Hey Quadius! Good to see you... haven't seen your name in a bit it seems.
Anyway, I'm Cc:ing this to the Q-List because it's pretty helpful for AnyBody trying to use a Bluetooth mic with Dragon. I'm thinking your issue is primarily the jawbone and secondly (perhaps) the brand of Bluetooth-USB (assuming USB?) adapter. Nuance, the makers/distributors of Naturally Speaking, has a list of "Certified" bluetooth microphones/headsets. Naturally Speaking 10 actually comes with a Plantronics Calisto headset... the wireless/bluetooth phone I got. To find out if your headset is "Certified" go to: http://support.nuance.com/compatibility/ ...and use the dropdown menus to * Select Product: Dragon Naturally Speaking * Select Device: Wireless Microphones This will give you a comparison of the compatibility & quality of many different microphones. If yours is rated highly, try looking at the Soundcard compatibility by choosing Device: Soundcard. i hope this helps. Best of luck!
