people use headset microphones from Plantronics and Logitech for dictation. if you are not concerned with the tonal quality per say, go with a headset. in some cases you will pay more for the headset microphone combination. I agree with the idea of plugging in a headphone on the back of the yeti with a long enough cord so you can move around.

You could be right about that Gary. It doesn't seem like there are very many headset microphones recommended for voice recognition.



I'm doing lots of research, but want to narrow the possibilities down before I go to a store. Also, most of the stores carry microphones for musicians and sound reinforcement. Not for voice recognition.

I don't think a headset microphone would come close to the Yeti.

That does sound like a nice microphone. I imagine that with the multi-pattern capsules. You can make it very directional, which would be good for a desktop dictation microphone. But, I was looking for a headset microphone that is high-quality and good for dictation. I Need something that is comfortable, and that I don't have to think about. I tend to move around a lot. But, I will consider the blue yetty as an alternative. It doesn't hurt to have more than one microphone.

Blue yetty is a good one if you're going for quality. It's a USB mic that
acts like a soundcard. You can plug a headphone into it as well. And my
experance with it is verry well good... I recommend it to anyone wana do dictation with it. It's clean and verry clare... not to mension the distance it can pick up from. But be sure to get the latest moddle... thanks... hope
this helps

Subject: quality microphones for voice dictation

I need to find a good headset microphone for voice dictation and computer
control. I'm planning to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking and I have two
computers Windows XP and Windows 7. The wireless headset I have right now is not very good. I'm quite disappointed because I get tix pops and crackles in
the audio stream so I need something better if I want to use Dragon or
Windows speech recognition. I hope I can find something wireless if not then
I want to get a set that is quality and has a good long cable or can be
extended easily I wish I knew what's really good for voice recognition and
that would also make my voice sound good.

It's important that I feel comfortable wearing this microphone. I don't want to have to worry about bumping it or bumping into it and causing artifacts that confuse speech recognition or make poor audio recordings of my voice. It would be a bonus if it also made my voice sound good. The headset I'm using now. Makes me sound kind of nasal as if I have a head cold and is not
as good as the microphones I use in my Olympus recorder.
