Upgrading my dictation

Prompt for the week: You wake up in the middle of a dream. But, you can control every aspect of this dream and you start with a cup of wine in your hand. What happens next?

Motivation: “Art is anything you can get away with.” – Andy Warhol

I want to talk about tech startups when doing dictation.
First you might start off with some free apps. This might include a Google Docs, voice apps on your phone, some transcription services that might be inexpensive.
You might jump into what I did next. Which includes getting a recording device and headphones.
And lastly, my latest improvement. This includes the microphone that I have on my desk, which is primarily used for podcasting but I have been training my Dragon on this for a while.
This makes this the ideal microphone for dictation and I am also using Audacity
My results I would say it’s probably about 97 to 98% correct now.

Hey Writer!

I’m Massiel and I’m a women’s book coach.

I’m in the process of developing a program that can better serve busy women just like you overcome time management and writer’s block so they can finally tackle their book.

I used to be in the exact same position, and found a way to write over 2 dozen books in just five years. I now am on a mission to help people like you do the same!

That said, by filling out this survey, it will help me tremendously to learn more about busy writers who are struggling with confidence and time management and want to get writing with a plan and with confidence.

In exchange for 15 minutes of your time to fill out my survey, I will be selecting 5 lucky people to hop on a FREE 30 minute Book Game Plan with me so I can help you solve your problem, absolutely no charge!
