[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).

For questions such as these you may want to use our eSupport system  
to get answers directly from us. You can get there by going to  
www.macspeech.com, then clicking the word "Support" at the top of the  
page.

Best Regards,

Chuck Rogers, Chief Evangelist
