Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser BW 900 Lightweight Wireless Bluetooth Headset for Phone/Mobile
Digital camera Review: An excellent product for Voice recognition
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this headset with my Nokia N78 mobile phone via Bluetooth with no problems.
However it was brought primarily for voice recognition using Dragon Naturaly Speaking.
I have tried a number of wireless headsets for voice recognition, all with little success.
This however has much exceeded my expectations. Performance is is definitely superior to my Andrea wired headsets.
Documentation for connection with a PC is poor, but usage is actually fairly straightforward.
The headset comes with a connecting cable to connect the Sennheiser base station to the analog sound connections on your PC. Connect the cable to the "phone" port beneath the base station. I tried this but was unable to get it to work satisfactorily, mostly due to complexities with my external speakers and so on.
I then paired my Headset directly with my PC via Bluetooth and chose the Bluetooth profile in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. After a short amount of training, this worked extremely well, about as well as my Andrea noise cancelling microphone. Since I use a Bluetooth mouse as well the headset caused my mouse response to lag a bit. Battery life also seemed to drop a bit.
Finally I then ordered a Sennheiser USB (UUSB1) Adapter (yes, it would be useful is Sennheiser included this $30 object in the box but I suppose some users would not need it). This adapter uses superior digital sound processing instead of the analog of the supplied adapter. After connecting my Sennheiser base station to my PC via this USB connector, choosing the USB profile in NaturallySpeaking and then doing a bit more training (I'm getting a bit tired of Alice in Wonderland) I was away.
Voice recognition quality is superior to anything I've experienced so far.
Even with a stereo playing quite loud or a friend speaking 1 metre away the noise cancelling enables the system to keep functioning. I would however still recommend using a quiet room and careful enunciation for optimal results. It is also wonderful to have no wires, and the headset drops neatly into the charging receptacle when not required. Battery life when connected seems to be about four hours.
Another (expensive) tip: get a system with a very fast processor and plenty of memory-mine is a new Pentium I7 920 with six gig of RAM. You will then find that the voice to text is almost instantaneous. Best of luck, Bushpossum.
