Generally, you want to get a high-quality microphone, and possibly what is called a USB sound card or USB pod. Wireless microphones for voice recognition My question about that is this: Is that going to depend on the speed of the computer or the quality of the speech software? I speak at least 225 words per minute and I need a speech engine that can keep up with me. Is there anything that is an absolute no-no? The one thing that has been voiced by both Dragon and IBM reps to me is not to go with Gateway.
What should the processor speed be on a laptop to work best with voice recognition and what other specs, videocard, soundcard, ram, etc are suggested. I use what is known as a stenomask and I whisper which software works better for that method of speaking? How do you get over talking to yourself? Do you work from home, have a single walled office? Does nobody hear you talking to yourself?ĭo you work for or are you in any way associated with Dragon Naturally Speaking as a software promoter or any type of financial beneficiary? I also use Mozilla's Firefox / Thunderbird for personal email and web browsing and it doesn't look like Dragon NaturallySpeaking supports it. Dragon NaturallySpeaking's audio setup wizard is failing me! What kind of results are normal? I'm hearing static when I record audio with my microphone. What are the "physical modifications" done to the Sennheiser microphone? You recommend both the VXI and Andrea ISB pods. Is there a good microphone you recommend? What microphone setup do you need for quality voice recognition with Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Scroll through the document, or click to jump directly to a section:
I often get questions from readers asking about recommendations on hardware or similar issues.
I've been using voice recognition software for a long time (see the full review of Dragon NaturallySpeaking and IBM ViaVoice).
