Hi, I apologize and ask for your understanding for my use of this genealogical mailing list to ask a non-genealogical question. The vast majority of time spent at my computer is genealogically related. I do not wish to give up my genealogical research due to eyesight loss since it is still possible to continue, even though at a much more limited and slower manner. As I have mentioned in the past the los of my remaining eyesight has resulted in a different approach and time required to conduct genealogical research. However, I continue to look for new software and hardware making research not only possible but also faster. I have recently found two software programs that will be of significant assistance. Both new software programs require a headphone/microphone. I am considering the purchase of digital wireless headphone/microphone. Bluetooth appears to be the most common wireless technology available. If anyone has knowledge of different brands of wireless headphone/microphone, or have used such or even own one I would greatly appreciate your opinion. 1. There are many brands and models ranging in a wide price. Is it one of those situations where you actually get what you pay for? 2. What is the best make and model from your experience or your opinion? 3. Is the difference between wireless vs. wired headphone/microphone significant? The reason for question 3 results from the necessity of a high quality microphone for one of the software' programs that is being evaluated. This particular software program convert's speech to text. I currently have an excellent text to Speech software program. This new software program that I am looking at has voice recognition, which many of you with cell phones would be familiar with, but it carries it one-step further by actually typing what is spoken. The clarity of the speech through the microphone is extremely important. If anyone has knowledge and wishes to be of assistance to me, please contact me "OFF LIST AT easamson@comcast.net." Thank you all again, Erik Erik A Samson Scranton PA 18505 easamson@comcast.net
