This is a very high quality hand-held microphone at an extremely
affordable price. It works beautifully with speech recognition
software and has been compared by many to the considerably more
expensive Sennheiser MD431II. We simply say this: hold it, use it
with speech recognition software, and you will be convinced.

Comments: If
you don't mind the need to use an appropriate microphone stand (see
below) this is an extraordinarily high quality desktop or hand-held
microphone for use with speech recognition software. It will
provide superb results and is very very noise canceling. We have
been amazed at the ability to successfully use this microphone a
full 12 inches away from our mouth and get great speech recognition
results even with music playing from our desktop speakers.
We recommend
using it with a monaural external sound adapter, such as the Andrea
USB adapter, but using an appropriate XLR to 1/8 inch adapter (see
below), it can also be plugged directly into your PC. Be sure to
order the XLR to 1/8 inch male adapter (below) and consider the
foam wind screen. Shipping weight about 3 lbs.
Special Note: This microphone is not bundled with a cable. If
you plan to interface this with your PC or an external sound
adapter (recommended), you should purchase one of the XLR to 1/8
cables below.
