High,
You may want to look at the Samson airline 77 wireless microphone.

Thank you Sue and others for your very useful suggestions. You were on
the right track. Sound recorder identified that it was the microphone at
fault as it worked with one I took to try. It turns out the end of the
plug was bent and had the very middle missing. The person I am working
with said it often gets caught up in his wheelchair whyich leads me to a
new question. Does anyone have experience with wireless headsets that
work well with Dragon? I am thinking this might eliminate such a thing
happening again and of course will mean one less cord to run over.
Cheers
Paula.

Paula,
A couple of questions: Check the version of J-Say. I'm thinking that
it should be 3 or 4, not 7. The version of JAWS, Dragon, and J-Say must
be the correct ones for everything to work properly. I don't remember
all of the matching versions but maybe someone who has kept track can
help you with that.
When the person tried upgrading to JAWS 8 did he or she uninstall JAWS
7.x?
If so, it will be necessary to run a repair on J-Say.
What baffles me is that this does not explain why Dragon is not hearing
anything through the microphone. This might be a little unconventional
but I check microphones by trying to record something with Sound
Recorder found
in the Entertainment subgroup of Accessories. You could also try
running
the Audio Setup Wizard of Dragon. This will check the volume and
quality of the sound the computer is hearing from the microphone. You
can find this in Dragon, in the Tools menu, in the Accuracy Center.
Give those things a try. If you can't hear anything with Sound recorder
or Dragon does not pass your volume and quality tests you may need to
get a new microphone. Pranav had good sugggestions.

Hi Pranav
I don't know what the sound card is so will find out. The headset is one
I had not seen before. It has Parrott written on it with the address
www.vxicorp.Com. I wondered if this was the problem but as I say, it did
work for a time.
Cheers
Paula.

Paula,
What microphone and sound card is your client using? See my response to
Arne for details.

Hi
I have recently started working with a person who has been set up with
Jaws, J-Say and Dragon about eighteen months ago. It worked for a while
but now we have some issues. The person is using Jaws 7.0, J-Say pro
version 7 and Dragon pro 8. He has XP with Service Pack 2. The
microphone does not seem to be feeding through information. It shows
visually that it is working once we added boost but the test said we
should hear something back through the speakers or headphones but this
does not happen. Any ideas on what might be wrong? Everything appears to
be plugged in correctly. Even when we managed to wake up the microphone
by using a mouse it did not respond to any voice commands. I am new at
seeing the system running so am not sure how to rectify the situation. I
know the person tried upgrading to Jaws 8 which was unsuccessful so they
went back to 7 and could this have caused an issue?
Cheers
Paula.
