CONTROLLERS
​
You can purchase through us for ease or you are more than welcome to buy through Amazon, Dictate360, Pacific Transcription etc. We are in no way affiliated with any of these other companies, however there is a choice and a variety of prices which we believe you should research and find the better fit for your budget.
​
We stock compatible controllers, check out our products page to buy.

​
SOFTWARE
​
We purchase all ours through Pacific Transcription for a brilliant competitive rate of around $50. You can find it elsewhere, but this was the cheapest we found.

​
HEADSETS
​
Again, price around for a good noise cancelling headset. Your soundcard can make all the difference between a good end product and a bad one, so do ensure you have a good one installed. Sometimes the lower end computers / laptops have the cheapest one installed and this ultimately will let you down in the long term, so if you are updating your system, request that you have a really good soundcard, ideally a gaming one will ensure you hear all the background noises and the quiet whispers which are often missed.
​
We ourselves use MSI DS502 Gaming Headset. I has 7.1 surround sound and it captures everything.
​
Again, always price around as costs will often change but we will often have these in stock. Check our products page to buy.
