How to Use Speech Recognition Software to Help You Write Articles Faster

Once you start to type article after article, maybe an e-book in between, you might start feeling the beginning symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a very serious disorder that affects the tendons in your hands and can cause a great deal of pain. It can keep you off the keyboard for long periods of time too! So, getting a program that saves your wrists while it increases your writing speed is really a great investment for you as a content developer.

One of the programs I have tried in the past is Dragon Naturally Speaking 10, which is a tool for Internet marketers who may have a good idea of what they want to say, but have very poor typing skills. It allows them to speak and have the program type the spoken words into a word processor for you. It may take a while to get used to, but the newer version has about a 99% accuracy rate. You will still need to proofread your work before you send it, but generally that makes it even easier to do. If you type something, you will notice that reading it over for grammatical errors is harder for the writer, and that’s why people generally hand off their work to others to proofread. But, if you speak the words, you’re eyes will see the words as new and won’t be as likely to filter out the mistakes when you proofread.

If you can’t imagine how much this program can speed up your writing, think about this. Nuance.com, the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking 10, estimate that people typically type less than 40 words per minute, but can speak up to 120 words per minute. That’s three times faster! So, if you get into the hang of using this program, you will have the potential to be three times faster than normal!

Now, that isn’t the only benefit you get with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10. You can also search the web much quicker by using web commands to do your surfing. In fact, you can even create word commands that allow you to insert blocks of texts or images into your documents. This is particularly effective for inserting signatures. The program isn’t just used with Microsoft Word. You can also use it with Outlook, Excel, Corel, and WordPerfect. There is even an option to use a hand held device when you’re not near the PC to later use with Dragon Naturally Speaking to insert into your documents. It is also compatible with a nuance-approved Bluetooth headsets.
