Mark McGuinness over at Lateral Action had an interesting post about how Dragon Naturally Speaking (affiliate link) can make you a better writer. I couldn’t agree more.
When it comes to creating content for SkillCasting, a transcription tool is a clever way to get more things done. I’ve used my iPhone combined with iTalk Recorder and Dragon Naturally Speaking to create remote transcriptions.
The video below shows you how I do it.









HI I CANNOT GET THE VIDEO OF YOU TO STOP FREEZING. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. PERHAPEPERHAPS

Uh, not sure I follow. Are you having problems watching the video?
thanks it works great however if you use iProRecorder it already downloads as wav file so you save a step.. cheers keith
Keith,
Great catch and good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Anything that saves a step or two in the process is a help. Hopefully one day we’ll have MacSpeech able to import .aiff or .mp3 files so we won’t have to use Dragon under Windows.
Nice , very helpful .
Now it’s even simplier…
Yes, the new Dragon iPhone app has GREATLY simplified things. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s awesome. And yes, it really does work.
If you’re not familiar with the punctuation commands, it’ll really help if you speak your periods, comma’s, and new paragraph. Once you do that, you’ll get well formatted text. Then it’s a snap to send it to an email or copy it all.
As the guest video shows, it’s no longer necessary to have the full-blown app running on a computer. Just use your iPhone.
Apple, you should REALLY consider licensing this technology from Dragon.
Super Scott, but too many operations for simple voice recordings… We have a far more efficient and practical, fully automated way to transcribe from your iPhone. Please download and test Transcription Aid from http://transcriptionaid.net/download/index.php

How do I get the appwowpls” HELPtyvm
Also to each of the options which we have all grown to love, the iPhone 4 will supply you with some new factors. It would be sporting a new HD camera and will have a new working process, the iPhone 4.0 OS, which helps multi-tasking. Once you by now own the alot more latest iPhones, you’re able to improve to this new operating strategy. But, when you have one of many earlier iPhones, you will have to decide to buy the new iPhone 4 to benefit from the new perks.
