3.0 out of 5 stars Good microphone for the price, December 10, 1999

This review is from: Jensen JMP12 Monitor Lapel Microphone (Electronics)

I wanted a microphone which would work with voice recognition software. The advertising said that this microphone was, "ideal for voice recording, voice recognition software or telephony over the internet." Ideal is not the word I'd use.

I tested the microphone with the voice recognition software. It came back with a below average rating and a warning that the voice recognition software might not work well with it.

In many cases, low quality voice recognition is worse than no voice recognition at all. Often I'll have to undo what the computer thought I told it to do. They say that a computer only does what you tell it to do. If the microphone does not clearly hear what you are saying, it will take a guess.

The bottom line is that for voice recognition, a higher quality microphone is needed. In a pinch if your keyboard and mouse were inoperative you might be able to make the voice recognition software work using this microphone. Personally I'd just turn off the computer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Quality, January 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jensen JMP12 Monitor Lapel Microphone (Electronics)

I bought this microphone thinking that it wouldn't be possible to waste only $2.99 on anything. I was horribly wrong. I plugged in the Jensen microphone and tried to record with it, but its quality was so awful that the sound was barely recognizable.

I bought this mic with some spare money on my e-card and thought it would be very poor. I was wrong. For the money this mic was high quality and very compact. It is great for chat programs that allow talking with mics and also good for talking with PC cameras.
