Hi, Returning to P2Exe after several years. I am planning a project with voice-over which I have never done before so thought I would revue suitable microphones. Due to hand problems I also plan to use voice recognition software with the same microphone so have excluded recorders such as Zoom. After a few days research I feel I am going round in circles and would appreciate some help. I have concluded that a USB microphone is the best choice as it by-passes the sound card. Is that correct? I have considerable background traffic noise in the room I plan to record in and wonder if I could suppress the background noise better with a Lavalier rather than say a cardioid microphone. Have no experience of either so welcome any comments. I have listened to the Logitech H360 recording made available by Yachtsman1 in 2014 but think the background noise in my situation would be intrusive. Has hand-set technology moved on at all in the intervening years? My budget is £50-£70. Appreciate any advice or if subject already covered elsewhere a pointer to the post. TIA
