[MV] Using the DS2 with macspeech

[Chuck Rogers]

Richard:

You can't hook the DS-2 directly to the sound input on your computer  
because that is a LINE IN, not MIC IN. The difference in signal  
strength makes it unusable for a direct connection.

I got very good results from the DS-2 by just creating a new profile  
with the mic I normally use, then transcribing from the DS-2 and  
making Corrections. It only took a few sessions to get accuracy above  
92% (which is pretty good for transcribing from recorded files).

Best Regards,

Chuck Rogers
