The AI speaker delivers a more intelligent and user-friendly meeting experience for customers, by providing AI voice tasks for meeting control and management. 

Meeting room solution experts, Yealink, have once again come to market with a revolutionary product, the MSpeech speakerphone for medium-sized rooms. 

As businesses start to return to the office, the subject of how to equip and use the physical spaces they own has become another talking point. Despite a monumental uplift in employees working from home, the necessity for face to face interactions will ensure the necessity for meeting room solutions.  

Yealink knows that one of the undervalued aspects of such solutions is the speaker and microphone at the heart of the room. Providing the vital sound that allows the meeting to progress, the attention can often be drawn to high definition cameras and interactive displays that, ultimately, supplement the interaction. 

The leading global unified communications solution provider is working together with Microsoft to provide businesses with the best meeting room solutions on the market. One such product is the MSpeech for Microsoft Teams, an AI-enhanced speakerphone with key features designed for meeting rooms in the hybrid world. 

With voice recognition capabilities, MSpeech enables voice-to-text transcription from multiple participants across a range of distances. Using that voice recognition is Cortana voice assistance which allows participants to use their voice to carry out meeting controls like ending the meeting, starting the next meeting, amongst many voice tasks. 

To round off the features, with a built-in 10 MEMS microphone array and 4-watt speakers, the MSpeech delivers a full-duplex HD audio experience, as well as long-distance accurate voice recognition covering from small to medium-sized meeting spaces. 

Harnessing AI 

MSpeech is a USB speakerphone that utilises artificial intelligence to offer features including voice recognition, transcription and translation. The speakerphone can also enhance the experience participants have within Microsoft Teams Rooms through AI features and ensures HD audio within medium-sized rooms thanks to the built-in microphone arrays and speakers. 

That microphone array enables the MSpeech speakerphone to be able to recognise who is talking. With this feature, businesses can record snippets of a conversation based on who is speaking and accurately capture the dialogue and identity of up to 10 participants in a conference room.
With this feature set, businesses will be concerned about security, therefore Yealink has worked with Microsoft to ensure that the Voice data for each person recorded is securely stored in the private Microsoft Cloud which can be deactivated or deleted at any point.  

Yealink have designed the MSpeech speakerphone specifically with the hybrid worker in mind, allowing them to efficiently collaborate over Teams. The voice transcription catches the content throughout the meeting so participants can look back on ideas and discussions as well as share the outcomes from the meeting with other colleagues.  

The introduction of Cortana assistance has also enabled a touchless meeting room experience. With voice commands participants can commence meetings, add participants or end meetings, speeding up each meeting process in a more intelligent and touchless way.  

MVC640 Bundle 

The MSpeech speakerphone, with its high-quality voice features, is a key component of the MVC640 Bundle from Yealink, designed to enable Microsoft Teams meetings in medium-sized rooms.

Along with the MCore mini-PC, UVC84 4K camera and touch panel that ties the solution together, participants in the meeting rooms can enjoy One-Click to share content wirelessly, or through the USB C or HDMI port, and Remote Management via Yealink’s Device Management platform and cloud service.  

The MVC640 is a turnkey solution for customers and Yealink is the first device solution provider to produce a complete intelligent Microsoft Teams Rooms bundle solution such as the MVC320, MVC640 with the components MSpeech AI speaker. This kind of pain-free solution helps customers buy and use a dedicated AI MTR solution directly if they need it. 

“As our customers evolve their offices to prepare for the new reality of hybrid work, they are increasingly deploying Microsoft Teams Rooms to power these hybrid experiences,” said Ilya Bukshteyn, General Manager for Microsoft Teams Devices. “The combination of Intelligent Speakers, such as the Yealink MSpeech, and Microsoft Teams Rooms, brings the most advanced transcription, voice recognition, and other AI-powered experiences to Teams meetings for our customers.”
