Comments: For the user preferring to hold rather than wear a microphone, this is an excellent product and in our opinion is the most accurate hand-held microphone on the market. It is our most higly recommended hand-held microphone and our personal favorite in medical dictation. If we have any complaint about this product it is the need to use and understand a separate software package (SpeechControl Application) in order to integrate the buttons with Dragon. If you can afford it, we strongly recommend purchasing Octopus USB controller and using this to program the buttons on your SpeechMike Premium ... it will greatly simplify the process! Unique to this product is the application control software for use with a Mac computer and the "suspended" microphone element that reduces its susceptibility to external noise.
