Hi Rumbler:
I have a Plantronics head set. I don't know the model number as my employer bought for me. I think the cost was around $60.00-80.00. They bought it at Comp USA.
You seem to have plenty of RAM (memory) and a large enough hard drive. MY only question would be abut your processor. Doeadeer gave you the minimum processor required
Intel Pentium III / 500 MHz processor
Intel Processors and Celeon processors are two very different processors and are like comparing dogs to cats. Perhaps your friend can translate your Celeron into the Intel equivalent. A computer sales person should also be able to tell you what the equivalent is. If you like, I can ask the computer guy at work on Monday, he would know.
FYI: All software lists the minimum requirements on the package, so if you are looking at the various voice activated software programs, you can get an idea of the computer requirements needed to use with a specific software program.
I used the "Dragon" to types these posts. The first time I typed "Rumbler", He, "the Dragon" typed all sorts of things ie Rome being, Run a beer, etc. I had to add Rumber to my user files by spelling it out.
When I typed this post, he (the Dragon) remembered your name and typed it correctly the first time, even Capitalizing your name. I have used Dragon for 6 months and am still training him with new words. This is what takes so long at times to type anything using the Dragon, so it does take so patience, esp. if you are using "unusal" words.
Hint: When you first install the Dragon, it reviews all your files and emails to get a sense of the type of words you use and will try to match your dictation to words it has picked up from your files. This is very helpful if you are going to use medical/legal terms.
Question: You posted this under Voc Rehab. Are you going to get the software through them? I have had co-workers try to use software they got through Voc Rehab, and many times it is another software program that doesn't work as well as the Dragon. My employer ends up giving that co-worker Dragon and won't install any other program, even if it comes from Voc Rehab.
Good Luck with this
Curious George
