The Amazon site places the silver model within the Multipurpose Dynamic Microphones category, but the Blue Yeti site suggests that it’s in fact a condenser model. You may not favor the USB option if you want to use the Yeti in the field-which, however, could be a problem because of the mike’s size (ten inches high). It’s Nuanced certified and the company awarded it a score of six Dragons for accuracy, better than any other.Ī related item on the Nuance site offers this advice for Yeti owners: “The gain knob on the device should be turned all the way up and the cardioid pattern (3rd from the left on the switch) should be selected.” The latter is too pricey for me, at about $230, so I’m going with the Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone – Blackout Edition, which Amazon is now selling for $113, or around $16 cheaper than the silver model [ update: both are now $129). For the very best results, she says, buy a dynamic microphone like the RODE Podcaster. Author Monica Leonelle (personal Web site here) says she has achieved 98 percent accuracy and has doubled her peak writing speed from 2,000 to 4,000 words an hour. I’ve been using headsets, but if you’re at your desk, Leonelle recommends a podcast-quality microphone such as the Audio Technica’s AT2020 or the Blue Yeti. It’s 252 pages long and costs $5 for the Kindle and $10 in paperback.īut here I’ll focus on Dictate Your Book.
AUDIO HIJACK DICTATE TO TEXT HOW TO
To the rescue, let’s hope, comes Dictate Your Book: How to Write Your Book Faster, Better and Smarter (59 pages and $3 in the Kindle edition and free as a Kindle Unlimited loaner).įor more detailed guidance for dictators-um, not the Putin type, please-a good choice might be The Productive Author’s Guide to Dictation: Speak Your Way to Higher (and Healthier!) Word Counts (The Productive Author’s Guide to Writing Book 1) by Cindy Grigg. I use it, sure, and I’ve done what I could to train my Dragon, but the accuracy is still not good enough despite the claims of Nuance, the maker of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Premium. Speech recognition for non-email purposes has been a mixed bag for me.
