Hello everyone,
I am thinking of trying a Shure SM58 with a minijack adapter for 
recording myself and my screen reader at the same time. However, I 
was wondering, is there a preamp that will connect to the 
microphone jack on my computer?  I'm concerned about using a USB 
one, because if the latency is too noticeable, it will be 
incredibly distracting.  Thank you in advance.

Depending on whether or not your sound card had a mic boost, the volume 
might be too low for a shure sm58. You can test that out. You would 
definitely need phantom power for a condenser mic, unless you got a 
condenser mic that could run on battery as well asphantom power.

Hello Tim,

Wouldn't the volume be too low when recording with a Shure SM58 and 
mini jack converter?  Also, if I want to use a standard condenser 
microphone, I'd need a way of providing phantom power.
