That wouldn't work for me, My all-in-computer has it built in mic. I don't have to worry about it to much. Reason, it doesn't really understanding what I am saying. I tried cortana in windows 10 preview didn't work to well. I also tried Google Voice Search in Windows 7 this didn't work to well either.
Google Voice Search is provided in Google Chrome browsers. Google Voice Search mic tends to timeout to quick

Yup. I mean you can always change settings and all that stuff. Everything does get ridiculous and things are only going to get worse. That is because every business now (regardless of what they say) sees you as the product, and things are not like they used to be.

Dumb Question time.
Why isn't google chrome browser detected as spyware by virus scanners and even malwarebytes?

Why would an anti-virus program complain about any browser connecting to the Internet?
I've never seen any AV complain about:
- Customer Experience programs
- Automatic update searches & retrievals
- Plugin and add-on searches & retrievals
- VMs connecting to the NIC
Given the way a lot of modern software behaves, I'm surprised that AV programs can detect anything at all.

Never mind, Samsung, GOOGLE will EAVESDROP as you browse on Chrome âVoice Search extension project described as 'Ear of Sauron'
Those uneasy about Samsung's "smart" television terms and conditions are going to have a nervous wobble about a project along the same lines underway at Google’s Chocolate Factory.
The realisation that anything spoken near your Smart TV might be recorded and transmitted to a third party is bad enough, but how about the possibility of "always-listening voice search" getting built into Google's Chrome browser?
The "always-listening" feature is available via Google Voice Search Hotword (beta) extension.
We’re indebted to Sean Sullivan, a security advisor at F-Secure, for going through the fine print and finding an interesting snippet explaining that “Chrome will listen for you to say 'OK Google' and then send the sound of the next thing you say plus a few seconds before, to Google.”
Sullivan ponders in a blog post: “That's the thing about voice ‘activated’ devices. They're always listening, [a]lways recording (to a buffer). The question is: how much gets uploaded to the voice recognition service?
“Are you comfortable with a ‘few’ seconds?”
Google Voice Search has been around for months – and we’ve covered it before – but exactly how it works it once again becomes topical in the wake of the Samsung Smart TV privacy flap. We asked Google to comment on how the technology works and will update this story as and when we learn more. ®
