I recently stumbled upon a USB stick portable microphone out on Amazon. I didn’t realize these things actually existed. I like not having a microphone stand cluttering my desk or sticking in my face. Pretty inexpensive and, as far as I know, this is the only one like this offered out there. So far I really like it.
Mostly I just use it for dictation into documents and text boxes, like this one… saves me a lot of typing and spelling correction from fat fingers. Hooray.
