    I'd like to get a bluetooth headset, and talk to type in win 7. So i'm interested in somehting like; install dragon naturally speaking, pair bluetooth, speak into the headset, and use that for typeing long dictations, internet searches, and such. preferably, i'd like to enable windows commands...:"start, control panel..." or "start, firefox, twitter.com." If need be, i could go in and set up macros, and just say: "macro 1" that googles for xyz...but i need to know where to start in setting up these macros.

    Do bluetooth headsets have this capability? the pinnacle would be to get the Nexus 4 doing this... :)

    Thanks for your help

    I've read on Lifehacker that the dedicated headset works better than, say, a built in webcam mic. But they may have been referring to USB powered headsets. I imagine you shouldn't have any problems with a Bluetooth device for this particular function, though you might run into the conventional Bluetooth functionality nuances that seem to plague PCs.

    I'm not sure if this helps, but here's a brief tutorial on setting up macros in Dragon. Good luck!
