What is USB and do I need it to use the Mask?

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is available on all new computers. Depending on the age of your computer, it may or may not have USB ports available. If not, Stenomask will plug into a standard computer sound card, although this will not provide as good recognition as with a USB adapter.

To see if your system supports USB, go to http://www.usb.org/ and download and run the free utility ‘USBready’ that will determine whether or not your system supports USB.
