This is exactly the problem I'm currently having. I'm looking for a wireless mic also, or one that can be used with the computer and cell phone. I will be watching the thread very carefully t see if there's something that could solve my dilemma. Thanks in advance

Right now I'm using an older model of the Nady encore II. Sometimes I use other microphones on that wireless system, but right now I'm using the simple lapel microphone that comes with the wireless transmitter receiver. I have the transmitter wired into my chair so that the battery operates it. If you train the system properly, it will become pretty accurate using this microphone, but it does hear a lot of ambient sound. I've also used The Boom Microphone V4 with this wireless system with great success in the past, but right now it doesn't work as well as it used to. Additionally I have used a Plantronics wireless system.

This works very well, except for one problem. My headset is plugged into my laptop, and so I need someone to put it on and take it off. This is particularly a problem when my family has guests. I would like to be able to make a quick trip into another room to say hello, without the need to have someone come into my room and unplug me from the computer, and then come back again to plug me back in. I have considered a freestanding “gooseneck” style microphone, but I am usually sitting about five or 6 feet away from the table supporting my laptop computer (so that I could easily tilt my power wheelchair for pressure relief. Does anyone have any good ideas for wireless microphones or some other solution? Thanks so much, Dave Krehbiel
