Mic Effect

TOSHIBA Mic Effect provides you with a hands-free environment for
holding mutual communication via the Internet Protocol or Local Area
Network. If you wish to communicate with someone on your computer, you
can use a messenger application. However, with such an application, you
would hear your own voice returning to you as echo during the
communication if you did not use a headset system or headphone.
TOSHIBA Mic Effect will reduce these echoes generated on your
computer. For more information on using the TOSHIBA Mic Effect, refer to
its help.
