I'm just astounded. As
much as I use Amazon to shop I just cannot get over how efficient
service seems to me. Now, the last two or three things I purchased on
Amazon actually arrived the next day. This afternoon Mark Anthony was
over helping me out was questions I've generated regarding my
microphone system for my speech to text operating systems.
I've talked a little bit
about the speech to text I prefer to use. DragonDictate is the
software I use. I've gone into some depth on other postings but
suffice it to say I like Dragon except I've been getting frustrated
with the software or perhaps the microphone system I've been trying
to use. Over the past number of months maybe year I've noticed the
accuracy of my dictating get worse and worse. Part of this side
blamed on the loss of my hard drive a few months ago. But once I got
the new hard drive and reinstall the software not I went but becoming
more frustrated. I was getting the sensation that the computer wasn't
even listening to me or could hear me. Actually, since I have an
action cam on my computer screen microphone on the cam as been doing
the bulk of the recording. I am kind of surprised how few headset
microphones are offered anymore a place like Best Buy or other
computer type retail outlets. With all kinds of things on the
Internet of course which is well and good if you know what you're
looking for but I need help so I contacted Mark Anthony and asked him
to stop by which he did today. Not surprisingly, he was quick to see
that the headset I'm using is broken. The microphone system seems to
be nonfunctioning which leaves only the action of them microphone.
The action camera phones
basically okay except it since about 4 feet away from my mouth and I
know the little guy tries really hard but you can only do so much. I
find myself screaming out the camera and frustration when it can't
seem to pick up the words I'm trying to say and ends up sticking on
all kinds of words which it thinks is the right solution. So, with
Mark Anthony here we are able to isolate the problem and then go
straight to Amazon is able to purchase a low-priced head-set. I
know, they get what you pay for and I should've just bit the bullet
and ordered the headset would like 40+ bucks. I could even do it no
problem but I'm too cheap I went for the $27 headset which I covered
with my birthday gift from Shelley. The best part was that the little
notation at the bottom of the screen indicated the headset would be
in tomorrow afternoon sometime! I try to hate Amazon but,how can you
hate that kind of service?
Even with tomorrow being a
national holiday my new headset will show up at my door. I was really
hoping this headset will really help dictation in my peace of mind.
Feeling a little chagrined at this moment since I finally have any
issues tonight with my dictation. Still I have the money in my
account for my birthday gifts and I really feel I need to dictation
assistance. And best of all I get a new box on the outside my door
sometime tomorrow but I'm going to open up like a fourth grader at
his birthday party…
