Q: When using dictaion for OS X Mavericks, is it possible to use a wireless headset like a Ant Bluetooth?

When using dictaion for OS X Mavericks, is it possible to use a wireless headset like a Ant Bluetooth? And I read through the Dictation command list so I assume you can't delete but if there is a way please let me know. Thank you!

A:

You wouldn't happen to know how I can connect my BlueAnt to my Mac would you? I clicked on the Bluetooth icon at the top of the page and it didn't show up on the list.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. It uses whatever input source you have selected.

Open the Bluetooth system prefs and set your Ant to discoverable mode. It should then show up in the list.

Nevermind I got it to work however it is kind of garbage. Is there a specific product you recommend that I might get specifically for dictation that is wireless and more accurate? Thank you for your help.

I'm a college student so I think things like this might make things a lot easier for me school.

Not sure. I would first make sure a wired or built-in microphone works as you think it should before investing in another bluetooth headset.
