Use Dictation Software to Transcribe your Podcast or Video

April 1, 2010 By Linda Sherman 6 Comments

My husband, Ray Gordon, is currently using Dragon technology based Mac Speech Dictate for his work because his accident injured his hand.  

It works very well but as with any dictation tool, it still requires some touch up.

I originally wrote this post to let you know about an offer someone was making to transcribe your podcast for $5 – regardless of length.

Unfortunately, she has withdrawn that offer.

It is still worth exploring transcribing your podcast or video with dictation software.  This is advantageous for search.

If you find a service that does inexpensive transcription, overseas or otherwise, please let me know.

    Hi Linda,Nope, I’m actually doing it by hand! That’s the value proposition… no editing after speech recognition software muffles it up!I may do videos if the podcasts go well. That would be another gig posted though 🙂

    @TrishaLyn it is certainly a great service you are providing $5/podcast transcript. I’m sure you type faster than me.

    <font color="#663366"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Roughly 85-90 WPM.  There's an upside of this too… I may get introduced to some awesome new podcasts I didn't know existed!

    @catchmikey Actually, MacSpeech Dictate is amazingly easy to use. It takes about 10 minutes to train the system to understand my normal speech pattern. And I’ve found that it is about 98% accurate so far. I find it actually much faster than typing, because it uses my normal speech patterns and speed. (By the way,this entire comment was dictated using MacSpeech Dictate.)

    Whoops. Just went to Trisha’s Fiverr site to show a client her offer and the transcription service is no longer listed there. I have sent her an email requesting an info update.

    Hi Linda,Yeah, I was getting too many requests that were far too long, and considering I wasn’t using dictation software it was too much work to do. I do have a full time job as well lol
