Wireless working

Hi there. You'll already know from my previous posts that I've started using Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 for my meeting notes, and for dictating the odd email reply. So far, it has worked well and I am enjoying the break from the keyboard. I've recently even been having fun with using DNS to issue commands, like saying "send" and the email I've just composed gets sent, for example. I have now taken it a step further. I recently scored a Logitech Clearchat headset, which allows me to walk around the room rather than being connected to the PC when dictating. After charging the headset and plugging in the USB receiver, I just stuck them on and was immediately getting all the system sounds through the headphones. I then lowered the mike boom, told Dragon I was now using a USB mike, and away I went. DNS asked me to read a couple of passages to check levels and quality, but that only took a couple of minutes and accuracy since has been excellent. I haven't extensively tested the claimed 10 metre range but I have walked around various hotel rooms, and into the bathroom etc without any problems. Aside from the freedom when working, I've also really enjoyed piping music through them when just hanging around in the room or working. The headphones probably aren't audiophile quality, but they more than enough for my needs and being digital, there is no radio hiss or anything like that. Whether you need a full headset or even just cordless headphones for your PC, these are a good option. They are also great for Skype. ...And now that I have a taste for working wirelessly, I don't plan to go back.

Later,
