Does it work for interviews, where two people are speaking? Is this possible?

No, there is NO voice recognition software that can do this at all well in 2012. You know how when you call an airline or bank and get into arguments with their voice recognition software that tries to listen to what you need? It's a long-term goal to develop reliable voice transcription that can listen to multiple people with multiple voicings and dialects speaking conversationally, but it's not even close to being implemented yet. Right now, the state of the art for voice recognition, which Dragon employs, is that each user develops his or her own personal user profile that gets more accurate the more it's used. Dragon can only use one user profile per session. The software has to be restarted to load a different user profile for a different speaker, so it's totally impractical in a meeting- or courtroom-type setting where several people may speak a sentence or two in turn. Dragon would do a very poor job in this setting without restarting it to change to a different user profile as the speaker changed--way too many errors to be useful. There is transcription hardware available elsewhere that tries to work around this using Dragon and Word. You need a translator, who re-dictates what he or she hears the meeting or courtroom participants say as they're speaking, much like a foreign translator at the United Nations. This person wears a device that looks like an oxygen mask (to focus the input to Dragon to that user profile, and also to reduce the noise in the meeting or courtroom from having another person speak simultaneously). The people who sell this hardware say that it works well and saves years of practice with a stenography machine such as the ones used by courtroom reporters. I haven't tried it, so I can't say if it's a good workaround, though I do agree that in theory, it sounds workable with a little practice on the part of the re-dictator.

I just purchased this MIC for our conf. room computer that we use with Web-Ex and Team Viewer online meetings and works great, you will need some sort of splitter that adapts the port to go both ways for a speaker and mic, but if your phone has the option for speaker mode built into it you would be all set. We are connected to our TV so we are able to use that speaker, I hope this helps and gives you a better idea with our scenario for your needs.

Yes, it's a perfect interface for that. Just make sure you set the input preferences in whatever recording program you use, to the M Audio, instead of the internal mic. Good luck !

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that

Honestly, a lot depends on how quiet the participants are. The mic is relatively sensitive, so if there are a lot of side conversations, the other party may have some trouble hearing those on your end. I felt like the speaker was plenty loud, though. Unfortunately there is no way to add additional mics to the unit.

Yes, I've used it with GoToMeeting as well and it works. Obviously the quality is better if it's a smaller room. Make sure the speakers are not too close by because the mic will pick up the sound coming out of speakers and you'll get feedback.

I haven't tried it, but since it can be plugged into other recording jacks that accept both mic. and line inputs I don't know why not. However a direct line from the mic to the computer would prevent any static interference so if you can do that it would probably be best.

You will need someone speaking into a microphone tied directly to the system translating the words. This only amplifies what is said through the microphone.

It connects via USB port - we have not tried to use two at the same time, but if they were on each side of the computer in opposite directions it may work. Not sure if there would be an echo between the two or not when someone speaking.

If you use a microphone similar to what you would connect to a computer sound card, then it ought to work. You may only end up with output from one speaker, but that should be the worst case scenario.

I would say yes. I've used it to put in audio after we've recorded our podcast. The quality of mic is great. The first thing to add would definitely be a pop filter. And get nice and close. Would be worth trying out to see if it matches your voice however.

This microphone will pick up the voices of people talking around the microphone, not just the person speaking directly into it. It picked up too many sounds like page turning when I was recording myself reading text aloud from paper notes. This might work for your setup. However, your question sounds more like a recording module question regarding how many microphone inputs it would have. This is just one microphone. Perhaps you could explain your question a little more? I'd be happy to answer right away.

no - but it sounded like a newer version of the same thing could do it when I talked with tech people. It might be possible to get a cord that's a headphone cord and split it to an iPod and the mic, though.

I would think so. Try putting speakers at different distances from the microphone. Seemed to give better reproduction when they were about 12-15 feet apart.And different tones at different distances.

Should work, but may cause distortion (signal overload) if all speaking at once or mic too close -- i think. though never done myselgf

I bought this for my son. He said it's not wireless, so he does not think you can use it as a mike for interviews. He has it on his desk, on a stand.

Hi I didn't try but I think it will work.. I saw that they have an Irig Microphone.. You can check it out
