Article Marketing Secret- Heres How I Make Them Fast!

Cool idea!

Nice share Omar, but probably you should post this as a blog post on this forum for more exposure?

Nice video.

It will be nice if you could post it here .

Thanks

Good stuff Omar. Is Dragon still the best text to speech software?
Sure beats hammering away at the keyboard all day!

Nice video. Thanks.

Nice Video Omar, Like it!

How long did it take you to train it for your voice "question mark"

p.s. Wish you hadn't said you don't care whether or not the article is crappy. But that's better left for another thread.

I'm sold on Dragon.

I guess I was still thinking of the text-to-speech from years ago, because that was dead simple. I love being able to capture thoughts so quickly...and if I have to go back to edit, then it's no big deal.

thanks Omar

Dragon 10 is GREAT! It is faster and more accurate than was version 9.5, however Dragon does not run on my new computer!

Why not? Well, because ithe new laptop is running Vista (AAArrrgghhhhh) in 64 bit mode, and Nuance's website (The maker of Dragon) says Dragon can not be run in 64 bit mode. Period.

Oh great, a quick question to the computer's manufacturer (HP) and I learn the drivers on this comlputer are 64 bit. HP tells me the computer won't work in 32 bit mode because the drivers for this particular laptop won't run in 64 bit mode.

So you do need to be running in 32 bit mode for Dragon.

The difference between Dragon 10 Preferred and Dragon 10 Standard is the "Preferred" version can be run on up to 3 different computers, "Standard" can only be run on one machine.

Once you have loaded Dragon 10 Preferred onto 3 computers, it can not be loaded onto any other computers unless you uninstall it from 1 of the first 3, because Uninstall sends a message back to Nuance telling them you have uninstalled it.

If you lose a hard drive, you can't uninstall Dragon from that drive, and you lose your ability to have Dragon on 3 computers. Nuance's tech support tells me they can't fix this.

Again I love the program, but not the support system.

I may have to pick that software up since my neck has been killing me when i type lately!

Is it very accurate? Can't really see..

The application is called Dragon Naturally Speaking right?

Thinking of getting it..

I use Dragon 9.5 and it is fairly accurate. The more you use it the more it learns how you talk. I used the earlier version many years ago and the new version is so much better.

I'm sure there is a free 30 day trial somewhere online...I keep looking for one and post when I find it.

I'll throw in my 2 cents...

If you intend to get DNS, make sure you get a
quality headset to train and use with it.

If you use a shoddy headset, you're not going
to be happy with the results. Also, if you change
headsets, you may have to retrain, and nobody
wants to do that.

Good video man, I use Dragon myself and it rocks. One of the most useful app I've got recently. Thanks!!

great video...

Thanks for the video, I learned something new today

Suggest a watermark with your website name on your videos so we know where to visit before you mention the website. Put the watermark on the lower left corner because YouTube puts theirs on the lower right.

Nice hint Omar, I've been looking to get this myself for many other uses as well

I would much rather hand write all my stuff.. It's very much like coding a website, I want to make sure it is done properly the first time around and code everything from scratch and not use any free open source code or pre-made scripts.

Writing the same thing, write by hand and make sure it is done correct the first time around..

Good video Omar. I tried Dragon 9.5 with my laptops built in mic and it did not work so well. I may need to invest in one of those headsets and see if it works better. Good job

Hey thats a cool idea Omar,

I have never really used them before but it definately could be a worthwhile investment.

Cheers

Great video. How big is the file for Dragon?

Yea man, I always like to think outside of the box.

If you don't have some fun out of this business, then it's easy to go crazy in front of your computer. ;-)

Omar, Thanks so much for the kick in the pants. I have had Dragon 9.5 installed on my hard drive for over 2 months, and was 'scared' to even open it up and play around with it. Your set up makes it look so fast and easy, so now I know what I'm doing over the weekend! Guess I just needed to see it in action. Thanks!

Hey DNS Gang,

I'll give you another tip on using DNS that may help you get more out of your writing time.

I have found that while using DNS, I will keep my words flowing much easier, and with more enthusiasm if I stand to write.

