Article Writing Templates
- Thread starter jezlad
- Start date
Do it all the time. In fact, I can't dictate an article UNLESS I'm mowing a lawn.
EzineArticles sells of a deck of cards that have templates on them.
I use the latest version of Dragon. With 4 minutes of training I get almost 100% accuracy.
But that is in a silent room, with a high dollar microphone and inline amplifier.
All this is worth it for me to save time doing corrections.

Any update on this please?

(this is a reply to the suggestion to use Dragon Naturally speaking where the contributor literally walked through how they use it - my response was "Duh - never thought of using it like that")
ooo blimey - I often find myself talking to myself and speaking the content of the article / page / whatever that I'm going to write - only to forget it by the time I get round to sitting at the computer and writing - at least this way when I'm in the flow I'll be able to record it and use it. Whether what gets recorded is worth publishing is another thing...
but definitely worth a go. I taught myself to touchtype when I was young and hit around 50 words a minute but even so - talking is faster and takes less brain power... more time to think up catchy phrases and get people hooked. Nice tip - really hadn't thought how using dictation software could help and was clearly missing the bleeding obvious so thank you.

I would think templates would make it slower trying to find the right words to fit in an article rather than using your own.

Think your missing the point here. These are just OUTLINES to give you an idea of the flow of your article. Really speeds things up. Still looking for the Deck of Cards

I've been toying with the idea of using a speech to text program for my writing... Might have to give this a try. The only problem is that I do a lot of my work in public, so that might get a little awkward. Heh!

Dragon seems to require a reasonably fast machine to use well. Mine's a bit older, within the specs, but the program is so slow that I finally uninstalled it. Was wondering how well it worked on a good machine.
