On the good side, Trados uses a "compatible" type of text field, which allows you to leverage the spell checker and correct spelling mistakes with voice commands. (Unlike in Wordfast).



This used to be the case for DNS12. It looks like the latest version, DNS13, is partly incompatible with Studio 2014: You can't use ANY commands, just plain dictation (i.e. no correction of misspellings etc.), which is quite a big drawback imho.

Obviously the places selling the upmarket mikes say it makes a huge difference to accuracy, but they have an incentive!
Has anyone invested in an expensive mike and if so, did they find the investment repaid the extra cost?

I don't believe the microphone makes any difference. Oct 14, 2014

The cheap plastic microphone that comes with the software gives very good recognition quality. It's hard to imagine anything significantly better.
