Dear Monique, Bobbi and Jo,

Thanks so much for your input! You each have raised important points/considerations!

Monique, you have made a great point about accents!
This is something people probably rarely think of until after they have a problem? By the way, I had spent a good 15 years in the Greater Boston area and love the heavy Boston accent!

Bobbi, great info! One can never stress simply reading the directions enough! I recall teachers always stressing the importance of being able (and willing) to follow directions in my elementary school! I was lucky I'd had teachers stressing this point so very much in my school system! This had made a huge impression upon me! Thanks, too, for reiterating the important point of spending time with "training" the program! I need to plan on that!

Jo, I am grateful for your important points, as well! I did thinnk about a mic, at one point, but then had forgotten about it. I did not think about the sound card... at all! So glad you have pointed these things out!

I continue deeply appreciative of all of the assistance with this topic!

Many blessings!
