Another option would be to use a desktop mic for the voice recognition software. I also had a client use the computer's built in mic, and she was able to get surprising accuracy. 

FYI, if you change mics with dragon, you  need to create a new profile.

I'm working with a person with ALS who would like to find a completely hands-free headset to use with his cell phone and computer simultaneously: He needs to be able to switch between functions (his phone and Dragon Naturally Speaking on his computer) without having to bring his hand up to the headset.

Any ideas?