This may sound silly, but if you pretend you're up in front of a crowd acting an an authority, you'll put out some remarkable content.

While doing so, you'll start to have more energy flowing both in your body, and your writing. And a bonus, you'll be less likely to get tempted to take "breaks" which result in flipping thru emails and wasting time on your browser.

Don't be afraid to animate yourself... it's important to move your arms and hands as you speak, just like those people from info commercials.

Walk around a bit.

Put some oomph into it, and I'll bet you'll continue to write larger projects this way instead of sitting to write.

Try it... I dare ya!

Dennis Wagoner

I use Dragon.. It's a great tool. Especially for those of us who dislike typing ( or should I say hunt and peck).

Get it if you don't have it already.

Joe

Never saw a voice 2 text app in action. Making me think about getting one now. Thanks!

I WANT ONE!!!!!!! PRETTY FREAKIN' COOL!!!!!!!!

Nice. Going to check it out now. I have tried Dragon Voice in the past and gave up on training it. It was taking too long and it never was too accurate. I could still type just about as fast as it took me to edit it. It looks like a big improvement.

I recommend DNS as it really works great in the latest versions. Just get a good mike.

TomG.

That was a great tip Omar! I know many of us would rather speak about a topic than type about it. For all the people who get stuck in traffic and can bring their laptop with them, you can be writing articles while you drive and then go back and edit them later. Just be careful, though, and make sure you have a headset so your hands will be free.

Great,Superb,Outstanding and Mind blowing .These are the only adjectives I can think of right now.

In the past I also tried to use DNS (version 9) but it was rather a very poor text interpretation by the software. So I abandoned the thought of using it.

But Version 10 seems to be super efficient to use and implement. So Omar BIG thanks to you for showing us the exact process.

I was actually looking to get a wireless headset but couldn't find them anywhere. Do you know how awesome it would be to be walking around doing an article...

Now you just made me HAVE to find a wireless headset..

Anyone know if Logitech makes them?

good information here, thanks

your welcome man...glad I could help. I use this thing every day, it was worth the investment.

Not knocking DNS or using text-to-speech, I'm sure it's a great time saver especially with the obvious improvements, just another take for those wanting that...

DNS might be a stretch for you cashwise at $190+ (that's on their current site), you could probably get it cheaper elsewhere, still... if you're just over broke and still want to get into article marketing, simply record yourself talking and have that transcribed. It's cheaper (to start) at about $1.5/minute (going rate).

When you have some cash from AM/IM then you could shell out for DNS et al..

Going the transcription route has the added advantage of letting yourself GO when you talk, with DNS it may be slower to "type" cos you have to wait for DNS to catch up etc.

Anyway, using DNS to "type" anything... articles, ebooks, warrior posts is a great tip that's been shared here before but lost in the infoclouds, it's good to see it used live.

Kunle

PS: Omar, maybe you can make a video of you using DNS with a screen recorder instead of an actual cam so viewers can see exactly how accurate it is etc. Thanks for the share.

Great video Omar! I've just discovered Dragon Naturally Speaking and I'm having a blast with it (writing articles has never been easier!) and you explain how to use it very well! Kunle makes a good point that is a bit expensive, but its thoroughly worth the price for sure. Top post!

Found this video on Nuance's web site... Nuance News

From all indications, DNS does more than simply type, it's a virtual desktop assistant that can run web searches as well as type and open up new programs on your system.

That's something I've always wanted but it hadn't yet been perfected when I was a toddler IMer, good to see this around while I'm senile

Samuel, DNS would definitely be worth the price (if you can afford it), I will be going for it myself especially if it does a whole lot more than typing and "types" as fast as displayed in above video. Yep, would definitely be worth it.

Thanks for the video, looks like i may have another toy.

Seems like an easier process to writing articles for sure, especially if you like talking like me! The program your using seems very comprehensive, I hope the price tag isn't too much, but I guess it would be worth it though. Still using the old fashioned way of writing articles, rearranging and sorting and writing from scratch. Nice video, thank you!

Wow, simply amazing!

