This day just keeps getting better and better! I got my new USB headset from Plantronics, and it is incredible! I also found a setting in my voice recognition program that has a slider where you can go from fast response (the program gives you words on the screen quickly) to a setting where it will take the most amount of time to process your speech, but it will give you the most accurate results. I turned a slider all the way to highest accuracy, and the words appear on the screen with the same speed as before. Having an powerful system pays off yet again!
The recognition quality is incredible! I haven’t had a single error in the transcription yet. This headset is USB, so there is absolutely no interference in the signal. It’s perfectly digital from the start. I think I have reached audio nirvana. This is a perfect excuse to watch a movie with my new headphones.
I will write epic poems chronicling the glory of Plantronics (the microphone gods), and Nuance (the company that makes Dragon NaturallySpeaking). Woot!
Of course you know I’m going to be posting every 15 minutes now.
