You might want to try the Shure TCHS cordless mic which has its own volume
control...also, in ver. 4.0 of NatSpeak you may have the ability to set a
mic boost in the audio set up wizard (it's a check box on one of the
screens).

Hi,
I recently had a query from a visiting teacher who sees a student with a
significant physical disability. She has great literacy skills, is very
mature and very motivated to use SR. She has DNS on a laptop. The
teacher reports that they can't get past the audio set up stage with the
microphone not responding to the student's voice (the environment is
quiet and the laptop has above optimum recommended memory/speed capacity
for DNS. The teacher has tried the mic and it's fine for her stronger
voice.
Would you suggest a different type of microphone? If the teacher was to
use her voice for the initial set up is it likely that the student
would be able to perform the training of the phrases required by DNS?
Thanks for your help,
Ania Ciechanowski
