My experience...
Hi Millard,
While I haven't done this with whole books or ebooks, I've experimented with dictating whole articles, and having them transcribed... (Many writers in the "old days" used a similar technique. Sidney Sheldon used to dictate all his scripts and books to a secretary, who transcribed what he said...) I recorded my dictation, then had it transcribed with Sonix.ai or Otter.ai from the recording (I tried and liked both)... I had to make some corrections where there were transcription errors, but there weren't too many... The only thing that "bothered" me is my speaking style seems to be different from my writing style! So I felt I had to do more "editing" with the dictation method to get the final result how I wanted it to be... However, on the plus side, I think there were fewer problems with "writer's block"... For some reason, I am more likely to suffer from that when I physically write... I think, for me, the first draft is easier to "write" when I dictate. But later on, there was more editing required... Best wishes, Dien Quote:
