Hi everyone! Hello Ken! In the first step, I recorded the audio files with Ubuntu 7.04. Then I checked those audio files under Windows XP with Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Preferred. About the half of those audio files were OK, and I recorded the rest another time.
The audio files that I recorded with Ubuntu are a bit louder and a bit noisier than the audio files recorded under Windows XP. It is the same noise canceling headset and the same on board audio sound, because it is one computer with two different operating systems (Ubuntu and Windows XP).
I think this might be interesting for you to know that it is possible to check your own WAV audio files with DNS 9 Preferred.
