Philips have a device which comes with a windbreaker (the grey fluffy mic) which is designed to remove noise such as wind Philips DVT7110. There is nothing worse for a typist then trying to transcribe a file with a gale blowing into the microphone as it makes it more or less impossible to hear, no typist wants to return work incomplete because of bad weather.