This tool is ridiculously cool and useful!
Thank you very much for sharing it is deeply appreciated!

Here's a quote from Russell Brunson (Not the exact words):
The worse the article is the better, you do not want people to focus on how talented of a writer you are (except if your a copywriter) ... you want to focus on only conveying the message and getting the click.

Here's some quick tips to writing & structuring a good converting article:

#1. Keyword Research:
Be realistic and go for a targeted keywords related to your niche
and write them down and make an article for each. To get good
keywords use free tools such as GOOGLE KEYWORD or SEO BOOK KEYWORD TOOLS for research.

#2. Write an Article - Keep the article between 350-500 words.

#3. Steps to Structuring a Good Article:
1- What is it? (Explain what the offer or service is)
2- How did you learn about it?
3- How will it make their life better?
4- Where can they get it?

#4. Keywords, Keywords, Keywords:
1- Focus on 1 keyword per-article.
2- Keyword must be in title. (Preferably last word of the title)
3- Mention the KEYWORD 2-3 times per 100 words.
4- Keyword MUST be the last word of the title.
(Example: I highly recommend XXXXXXXX)

#5. Submit the article to SEVERAL directories.

#6. Submit the article to SEVERAL Press Release directories.

...Ok, I can go on and on but this is enough for some great results...

These simple steps will ensure you get the traffic you want from your articles and matched up with the power of the "Dragon Natural Speaker 10"...I can only imagine the results it will produce!

Good Luck with all your online ventures! (Thanks again dude for sharing this powerful tool!)

I used to use Dragon until my main pc croaked out on me.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Vista comes with a great voice recognition program. My housemate has Singstar and I just use the microphones from that - they are much better than cheap headsets!

Thank you for this video. I'm glad to know how easy it is to use the software. Next line, next line...I love how you have to give instructions!

Great post Omar, it seems there is now an easier way to accomplish writing articles without even using your hands! If you're a irrepressibly chatty person like me it makes things much easier, I'm just wondering how much the software is? I'm sure it would be worth price, but do I need any additional tools to go with it? Thanks for the tip mplatts, I'll have a look at vista's options though!

Nice post Omar! It seems there are continually easier ways to make articles and this is no exception. I guess it helps if you have a general idea and a summation of what you want to convey first before putting pen to paper, or should I say mouth to mike! Nice Post!

I tried to google for the best price for this software. There are so many versions and types ... which is the right one to get? And how much does it costs?

Can anyone point out exactly which version of DNS to get? I know it's DNS ver.10 but when I looked at the main website, there are a ton of DNS ver 10 and they are all different.

Please point out a link if you have one.

Thanks

Dragon is definitely a great piece of software. Of course you have to play with it at first to get the full functionality. Over time it adapts to your speaking style

I also have and use DNS 10. Fine program, in my opinion. However, in order to use it efficiently, it is necessary to use the training material to properly "train" it to your speech. I will mention, as well, that DNS also works for on the fly with WordPress blog posts. That is, DNS will function with your WP word processer. However, in my experience, DNS can also be slow. I run XP with 2 gigs of memory, and I find that sometimes its easier for me to type out my blog post or article than try to speak it out.

Hey Omar,

Great preview of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I've personally used the preferred version as well.

One warning for those who plans to purchase this cool software: It takes some time to train the program to recognize your voice. So you've got to be patient.


My 2 cents,
Dominic Tay

Yeah I just got my copy of DNS and like some other posts here I think I type faster than I speak but I believe that if I use it enough times I'll have no problem laying out articles while relaxed in my chair So I recommend it

And yeah, the software needs time to recognize your speech pattern, but after that it's all gravy baby XD

Where do you guys buy it? I've posted the question on the version to get. Would be great if someone could point it out to me. There seem to be so many different types on their website. THanks

Here's my 2 cents worth:

I tried to use DNS 10 but it won't work on vista. (32 bit)

So I tried using the speech recognition for Vista (it comes free with Vista) - I trained it up again and again - gave it several days but I got so frustrated, I nearly hurt my computer!

It could have been that I was typing a technical article, but boy oh boy, did I waste some hours.
