. This product includes the professional microphone, interface, cabling, monitoring, output, and carrying equipment.
Can I record and monitor the audio simultaneously?
The hardware sends USB audio to the connected computer while providing live headphone monitoring. Computer recording depends on the operating system, application permissions, audio settings, and recording software.
How many microphones are included?
Eight omnidirectional microphones and eight 25-foot extension cables are included. The daisy-chain system can be expanded up to 24 microphones for larger applications.
Will this guarantee a perfect AI or Phoenix transcript?
No microphone can guarantee perfect recognition. Results depend on placement, speaker volume, overlapping speech, background noise, room acoustics, accents, computer settings, and the transcription engine. The Martel system is designed to provide a stronger and more evenly distributed room-audio source.
