font-family:Tahoma;color:black'>Hello,<br>
<br>
I have a question about people's experience using response boxes and <br>
microphones with E-Prime. My lab is considering using E-Prime for our <br>
stimulus presentation programs; the only hurdle at this point is the <br>
high cost of the PST Serial Response Box, for ourselves and for several <br>
collaborators we share our experiments with.<br>
<br>
Our experiments require precise timings for voice-trigger and <br>
button-press input. My question is, has anyone managed to use E-Prime <br>
with hardware other than the PST SR Box, particularly for voice-trigger <br>
input? For instance, is it possible to use a standard microphone with <br>
a good sound card for voice triggers, or a cheaper gamepad for button <br>
input?<br>
<br>
(PST tech support says such methods aren't supported, but I can't tell <br>
if that means they're difficult/impossible or only that the company <br>
prefers people to buy their hardware.)<br>
<br>
Thanks for any ideas or insight!<br>
<br>
Chris<br>
