(I did search for this on KB, I thought it would be in one of the forums!)

I Google searched for "best tablets with voice recognition", etc. for a while, with mixed results, mostly no clear results.

I find especially this summer, I'm going to need portability on a computer, but I can't even text without arm consequences.

My guess is that the best speech recognition out there is some app (android being the best?) where you dictate into a box and then you have to transfer it over.

I also researched, or tried to, "best styluses with tablets". Nothing really clear there either.  My fear is that with a lot of tapping on the screen, no, I won't be able to use it.  Like, I read on here somewhere, the technology hasn't caught up yet. :-O

Thanks

What can we say, you beat us by a 9 hours

Let's start with your stylus question. If you decide to go with a tablet computer, you might want to check out the
Buddy StylusMic tablet computer microphone.

 

We have tested several Android and iPad 3's. Although we have been impressed by the mobile version of NaturallySpeaking and Siri (which appear identical) you should only consider using them for quick notes, searches or lite e-mail. We couldn't remotely recommend using Siri for serious speech recognition work.

 

There is no way that we can recommend any non-PC tablet for speech recognition use and we’re not exactly overwhelmed with the current Windows-based PC tablets as most of them are a bit underpowered. However, we have been impressed with a lot of notebooks and most recently, we were impressed by the new M-tech M6650 notebook computer which includes an i7 Ivy Bridge Quad core processor, solid-state hard drive, 16 Gb of RAM and pricing starts below $1000. You'll find our complete review at KnowBrainer M6650 Notebook Review

thanks Lunis. That's wild, a stylus that is also a microphone. Can I ask you to explain it, or maybe you should just tell me to go click on the PDF on the knowbrainer buddy stylus mic site, Because I (unsuccessfully) tried to glean info from the site, but have not clicked on the PDF yet.

Just click Buddy StylusMic to view a full description of the world's only stylist USB microphone from our website. Essentially, the Buddy StylusMic is a stylus mic that includes 2 programmable buttons (think microphone on and off or momentary switch), built-in microphone at the top of the unit which is connected, by a coiled cord, to a Buddy 7G USB soundcard. The USB soundcard also doubles as a stylus holder. After you click the previous hyperlink, left click on to the picture for a more detailed larger view.

it looks fantastic - has anyone used this? Or, rephrase: does anyone on here have this, use it, and love it?
