Publisher's summary
As writers, we all know what an incredible tool dictation software can be. It enables us to write faster and avoid the dangers of RSI and a sedentary lifestyle. But many of us give up on dictating when we find we can't get the accuracy we need to be truly productive.
This book changes all of that. With almost two decades of using Dragon software under his belt and a wealth of insider knowledge from within the dictation industry, Scott Baker will reveal how to supercharge your writing and achieve sky-high recognition accuracy from the moment you start using the software.

- Hidden tricks to use when installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a Windows PC or Dragon Dictate for Mac
- How to choose the right microphone and set it up perfectly for speech recognition
- The little-known techniques that will ensure around 99% accuracy from your first install - and how to make this even better over time
- Setting up fail-safe dictation profiles with multiple microphones and voice recorders, without impacting your accuracy
- How to train the software to adapt to both your voice and writing style and avoid your accuracy declining
- Strategies for achieving your entire daily word count in just one or two hours
- Many more tips and tricks you won't find anywhere else

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Exactly what I wanted to know
I've had two semi-disappointing runs at using dragon, but I can see how amazing it could be if I had it set up correctly. I realized my computer was too slow, frustrating to use, yet buzzed out 20,000 words of a potential book in a morning of talking. Now I know what hardware I need to get the program to work right, and have been given ideas for transcription options.

Great Technical View of Dragon Dictation
Great technical guide to Dragon dictation. As a beginner, I found his detailed evaluation of microphones to be invaluable. If you’re debating on whether to get the Mac or PC version, buy this book. Highly recommended!

I needed this!
This book really helped me to get on top of using Dragon to dictate my book. The software is great, but until you know HOW to set it up, you are wasting a lot of time and effort. Definitely worth the time and money to 'read' this book to get better at Dragon.
I would recommend you listen first, but also get the kindle book so you can get a good visual on where to click and where to find some of the options the author recommends. With Whispersync, it's a cheap addition to this version of the book.

Fantastic Insight
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is the perfect book for aspiring writers who also want to be prolific at what they do. Sure, there's a bit of a mind shift a writer needs to make when going from typing to dictation, and it's not quite the same as verbal storytelling, which is a different beast. I've already had two sessions and i'm already seeing my word count climb.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Writer's Guide to Training Your Dragon?
I saw the advantages of dictation programs for writing ages ago, Dragon being the one of the best on the market at the time, but it was horrible for accuracy. A couple of years back I bought Home edition 12, and though it was an improvement, it was still a nightmare to edit my drafts as paragraphs of text would come out as gibberish. I implemented the first couple of tricks right away: use a proper mic, the same one i used for professional video narration (garbage-in garbage-out) and reset my profile to ignore emails, on-board training, and uploaded my manuscripts. Instant change in the accuracy levels! I'm a huge fan! Now it's time to focus on getting that word count up and teach my brain how to tell the story verbally instead of through typing.
Have you listened to any of Scott Baker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No i have not. But i have heard him on podcasts and the tone he uses here is just as personal, one-on-one, as though he's talking directly to you and teaching you everything he knows about the program. Apart from a few accent related quirks that make me giggle, he spoke clearly and the recording was professional quality.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I enjoyed his story about tight deadlines and his drive to overcome physical issues. It's inspiring.
Any additional comments?
i'm so happy he gave me a reason to go back to Dragon. I'm planing to implement the dictaphone process at some point in the future, especially since i know i'll be spending a lot of time in the garden during the summer.
