Hi,

I'm trying to do some research work in Speech Recognition. I just
notice that a good microphone is very important for the accurary rate.
It seems that USB headset with microphone is better. But it's too hard
for me to choose. Would you please recommend one for me? Price could
be $50 - $100. Thanks in advance!

You will find them all pretty similar. Choose on price and looks.
Choose one with a bendy arm, though, because the mic absolutely must
not be placed in front of the nose or mouth. It should be located at
the cheek, about an inch from the side of the mouth, between mouth and
nose heightwise.

The following are NOT USB - they plug into microphone/earphone sockets.

Logitech headset Dialog-812/stereo + Microphone - OEM - £6.48

Logitech Dialog-811 Mono Headset & Microphone - 3.5mm Jack - OEM - £6.60
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/48087

Both work very well (check ebuyer's customers reviews on above links)

(I prefer the mono version as it leaves the other ear to answer the
telephone)

In audio work SR is the acknowledged acronym for *SOUND REINFORCEMENT*.

Yes indeed. Sodium Ricinoleate - tingling fresh.
The SR advert was the first commercial shown on British
TV (not a lot of people know that:-.)
