Voice recognition: sound cards.

Below is a post addressing your question
----------------------------------------------

Benas:

The three best soundcards in our lab for voice recognition (which we tested with
Dragon's *superb* Naturaly Speaking product) are:

(1) Turtle Beach Fiji (the BEST results were in the range of 98% to 100%
accuracy).

(2) TerraTec EWS64XL (95% to 98% accuarcy -- some people got concistently
100%).

(3) Turtle Beach Malibu (same as the EWS64XL).

In all the above cases, we used a Shure semi-pro Mic and a good low-noise
microphone pre-amp.

NONE of the Creative's Labs soundcards were worth a damn, when it came to Speech
Recognition (though I personaly like my AWE-64 Gold, I still route the S/P-DIF
Midi/WAV digital channel to a TB Fiji card for playback and sampling).
