Smart Microphone
From push-to-talk to a small object on your desk.
Hold to speak, then release to send your voice to a computer. A desktop microphone designed around that small gesture, explored in cylindrical and rocking forms.
About the project
The idea is a simple desk gesture: hold a button to speak, then release it to hand the recording to a computer. This hardware exploration develops the recording path alongside a rounded enclosure, arranging the board, acoustic channel, button, and ports in a small space.
What you can do
- Explore the path from button-controlled recording to Wi-Fi upload and desktop transcription.
- Examine internal layouts and printable structures for cylindrical and rocking enclosures.
- Plan USB power, an acoustic channel, and a base weight around the ports and assembly.
Where it stands
The v0.5 design includes software, wiring instructions, and printable files. The physical prototype has not yet been built; recording quality and the feel of the rocking form still need to be tried in practice.
