Quality voice recognition hardware for the Macintosh is here!  Macsense has teamed up with voice recognition leader, VXI, to provide a new line of headsets that will change the way you interact with your computer. 

The iParrott uses cutting-edge technology to provide the clearest voice recognition system currently available to Mac users at an affordable price. With its high-quality electret microphone and superior noise- canceling technology, the iParrott offers vocal distortion rates that are five times lower than competing headsets.
