Okay folks...I'm finally biting the bullet, so to speak, and purchasing Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred. TigerDirect.com has it on sale for $$99.99 which is $100 off the normal price. I'm *sure* that means version 11 must be able to ship but a…
I got a Heil PR-40 from Cliff. Ordered on Monday and arrived on Wednesday! Thanks Cliff! Steven, I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 and I like it a lot if you're just looking for web cams. It has an amazingly good Carl Zeiss lens.
Hey Bobby,
I was just wondering if you were able to knock our the DC hum? I was able to do it on my laptop by plugging it into an extension cord that had the "ground" prong broken off. (I'm NOT TELLING FOLKS TO DO THIS...it "could" mess up your equ…
A laptop plugged in can cause the DC hum you're talking about. You'll need to try some of the methods you likely found when you googled the issue and find one that works for your laptop setup. You'll want to do that before you record because it's al…
Thanks for the input, Cliff. I haven't bitten the bullet and purchased the software yet but I might just do that so I can report on it. I was hoping to find someone that already has Dragon to see if they'd run a test for me/us but nothing yet.
I do…
Allan,
I'm so sorry that I'm so late to the game here. I've just found out, this week, that I had not been betting email notifications of messages posted here in the group. It tuns out that I'm not the only person this has happened to.
As for tran…
Hmm...I see what you're talking about. Cliff's artwork doesn't show up for me for Podcast Answer Man and About the Church but it does for Social Media Serenity?
I'm betting this is an iTunes thing....perhaps not something that is set corectly?
I guess not too many of us have tried to use software for transcribing our podcasts since only two folks have replied...that or the holidays have folks away from their computer.
I'm close to purchasing Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred in order…
Actually, I'm thinking of doing a book that contains the content of my podcast. I believe I could basically take each episode of the podcast and make that into a chapter of a book adding photos and other items related to the "topic" of that "chapter…
Obviously having transcripts help with SEO in providing search engines with indexable content full of important key words and phrases.
I don't know of a software package because I haven't looked into this angle. I approach this issue the other way…
HI Allan,
Having produced a number of TV shows over the years, I too have searched for a reliable transcription method for closed captioning. I have ask other production facilities, and even tested a few software based options. I keep coming back t…
What is the best/least expensive method to transcribe podcast episodes?
I'm looking at Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred as it looks like it *might* work but in searching around the web I've not found a really good answer as to how well it will…
I have used Skype to do several interviews lasting more than an hour (the phone call, not my podcast) and I've never had any trouble.
That said, I have had connections that become....digital....Cylon like in the connection. That is rare and a quick…
Mix-minus using a mixer is certainly the way to go as far as easy and cheap. Cliff already provided all you need to know and I used exactly that to record the interviews I've been doing on my podcast.
An example is Two Chairs No Waiting 55: Rodney…
