We know that this economy makes it hard to budget entirely new gear, so why not look to what you already have? Many operations don’t know how much additional value is already built into the tools they own.
Let’s break down four features of the Talkman A700x series (A700x, A720x, A730x) that can have an immediate positive impact on your operations.
1. Pick Up and Go (PnG): Faster Starts, Easier Scaling
One of the most impactful advancements in the A700x series is the next-generation speech recognition engine. With PnG enabled, new and returning users can log in and work immediately with no voice template training required.
For operations that rely on seasonal labor, high turnover, or cross-trained associates, this is a game-changer. Warehouses across hundreds of live environments are already using PnG successfully, reducing onboarding time while maintaining accuracy and performance. For added flexibility, traditional voice template training remains available when specific operator needs require it.
2. Retraining Words for a Smoother Operator Experience
The A700x series delivers notable improvements in text-to-speech audio quality, which translates directly into end-user satisfaction. However, you might still find a specific word or phrase that an associate is struggling with getting their Talkman to recognize. To fix this, just use the option to retrain words in the menu. Your Talkman will learn to better understand what you want to say, leading to fewer errors and frustrating wasted time repeating a word or phrase.
Tip: Always retrain your device in the environment it’s used, not in a different environment like the break room or an office!
3. Time for a Break?
When it’s time for a pause, you can easily put the device to sleep mode by flipping up the microphone. If this isn’t working for you, you may need to enable parameter setting in your voice system–your voice provider can also help you find this.
4. Expanded Integration Options with NFC
The A700x series supports NFC pairing for Honeywell 8675i ring scanners and other devices, simplifying device association and reducing setup time. With the right configuration parameters in place, pairing becomes faster and more intuitive, especially valuable in shared-device environments. Tap, tap, and go!
The Bottom Line
The Talkman A700x series is a device designed to reduce training time, improve user satisfaction, enhance reliability, and lower long-term operational costs. But many of its most powerful features depend on proper configuration and parameter tuning.
