(More customer reviews)I have been using Dragon Naturally Speaking for the past several years. There are a few tricks I've been taught to have success with dictation.
The first, and biggest, is learning to talk the way the program wants to hear me. That means speaking at a measured pace, carefully enunciating my words. Think of a network newscaster and you'll have an idea of what Dragon is looking for.
The second trick to successful dictation is using a quality microphone. It's surprising the type of hardware you can work with and still have reasonable results. It's stunning to add a really good microphone and see the effect it has for increasing recognition accuracy. The VXI Tria V-DC is a microphone that helps accomplish more with Dragon or with Windows Speech Recognition, included with Windows 7.
I was told that accuracy in speech recognition is 70& the person speaking and 30% the hardware used. I have to agree with that. I saw the largest improvement by learning to speak correctly. After doing that, spending the money on the VXI microphone, coupled with the TalkPro 2-Way USB Pod added the final touch in getting what I've always hoped for from speech recognition on the PC.
Besides the microphone and single ear piece (so I don't feel like I'm flying a private plane when I'm dictating), VXI has also included three different styles of wearing the device. You can wrap it over your head like a typical headset, over both ears and around the back of your head, or hanging on a one ear. I've found the first two the most comfortable but it is nice to have options.
I should warn you that the VXI Tria V-DC is one model of several in the TRIA line and the only one I saw recommended for Dragon. I was told the difference is noise-canceling but don't have any way to verify that.
You should also be aware that in order to use the TRIA V-DC headset with a computer soundcard (or the USB pod) you'll need to order a cable that attaches to the proprietary plug on the headset and terminates in two 3.5MM plugs on the other end. I ordered the 1030V Sound Card Cord Connects to the computer's sound card ports. Compatible with TalkPro SP, Passport V-series and Tria V-series headsets. Features 3.5mm microphone and receive plugs and 9 ft. cord here for about $16.00. You have to have it to use the headset with your PC, even if you chose not to buy the USB pod.
