Connecting and positioning a microphone

With appropriate software, you can use a microphone to give spoken commands to your Macintosh and to record your voice or other sounds.

You need the Apple PlainTalk Microphone (or a compatible microphone) to use speech-recognition technology with the Macintosh. Some models of the Macintosh come with the microphone. You can obtain the microphone from an Apple-authorized dealer. (You can’t use the round microphone supplied with some other Macintosh models.)

The Apple AudioVision 14 Display has the Apple PlainTalk Microphone built in.
