I use a regular microphone stand with a cheap radio shack microphone. It has always worked ok, but recently fell, broke and I know there must be something better.
Also I use a very old version of Dragon dictate (3.0). I have tried newer versions, 8 and 9 I believe. Although the dictation was much better and faster, I've always found the mouse commands are much better on the older versions. ( when the application was designed for disabled people, not lawyers and doctors secretaries). Anyone else agree?
