Speech Recognition Purchasing Guide

Ultimately, this is what this web site is about: finding you the best prices and best solutions in speech recognition software. Hopefully you will find Speech Recognition Solutions to be the best combination of price and support, both before and after your purchase. But there are many options when it comes to speech recognition technology and to a large extent the best solution will depend upon your finances, your willingness to purchase from multiple sources, and perhaps your ability to do a bit of tinkering with some of the hardware.

Microphones

Although we hope you will consider purchasing a microphone from us, we encourage you to visit our competetor's sites and purchase from the source that works best for you based on your location, intended suport needs, etc. These are the site we would recommend you visit:

Certain microphones can be purchased less expensively from large on-line wholesalers. For users that know exactly what they want and do not anticipate the need for human support, this is a perfectly good option. Be aware, though, that large retailors may be deficient in specialized knowledge that may asssist you in the correct choice of microphone and successful use of the microphone after your purchase. These are some sites you might check out for certain microphones:

  • Amazon.com: This is a source of many products at low prices.
  • B&H PhotoVideo: This is a trusted on-line reseller of a variety of online products, including microphones
  • Northern Sound and Light: This large reseller offers very good prices on a variety of microphones. Be aware that their advertised prices are not their best prices. You should call or email them for a specific quote on any product they show. The actual price you pay will likely be considerably less than the advertised price. Before we started purchasing Sennheiser ME3s directly from Sennheiser, this was our favorite source of this microphone due to the very low price.

Non-United States Sources of Speech Recognition Products

Although our experience with European and Great Britain sources of speech recogntion supplies is limited we can recommend the follow two sources with confidence:

  • ITSpeaking
  • Speech Empowered Computing - in addition to being a source of both software and hardware, this is a source of personalized training in the use of speech recognition software.
