how can you use a microphone hooked up to your computer to listen to your voice and type for you?

you need a voice recognition program.  Good ones that can really differentiate diction are really expensive.

Well, the easiest way is to buy a microphone designed for use on a computer.  There are a lot of them available, and they normally start at about $5 and go up.\n\nThese microphones are all low-power condensor type of microphones.  They have about the same quality as the microphones built into a tape recorder.\n\nIf you want to go up a step higher, then you need a bit more equipment.  A Mixer Board (like a DJ uses) lets you plug in higher quality microphones.  They are more complex to get up and running, but if you want high quality, it is the best way to go.  I do this, and have a $250 Shure studio mic hooked up to my computer.

I don't think there is a good way. You'd need to write code to filter the tone out of the microphone data, figure out the frequency, and give feedback to the user. It can be done, but it would be way more trouble than it's worth in any language I can think of. IMO you should just put up the $20 for a pocket tuner.

yes.  they are cheap and easy to find.  Even if your computer has a built-in mic, you'll be happier having one to speak into directly, instead of bending down to yell at your keyboard!

Are you looking for something like this?  It analyzes the mic input to your PC's sound card.  You can use it as a spectrum analyzer or oscilliscope.\n\nhttp://downloads-zdnet.com.com/Wavetools/3000-2169_2-10412688.html?tag=lst-0-6

hmm. that's easy. just plug the wires to the green and pink circles at the back of your pc. green for the headphone and pink for the microphone. if it came with a cd then you should install it first.

You can't. It is packaged with it. Just don't use the 'voice' option. It doesn't do anything to your computer one way or the other.

I would recommend using the free "Audacity." You will, obviously, need a microphone as well.\n\nHere is Audacity's website: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Well there are two parts to that...\n\nFirst: you need to record the sounds (i.e. your dictation) you can do that with the audio recorder that is part of windows or any of many freeware, shareware or commercial software... For voice nearly any thing will work. \n\nSecond you need to tranfer the audio file to a CD... this is where it gets tricky... how do you want to use the CD...  If you want to play the file on a CD player you will need to encode it as a CD... The newer versions of Windows Media Player can do that or you could find a find freeware, shareware or commercial software (there are dozens out there)\n\nIf playing the audio on a computer is okay all you need is cd-r (writer) drive and softwar to drive it the Drag and Drop cd writer that come with Windows XP should or you could get other software to do it...\n\nTo define the exact process I would need to know more detail about what you want to do and what hardware and software you have to work with...\n\nEnder

On the back of your computer find what looks like three headphone plug ins.  One will have a picture of a microphone plug it in there.

It depends on the type. If it is a USB type, then plug it into the usb port. If not, it will plug into the audio/mic jacks usually located on the back of your computer.
