By: Scott Baker

Narrated by: Scott Baker

As writers, we all know what an incredible tool dictation software can be. It enables us to write faster and avoid the dangers of RSI and a sedentary lifestyle. But many of us give up on dictating when we find we can't get the accuracy we need to be truly productive.

This book changes all of that. With almost two decades of using Dragon software under his belt and a wealth of insider knowledge from within the dictation industry, Scott Baker will reveal how to supercharge your writing and achieve sky-high recognition accuracy from the moment you start using the software. You will learn:

• Hidden tricks to use when installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a Windows PC or Dragon Dictate for Mac
• How to choose the right microphone and set it up perfectly for speech recognition
• The little-known techniques that will ensure around 99% accuracy from your first install - and how to make this even better over time
• Setting up fail-safe dictation profiles with multiple microphones and voice recorders, without impacting your accuracy
• How to train the software to adapt to both your voice and writing style and avoid your accuracy declining
• Strategies for achieving your entire daily word count in just one or two hours
• Many more tips and tricks you won't find anywhere else

It's time to write at the speed of speech - and transform your writing workflow forever!

great narration..finished book one night...best guide to right gear...clear no nonsense ...got me up and writing

absolutely helpful

very helpful, planning to use it, good job. thanks for additional information on all hardware and little software tricks.

I needed this!

This book really helped me to get on top of using Dragon to dictate my book. The software is great, but until you know HOW to set it up, you are wasting a lot of time and effort. Definitely worth the time and money to 'read' this book to get better at Dragon.

I would recommend you listen first, but also get the kindle book so you can get a good visual on where to click and where to find some of the options the author recommends. With Whispersync, it's a cheap addition to this version of the book.

Not bad

Find it quite useful, Liked it. Small but: some repetitions. Would however still recommend it.

Everything you need to know!

This book is so helpful! I've used Dragon a little bit and learned so much more about using it the most effective way possible. the tips about microphones and setup of the software are invaluable. And yes, I did dictate this review on my phone!
