    Computer recommendations

    @EricInLA - Darcey had great success using Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional. Two important parts to this - (1) use the Pro version of the software as it is much more forgiving and accurate and (2) use one of their recommended headsets. We used a Sennheiser SD-BS-US... and it worked well...
