Only a few headsets are suitable for both, speech recognition and rough working environments.. We therefore recommend the following features:
You can find further information in our headset recommendations.
There are only a few headsets that are suitable for use with voice recognition software as well as for use in rough working environments. Therefore, we recommend wearing the headset under a waterproof hood when it is raining and using a windscreen (e.g., made of foam) when it is windy. It should be a headset used where microphone is equipped with a sufficient noise cancellation. If necessary, the headset drivers should be kept up to date.
ATTENTION: A deleted trial cannot be restored. Make sure that important data has been exported and stored elsewhere before deleting!
Smatrix offers various options for the export / further processing of your data:

The order of traits and hierarchy levels may be edited in the 'Edit trial' menu. Simply use the double-arrow button on the left side of the screen to drag a trait or a hierarchy level upwards or downwards to the desired position.
ATTENTION: If you change the order of the hierarchy levels, the structure of the trial also changes (e.g. from 10 plots with 5 plants each to 5 plants with 10 plots each).
Subsampling is activated by clicking and opening the "Subsamples" tab when editing the trial. Subsequently, a number of samples per test unit can be defined there for each individual trait (see also here Manual smatrix agroscience for Android ➝ 10.5 Subsamples).
When subsampling is activated, the progress between cells changes. Please refer to the examples in the manual. (Manual smatrix agroscience for Android ➝ 11.6.3 Progress).
The following voice commands are available additionally when using subsampling:
Yes, is “Position feedback off" there is a subsampling countdown which announces after every ten subsamples how many subsamples remain for the current trial unit (e.g. plot). It also announces the fifth-to-last and last samples and confirms when all subsamples have been performed for the current trial unit.
You can choose between “Collect together” and “collect individually”. The manual refers to examples (Manual smatrix agroscience for Android ➝ 12.6.3 Progress).
smatrix is available in many different languages:
With a subscription of smatrix you get access to all these languages.
Yes, with the voice command "Correction <new value>" the last entered value is replaced by the <new value> (e.g. "Correction 50" replaces the last entered value with 50).
If you use the voice command "Correction" without a new value, the cell where you last entered a value is selected. This value is not deleted but can be overwritten by entering a new value.
Another option is the "Undo" command. This will undo the last operation that modified values. This also works after commands that write multiple values at once, such as "five times unavailable". All five values entered would be reset to their previous value. With "Redo" you restore the same state as before the "Undo" command.
Yes, the option "Position on/off" allows a read out of the trial unit and the trait of the selected cell each time you move cells (by automatic progress or direct speech command).
In addition, you can make smatrix read out the trial unit and the trait of the currently selected cell at any time using the speech command "Where am I?".
