Regarding Windows 7 speech recognition software: I tried this some time ago and had no luck whatsoever.
Regarding running Dragon NaturallySpeaking under Windows 7: I have no idea about that one. I am running XP Pro. Re: microphones: I recently updated a "shotgun" microphone. I can sit up to 6 away from it and Dragon NaturallySpeaking works just fine. The microphone I am using is an ATR6550 shotgun microphone from Audio-Technica. The microphone sells for about 70 dollars or so (e.g. from Amazon.com) and you need to buy a microphone stand. I have found that Dragon works better with this microphone rather than my own headset. The thing I like most is that I'm no longer connected by a cable to my computer. I can cruise into the other room to say hello to someone and pull back up to my computer whenever I like. If you want any more information, let me know Dave Krehbiel From: Monty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 3:57 PM To: greg; quadriplegic Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Windows 7 Speech Rec no speech recognition program will work properly unless it's a headset or microphone is only a few inches away. Which version of Dragon will not work with Windows 7? Because I was running version 10.1 preferred without any difficulties and what happened when you tried to use the current version of Dragon you have?

I can't really get it to do much. I am only using the built-in mic on my laptop. I'll try an old standing mic, but so far I can't get it to do much. My old Dragon can't work on Windows 7. Greg
