The same reason is hard for me to believe your Dragon tests. You cannot
prove them or disprove my claims.
Believe it, I could go faster if I wanted to using WSR, but I do not dictate
that way and nor do many other people except you, but then you are an
exception to the human race!

I believe I got my point across and it did its job.

To be honest, I do not care what you think or believe. It is fast enough
for me, faster than typing and I prefer it to Dragon. Get over it.

Lol! Is that the best you can do?

Yeah! He who professes to know the meaning of déjà vu and whose spelling
using Dragon is atrocious. I'm so glad you're looking over my shoulder.
It's a world of comfort. Lol!

It is not an emotional attachment; it is just a statement of fact.

It is not that difficult to understand really but I can see for someone like
you, that everything is difficult to understand.
The Sennheiser 431 ll microphone is designed specifically for speech
recognition. Fact. It is also known worldwide to be the best desktop
microphone on the market. Fact.

I have three microphones. All of them have their own characteristic
advantages.
The Sennheiser ME3 headset microphone is extremely accurate and noise
cancelling, mainly because the microphone element is right by the mouth and
therefore cancels out any noise around it. I would say it is on a par with
the MD 431 ll. The only problem for me is that I find headset microphones
uncomfortable to wear and the fact that I cannot take them off physically
because of my disability.

The Buddy Desktop microphone is also very accurate but not so noise
cancelling. It is very prone to picking up noises around it. Apart from
that, it has the advantage of sitting on a desktop and not taking up much
room.
So you see, there are differences with different microphones and they DO
make a difference to the accuracy of speech recognition, no matter what you
say or what gibberish you spill.

We beg to differ then.

I do not know enough about 64 bit apps or what it means except to say, that
a 64 bit OS is better for gaming or stuff like that.
Perhaps you could enlighten me on what the advantages of a 64 bit app can
do?
On second thoughts, don't bother. I will probably get a 16 page essay full
of nonsense as usual!

Oh please! Isn't it time for you to grow up? You are an 80 odd year old
man for Christ's sake. Start acting it!
I do not have to and will not pander to your childish tests. How old are
you in the head, 3?
I feel quite sorry for you really. You are quite sad and you must be
lonely. Still, look on the bright side; you still have death to look
forward to!
