Writing Your Book as You Talk

If you have been procrastinating about writing your book because you can't type well, have carpal tunnel syndrome or a disability, or just plain think better while you talk, you can now put the power of your voice to work for you.          

I recently purchased a copy of ScanSoft's Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Standard software and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up and use.

The software comes with its own microphone headset and once you install it, all you need to do is train the software to recognize your voice patterns by speaking some short test paragraphs.

The accuracy is excellent and once you have it all set up, you can use the software to dictate all your emails, articles, and books with ease.
