Hello,

Message Inquiry:
A woman contacted eMicrophones because she is looking to help her 23 year old son with Cerebral Palsy attain higher accuracy with speech recognition. She wrote:

Would anyone be able to give me specifications for the Emkay VR3361 mike?

I'm currently using DNS 9 with an Andrea NC-61 headset plugged into my home computer's on-board soundcard. Accuracy is adequate, although it could be better.

My lively old Parrott headset developed a short somewhere in the wiring of the headset itself, and so reluctantly I retired it.

The Andrea ANC 700 and 750 active noise canceling microphones are true classics in the speech recognition world.

One of my Andrea USB pods gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, and the other has a cable that isn't in great shape. (I've used both for many years.)

As I said in my last post I'm thinking of going back to a corporate environment and it would be likely that I would get assigned a laptop.

Strangely, my Dell laptop has suddenly lost the ability to recognize my Andrea sound pod. If I try to use the USB audio input with NaturallySpeaking version 9, it tells me that I don't have the required device attached. If I remove the pod, and then reinsert it, the computer tells me that it can't find the right drivers. (As far as I know, no special drivers should be required.)

Hi,

I have an Andrea ANC-750 that I'm needing to repair. I do not have any experience with electronics so took the headset to an electronics store and agreed to let them chop of the original mike jack. They suggest I solder the wires to a new 3.5mm jack or take it to an electronics repair person to have them do it. Only problem is there are five wires in the lead and only 3 connection points on the 3.5mm stereo jack.
