Sound card info sought

I intend to buy a sound card for transcription ...., mostly I would use it for audio files i.e.., plain dictation files (medical transcription).

I hear that in mono mode, i would get optimum performance vis-a-vis voice-only files.

Any mono sound cards available still ?

Also, I'm using mono headset "Koss DC-10"

How about mobo compatibility issues ?

Guys, help me choose one.

i dono about that but heres a suggestion.

since ur gonna b using mics and quality is really important, get USB mics not the normal ones...they got much better clarity

How about the bit depth - 64bit/32bit, Max sample rate - 192 kHz/96kHz ?

What are the parameters for excellent voice-audio reproduction ?

@ishaan...., mics ??? !!! I don't have to use mics. I reckon u r telling me about microphones !!!

There is not going to be any direct communication (not live work) with the dictator...., he just dictates whatever that is to be documented by me...., and sends it over to me to convert it into a text document...., that's all.

For this...., I ought to have a pucca sound card.

Hope U guys got the point.....
