Thanks I'll have a look at these and do a bit of studying, in the meantime the headset does appear to be working OK although I haven't actually tried it for pure text dictation yet

If you are fairly skilled at creating macros, the WSR macro program is free. The $15.99 WSRToolkit will help you easily create text macros, step by step macros, or edit more complex macros as well as import wave files from a digital recorder.
 
You can download the Microsoft Speech Macros program WSRMacros.msi at:

You may want to start learning WSR (it has not changed much in Windows 7) by reading:
"Getting Started with Windows Speech Recognition."
 
It is highly unlikely your blue tooth microphone will work with Windows Speech Recognition. We are testing a new Bluetooth headset that has a higher sampling rate (16 kHz) that is necessary to work with WSR.

Hi to everyone that knows me from the other forums, well I'm dictating this with Dragon on my now "old" laptop and without having a rant at Nuance, let's just say that the time has come to give WSR a try, have been meaning to do so for ages, but now have no choice as I'm running DNS 9 and it looks like you can't use it with Win 7.

Anyway, I am hoping to get some expert/practical advice on making the transition. I've been using Vocola/Unimacro and I'm hoping that most of the macros I currently use are either superfluous or can be recreated in WSR. What are the main differences or problems that someone who has been using DNS for about six years is likely to encounter upon switching over?

I see there is a toolkit and will definitely consider this in due course, as regards the video, I note that this is for Vista and wonder whether a new version for Win 7 is on the cards?

I am still making the transition between computers, but have already had one good piece of news. My Bluetooth headset paired up perfectly with the new laptop, as I suspected, built-in Bluetooth is so much better than a dongle in every respect.
