Andrea Electronics C1-1021450-1 Model USB-SA-1 High Fidelity External Digital Sound Card with Noise Reduction Technology

Works excellent with VXI Tria USB headset. A must have for better microphone accuracy.

Very satisfied over the years with the Andrea USB pod for voice recognition (Dragon)

As a voice writer this is an essential tool that I use for work. Very good product!

I found the latency to be much higher than other options for speech recognition use. The audio was very quiet however.

Great sound card! Im a Massachusetts court reporter and I use a number of mics on the job. Having an external sound card is awesome!

Best SC ever

I bought this to facilitate hot-swapping my laptop computer... all my peripherals are plugged into a USB hub, so that docking/undocking involves only the HDMI video cable, the USB cord to the USB hub, and the power supply. For this purpose, it does the job. I cannot tell any difference in quality between this and the audio card built into the computer. I do note one downside. I dont know whether its a specific flaw in this product, or is endemic to USB sound cards. When theres no particular load on the computer, it runs fine; but if I put any significant demands on the computer, it will skip and sputter. This is not an issue with the speed of my system (Intel Core i7) or USB (3.0), but I suspect is an inherent weakness in using a USB sound card.

I needed this because I got a new computer and most new computers dont have separate input/output aka separate mic/audio jacks anymore and only have the audio now. I didnt realize this until I bought my new computer. For my work I need to record from my computer using an external microphone. The audio was terrible/unusable before buying this little gem, and now it is GREAT! Very happy!

Excellent

This is a replacement for the same product but older model. This newer model has the extended cable for easier access to surrounding USB ports. Ive only used it once so far but it seems to work as expected - which is what you always want; right?
