Oh, &, yes. I did notice your subject line here. However, I'd totally agree
with Ricardo here. Wireless mics are worthless when it comes to dictation.
There is to much noise in them, to much background noise which will cause
most dictation to be lost & have to be done over & over again. Unless you're
willing to spend 1000 1500 dollars on a good set of wireless mics, don't
waist your time with them.

Subject: Re: good wireless mic for dictation?
I'm assuming that since you asked this question on this list, we're
talking about a Mac user? I'd suggest an Audio Technica ATR2100 Mic. This
mic is a very good quality mic for not alot of buck. In fact, this is the
mic which has made waves in the podcast community over the last year or
so. In fact, I've taken to using it as a mic in my home studio for
recording my news & traffic reports as well as in the field for conducting
interviews with, which are aired on 4 radio stations. For dictation,
you're really interested in a dynamic mic, this sort of mic is one which
you'll need to talk directly in to commonly used in the broadcast
industry, this sort of mic cuts out background noise, around you noise.
verses what a normal USB mic is which is a condenser mic. Condensers are
mostly used in larger invernments for grabbing a greater amount of
ambiance & noise during a broadcast. &, they're also less expensive to
manufacturer. Not going to go more overboard in technical specs of mics
than that. If you're more interested, you're more than welcome to write me
off list. Also, if you're interested in hearing this mic in action. You
may also write me as well. Yes, the neat thing about the 2100 is that it
is both a USB & an XLR connection mic & both can be in use at the same
time. Also, the mic comes with a headphone jack on it's bottom/back for
monitoring your output audio if not being run through a mixer. I'd bring
this mic to any mic fight & put it up against any of the big boys from
Heil, Sure or Electro-Voice. No, I don't sell these mics or work for Audio
Technica in any way. I just like this mic at its price point. Which is now
down to around 40 dollars on Amazon. Put a good pop filter on it as you
should with any dynamic mic & you're off & running.

Subject: OT: good wireless mic for dictation?
Hi all,
I am working with someone who uses Dragon on a daily basis, but has only a
bluetooth headset meant for a phone. Needless to say, Dragon does not do
well with this low-quality mic, so I'm hoping to suggest a better one.
Ideally, it would be either bluetooth or RF, include one or two speakers,
and have voice prompts. I am leaning toward the Blue Parrot, since it has
A2DP, voice prompts, a single button, and good range, plus is relatively
inexpensive and has a score of 4 from Nuance. However, I am quite happy to
take other recommendations for good microphones that do noise-canceling,
are wireless headsets, and, if possible, have voice prompts. This is a bit
off-topic, I realize, but I know some of you do a lot of dictation so I
figured here was a good place to ask this. Also, I am hoping to one day
convert this person to the Mac, so there's that. :) Thanks for any advice.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
