They have several different models, all of which are on a wireless protocol (I believe it is 2.4 GHz, at is definitely not Bluetooth), and the signal is encrypted so that one does not have to worry about somebody "intercepting" confidential information. Broadcast range is somewhere between 100 and 300 feet. You set it up in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software as a USB microphone. They are currently producing the Plantronics WO 300, but I have been using the WO 200 and WO 100 with good results.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#002060'>They make a companion model called the 101, 201, etc.… however this is specifically designed for VOiP telephony like Microsoft Lync.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#002060'>You can purchase this product line from any number of Internet outlets, or a number of major retailers.
