I've used Simon for a number of weeks now with a number of mics and can
definitely say that the mic's quality and it's rejection of background noise
make a large difference in recognition rate.

Now that the "newness" of Simon has worn off, I've gone back to doing a _few_
thing with the keyboard/mouse that I had trained but I still use Simon a lot.
Simon is now another tool in my kit to optimize my interaction with the
machine. Great tool though!
