Here’s a great & very useful tool that you may want to try in your business: Dragon Dictate Preferred Edition.
Combined with a good headset (we use the Logitech ClearChat Wireless Headset) this is a fabulous tool that can have a huge boost on your productivity.
Essentially you talk, your computer types. Easy. And after a little bit of training, the accuracy is actually pretty good (in fact I’m using it now!)
You can also use it to create transcriptions of recordings – for instance created on your iPhone. Here’s how:
Use the Voice Memos app to record you talking.
Sync your iPhone with iTunes & find the ‘voice memos’ playlist.
Right click the recording & choose ‘create mp3 version’
Then go to ‘recently added’ & drag the mp3 file to your desktop (to make it easy to find)
Then from the Dragon icon (in your toolbar) choose ‘sound | transcribe recording’
& in just a few seconds your voice is automatically turned into a document!
Of course this might need editing a little (you might also want to use commands like ‘new paragraph’ while you record to make it easy to read the text) but the bulk of the work is done for you.
Now you have no excuse not to create that blog post, article, free report or even ebook that you’ve been putting off for a while
