Microphone for Speech Control - non-headset options?

(Hopefully in the right forum...)
I have (err, had. Just upgraded to Lion and haven't tested) Dragan Dictate installed and would like to use Speech to control functions on my Mac. Only, I don't want to always be plugged into a headset, which I use for general transcription.
Are there any suggestions for a free standing microphone that will work without being shouted at (and isn't one of those big mikes you see radio presenters talking into).
If you have a setup like this - what works best for you?

the unfortunate dilemma is there are no "good headsets" relly very adequate for use with dragon
Most of the dictation pros have a high quality Sony mic or otherwise that hooks thru USB
consider a nice USB headset with mic setup like this:

If you dont mind spending a bit more for professional audio input, get the ZOOM h2n,   professional audio at a low consumer price.
ultimately DRAGON needs very CRISP audio, and almost no headset with cheap mic provides same

  • Will the microphone (for siri) when non-mic EarPods are inserted?

    I have a spare pair of EarPods, and could maybe use it with my iPad mini Retina. However, my main concern is that the built in mic will be disabled when the non-mic EarPods are inserted. Does the built in mic stop itself when the EarPods are inserted or can I still use it?

    Dear Friend,
    Yes, the built-in mic will be disabled when the non-mic EarPods are inserted. The only way to use the built -in mic is removing the EarPods.
    Hope it helps

    Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open  please fix these bugs

    if they are unable to update all languages in a normal time gap (it is now 6 months ago they released firmware 4.22 for the first product code (actually mine and maybe a few others)), they should not offer those many versions. the huge bug with out of memory in nokia navigator with firmware 3.58 is not fixed yet for those people. really absolutely not acceptable.
    besides that, currently my phone is in a nokia service center, microphone doesnt work anymore (the one who i call just hears a very loud noise). my brother got the same phone, his one is in nokia service center since 2 weeks now, because it doesnt charge anymore as there seems to be a connection broken inside the phone).
    well that will be fun if the phone returns (approximately 4 weeks), as I guess the phones will have new IMEIs as they will send 2 new phones and not fix the problem (would cost them more). but as i got a western europe with nordics-map licence locked to the imei, the next problem will be there after I get a nokia 6110navi with another IMEI back. i get really upset with this really slow support.

  • Bluetooth Headset for Speech recognition?

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if I can use a bluetooth headset with a good mic to be used with the speech recognition feature in Leopard? Has anyone tried this?

    Bump...
    I'd also love to know if there's a Bluetooth headset that will work with the built-in speech recognition in Leopard. Failing that, a USB microphone that's known to work.
    (Incidentally, the built-in mike on my Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro works fine with Skype on the Mac, but is useless for speech recognition).

  • How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.

    How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.

    Depending on how you created your account, "None" may or may not be an option. I believe it has something to do with whether the account was made through an App Store request or the regular iTunes Store. For example, my account allows no card but my father's doesn't allow there to be no card.
    To change the card, go to your account settings and change the information to your new card, and hit save.

  • Can I buy a headset with microphone for my 13" MACBOOK PRO?

    There is only one hole to plug an earphone, and when i record in my software, and i replay it. it sounds strange. so i'm trying to change a microphone.
    is the headset with microphone for A1278 on sale? could somebody give me an sale net address?

    Thank you. I know what you mean. Apple can support earpiece and microphone in one plug.
    When I ask about this question, my MBP had trouble in Windows XP.
    I'm Chinese, and there is a software named DynEd. I was using it to record my voice,that voice changed when I replay. It just like an iPhone app:Talking Prez.
    And then I reinstall my windows system. Now I'm using Windows 7, and the question resolved.
    Maybe 4GB memory is too big for WinXP x32.
    What do you think?

    Hello.
    It appears Visual Studio uses a different version of the .NET framework:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cesardelatorre/archive/2014/11/18/what-is-net-core-5-and-asp-net-5-within-net-2015-preview.aspx
    It might be related but I couldn't confirm the supported .NET versions for the Speech Control, or road map / plans for support in VS 2015. Have moved to this thread in case a subject matter expert might chime in.
    Best regards,

  • Macbook pro w/ Mavericks - right command and right option functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop

    Hello,
    All of a sudden my right command and right option keys are functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop respectively. I haven't changed anything and can't seem to find any shortcut option in system preferences to change it. Control + up still works for mission control as default, and F11 is still show desktop. Left command and left option are working as normal.
    Any suggestions? I have a feeling theres some silly little thing I've missed...
    Thanks.

    Hello benja_d
    That is an interesting issue with the keyboard. To help isolate the issue, open up the Keyboard view to see if there are any keys being held down while you are typing to see if that is the issue. You will also will want to try this in another user on your computer to see if it something that is User specific or system wide. Let me know if you have figured out this part and I can help you further.
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • I need to know the application ID for Speech Feedback.

    I have a problem, the speech feedback icon is in my window after I used it for a while. I went to system preferances and turned speech feedback off. The icon did not disappear. I have tried right clicking for options but nothing happened. I also looked up a converstion in which the questioner was using later software than mine. He had updated his software and the icon was deleted on his desktop. At the end of the conversation between the apple user and the apple attendant the attendant said alternately he could go to the terminal application and type "kill #" the hashtag stands for the item ID. He reffered to an application which I have never seen nore heard of called Process ID. Of course, the user had been using older software than I at the time. I would like to know what the ID for Speech Feedback is so I can delete the icon using terminal. The other recomendations  the attendant reffered to did not work, so again, what is the system ID for the Speech Feedback icon/application?

  • What is setting required for Price Contol do the optional entery in master.

    Hi SAP EXPERT,
    What is setting required for Price Contol do the optional entery in Material master ?
    Regards
    Mahendra
    Edited by: MAHENDRA  NAVALE on Aug 27, 2011 2:23 PM

    HI
    In general in the material master record you can, hide display or optional for a field, but there are certain feilds should be mandatory for material creation,like base unit of measure,material description,and price contro,l valuation price,valuation class,without this you cannot create a purchase order.
    If you dont want to the price control means go for mateial type  non valuated material NLAG. because the price control is mainly linked with the material  valuation. based on the the price control  the price difference will post either sock account or price difference account.
    Goto>MM>LOGISTICS GENERAL>MATERIAL MASTER>FEILD SELECTION >ASSIGN FEILD SELECTION TO FEILD SELECTIN GROUPS(OMSR) >CHECK YOUR FEILD REFERENCE FOR PRICE CONTROL (MBEW-VPRSV) FEILD REFERNCE GROUP IS 32* > AND GOTO MAINTAIN FEILD REFERENCE FOR DATA SCREENS (OMS9) >ENTER  YOUR FEILD SELECTIN GROUP 32 (PRICE CONTROL )AND  CHOOSE MM01 MAKE IT FROM REQUIRED  TO OPTIONAL.
