How to Write Faster using Speech Recognition Technology
First, I need to mention that I used to be a software developer for a company that developed speech recognition software, and that it was acquired by Nuance. That being said, I’m not receiving any financial rewards for telling you about this product.
I just happen to love using Dragon Dictate on my Mac to write faster. If you’re on a PC you’ll want to check out Dragon Naturally Speaking.
I’ve personally seen my writing time decrease significantly after I started using dictation. If an article usually took two hours, it would take me only one to write and edit. How’s that for how to write faster tips?
Using speech technology takes some getting used to, but once you’ve got the hang of it you can really write faster, articulate your ideas more easily, and jot down notes at a faster rate.
Another benefit for me has been the ability to write articles and article outlines while standing up with a headset on. That way I’m not sitting down all day, I can take small walks while I’m talking my articles out.
