? -- well, that isn't the Philips's fault!! -- I'm moving from
it because it's slightly heavy and I don't want to make my hands
worse.
Dragon found it was very sensitive to small changes in position.
I don't find that.

Someone who works (worked?) with Dragon told me if you get average
you've "passed the Dragon test", and my recognition is just fine.

The only mikes I've come across that worked like that were omni-
directional. They don't work for serious voice recognition but
they do "understand" commands.

My interest in them is accuracy only, fortunately!
