Voice recognition problems in Brain Age for the Nintendo DS

Question:

I have found your website pretty informative, but I have a question for you regarding the brain age game or maybe the ds system I have. It seems that there is an issue with the voice recognition or something, when you play the part in the game where you have to answer for the rock paper scissors….it rarely recognizes what you say or the program is identifying the object wrong. Have you heard of this before? I just bought the system and do not know if I need to return the game or system. Any suggestions?

Voice recorders for Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Question:

Help! I am technologically challenged when it comes to tech devices. However, I need some of these new gadgets. The first one I need is a digital voice recorder. I just started business school and I want to buy a DVR [digital voice recorder] to tape classes, and field projects. I want to load it to my PC with ease and maybe get the Dragon software to transcribe it for me. I need the sound to be excellent. I was told the new Sony ICD- U60 would be great because of the hours it records, and  it includes the USB on the unit. But limited reviews say the sound quality is horrible. I don’t want to spend more than $100 to $120 max. Whose product should I buy? You mention the Sony ICD-P520 but I don’t know when you did that review. There has not been a current rating and review of DVR. Can you do an updated rating/review? Or just tell me one that would meet my needs? I also heard Olympus has good products.  If you can let me know your recommendation by the end of the month that would be great. Thanks.

Voice recognition and hardware system requirements

Question:

I came across your informative website and wondered if you would be kind enough to answer a question.  I am about to buy Dragon [NaturallySpeaking] 9 and a new laptop to carry around to the places that I consult to.  I would use the laptop for dictating and editing reports and surfing the Internet.  I am not a gamer or multimedia person although I do basic PowerPoint presentations.  A firm I consult to gets me a 25% discount on Dell products so I tend to lean in the Dell direction.
