I have purchased approximately 5 "high-end" voice-to-text microphones over the past 6 years for medical dictation utilizing Dragon Naturally Speaking. Although they worked well for accurate speech recognition with Dragon, they didn't seem to last as long as I thought they should, given their high price-tag. So, when my Samson Airline 77 finally bit the dust after 5 years, I thought I would give a "low-end" microphone a try. Enter the Sennheiser SC-30,
I will make a long story short:
1. Inexpensive......very. 2. Works with Dragon DNS Professional v. 15 Individual 3. Not as accurate as my Samson, but about 1/10th the price. 4. Lightweight and comfortable.
So.....if you don't want to drop $300 on a speech recognition microphone, give the SC-30 a whirl. Your results may be more accurate than mine. If not, Amazon has a great return policy.
