Does the headset have to be connected to the same WiFi network as the computer to be able to use it to dictate into Dragon. Thank you in advance!

The headset transmits to a small wireless antenna plugged into a USB port. You'd have to check with your IT people, but my guess is that you have to have Dragon installed on the same computer as you have the headset plugged into. By the way, this headset works flawlessly with Dragon. I dictate on and off all day, and have had no problems.

The headset connects to the USB dongle that comes with it, not your wireless network.

This device does not connect to your WiFi. Also, please note that this is not a Bluetooth headset, it is not Bluetooth compatible.

The included headset uses Bluetooth. Otherwise, the software is the regular Premium v12. You can use it with any wired headset even if you bought the wireless edition. No WiFi needed.

I haven't received my unit yet. I'm anxious to find out if it has a separate microphone jack so I can use Dragon speech-to-text software. If not I'm going to send it back. Specs are inadequate on the Lenovo site.

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly. In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless. Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices

Hi,This headset is not wireless, so no you can't. You always need to use a cable. But still! This is a verry nice headset! Good quality sound. Best wishes!

Your computer doesn't need bluetooth internally. This setup has a USB stick--looks like flashdrive--that allows the headset to connect to your computer.

This headset does not work with windows so there are two things you can do: Possibility one: download additional proprietory software (forgot the name... search the skype forum... I tried it free for a few days and it worked... lousily) Possibility two (recommended): return this headset and get one that works with windows.

Not sure if this answer the question but this headset has not individual requirement of its own...it works out of an ordinary sound jack as long as your equipment supports that it should be ok....there are no special drivers or software for it. Simply plug and listen...as long as the device has a headphone jack it should work in theory....but it is mostly advised to check on your particular device manual to see if the device is compatible. That's about it.

Actually, I have no idea for your query but I tested it with several vendor's USB headset(logitech, MS, jabra, samsung), even no brand named product china maded. There was no problem at all in terms of voice data transfering.

Well... Not quite. The laptop BT will not connect to this device: it's an either or deal - the headset connects to your Lync or Cisco, etc, via the USB then, your smartphone will connect to it via its BT, so that if you get a call to your cell number you can use the same headset and unplug it to walk around with it. I don't think the process you are wishing for is a reality yet.

it works by having a built in Bluetooth to connect to your phone, computer, tablet or whatever Bluetooth audio input/output device....it doesn't need a bluetooth headset. it is either your Bluetooth or your phone isn't configured properly.

Yes, this headset does work with Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10. In fact I'm dictating this response using this headset and Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10. You must buy the Plantronics Bluetooth enabled dongle and plug it into a USB port in order for it to work properly with your "Bluetooth enabled" laptop. I originally made the mistake of buying just the headset and not the Bluetooth dongle. The dongle is specifically adapted to work with the headset. (The bluetooth radio that came with your computer is not specifically designed to work with this headset)As far streaming music, I do not know the answer to that.

@ Tony, There are no drivers needed for the headset that I know of. You may have to buy a separate USB bluetooth adapter and install it to your machine. I recommend the Rocketfish. Its cheap, easy to install, and it works. My brother had a similar issue with one of his headsets (admittedly, not these) and when he got a different bluetooth adapter, everything worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

I see no problems. It connects with a USB cable and the computer has no problem recognizing it. Plug a headset into it and the system also recognizes the headset.

check your connections, and also check your software. It works fine with Dragon, but I don't know about any other software.

Hey man, I got your question but unfortunately I cannot answer it. I use a weave a regular PC. However the sound card that come with the headset is detachable, so you can use the set as a regular headset and just plug it in anywhere without the USB adapter. Hope that helps you cheers

i haven't had any luck so far, not because of skype but because the bluetooth on my computer won't register this as a full headset (mic and headphones) it only picks it up as headphones. i think this has something to do with pairing though. apparently it has two profiles, one utilizes remote controlling from the headphones and maybe the mic too and i guess the other only supports the headphones. i guess i'm going to try to UNPAIR them and see if that works.
