Re: quality microphones for voice dictation
I have a Plantronics headset right now. And it's not bad, except I'm getting tix and pops on the USB port. Also it makes the sound rather nasal. I don't like listen to myself. When I play back the files. Surely they must have something better than that. I'm kinda curious about the Sennheiser microphones headsets. I have a Sennheiser PX 100 stereo headphone, and they just recently came out with a model that has a microphone for I phones. Now, I don't know if that is compatible with computers, but the fact that they make that sort of headset is a very reasonable price is encouraging. I know that Bluetooth is not good for voice recognition because of dropouts. There are lots of solutions on the market now just hoping to get some good recommendations. I will investigate the yeti. I wonder how good the handling noise is.

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. - Original Message - From: "Robert Logue" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 9:59 PM Subject: Re: quality microphones for voice dictation 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.

The adobe audition ap provides basic function, but goldwaves interface seems pretty accessible compared to others out there like diamond cut 8 which I couldn't even get to do, wnything. If there is not a solution to reading levels in realtime on a computer, what do you recommend for finding peak levels of audio? A sighted person can just scan the waveform for peaks, and the normalize feature is hit or miss depending on the software used, the level set by the user, and the range of frequencies in the recording. -- so, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thank you for your time.

Re: Amazing Slowdown
Yes chris, it's a good programme. If you select the correct slow down type, there are three, The granularity of the audio is minimal. I've used this software for about 2 years now. There are also competitors, check out seventh string software, or seventh string solutions can't remember which it is now, but there programme does the same tasks, but there is a pictorial display at the bottom of the screen giving a view of a musical stave with an approximation of the chords or notes being played. Obviously not an awful lot of use if speech output is the only interface, but if you have useful vission, or use screen mag,, it might be a contender. Roni software, in the form of amazing slowdowner does in my experience offer the best audio quality when the source is either slowed or speeded up. Another feature, is the ability to set regions, or pre-sets and assign the regions to keys on the number row. Pre-sets are set with control and a1 through 9, and retrieved by pressing the number key on its own. So you can jump between trickey parts of a piece of music that you are working on. These marked areas also hold the parameters that you have set in terms of the playback speed, pitch as well. There's a host of keyboard commands to control the program found under the options, preferences menu. You can perform the same audio functions with MIDI, I haven't done this being a guitarist not a keyboard player. Not even a guitar player really, more of a bass player. good luck.

I think it would be personally to professional for voice dictation but it would certainly fit the bill. - Original Message - From: "Robert Logue" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 6:43 PM Subject: Re: quality microphones for voice dictation Hi thanks for the recommendation Rishi. I'll give it a try if I can find one to play with. I've heard about the company but not sure if the company name is Blue or blue yetty? Perhaps yetty is the model name.

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.

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.

Re: quality microphones for voice dictation
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. - Original Message - From: "Robert Logue" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 9:59 PM Subject: Re: quality microphones for voice dictation 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 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.

Re: quality microphones for voice dictation
it is on the back of the microphone on the opposite side from where the USB cable plugs in! - Original Message - From: "Bob Seed" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 9:35 PM Subject: Re: quality microphones for voice dictation I think that there is a jack at the bottom of this microphone for a headset. - Original Message - From: "Gary Schindler" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 9:24 PM Subject: Re: quality microphones for voice dictation I don't think a headset microphone would come close to the Yeti. - Original Message - From: "Robert Logue" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 9:16 PM Subject: Re: quality microphones for voice dictation That does sound like a nice microphone.
