Sennheiser announced an intelligent speaker Certified for Microsoft Teams, the TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker.

Mridul Jain, Director- Sales BizCom, at Sennheiser India, and Albert Kooiman, Senior Director of Microsoft Teams Devices Partner Engineering and Certification graced the occasion.

Sennheiser’s TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker provides a solution for smart, focused, and inclusive meetings for groups of up to ten people, whether they join remotely or in person. To achieve excellent sound quality, it includes an omnidirectional speaker with a 3.5m radius and seven integrated beamforming microphones. Microsoft Teams provides an automatic meeting transcript in real-time through this Intelligent speaker, identifying the individual people speaking by name if they have enrolled their voices. This ensures that remote and hard-of-hearing attendees are included in meetings.

Intelligent solutions, such as the integrated Cortana voice recognition software and automatic meeting notes, enable remote and hard-of-hearing participants to participate in inclusive meetings. The TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker provides an easy and flexible installation experience with multiple mounting options, long cables, and a variety of country-specific power plug adapters.

For many businesses and educational institutions, video conferencing tools like Microsoft Teams have become the communication backbone. The Sennheiser TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker not only delivers excellent meeting room audio, but also unlocks the most advanced speech technology available. The best speech transcripts are only available from Intelligent Speakers.

Microsoft Teams Rooms combines Microsoft Teams’ virtual workspace with physical meeting rooms with AV equipment from Microsoft-certified hardware partners.
