Well,

I have not tried the TalkPro, but the combination of a TalkPro Xpress 
(the TalkPro without a battery box) and an Andrea Electronics USB pod 
works very well with iListen. It's the combination I recommend. (It 
would be interesting to see how well either TalkPro worked with a 
Griffin iMic.)

I'd have to agree with you on the VXi parrott and the two Telex 
microphones being poor choices. I speak from experience as a 
long-time speech recognition user. I would not recommend the VXi 
Parrott or the two Telex models to anybody. I've always gotten poor 
to mediocre results with Parrott microphones, and I have heard 
nothing but complaints about those two Telex models from others. It's 
a shame to pair a decent speech recognition program with poor 
microphones.
