Writing Tips for Dragon Naturally Speaking

skyward · 09-15-2009, 10:59 AM

Does anyone have any tips for creating articles with Dragon? Do people still hand write outlines and then go from there?

One tip I learned that has been working well is the IRC recorder idea; that is, speaking into a digital recorder when away from your laptop, and then transferring the file and transcribing in Dragon.

Thank you for your help. Any additional thoughts would be great.

I usually dictate my content direct into the Dragon Naturally Speaking. It was tough in the beginning as I struggled to get it familiar with my accent, but now it's super fast to use it.
I prepare my research material beforehand and a simple outline in points, and then go on from there dictating it.

Thanks Sahi,

Using bullets sounds like a great idea. I'll probably add them to my outlines as things get going.
