When most people think about writing articles or books on a computer they automatically picture a keyboard. For a few gifted individuals, a keyboard is simply an extension of their hands, with their fingers acting as an information faucet pouring out words naturally and effortlessly. But for most people those 104 keys represent 104 opportunities to foul up.

The average speaking rate is an astounding 150 to 200 words per minute.

A hunt-and-peck artist blasts out about 27 words per minute. Even a wizard typist probably averages only 80 to 90 words per minute. So, even if you are a great typist you can write in less time by creating information products 2-3 times faster with your voice instead of your flying fingers.

Voice-activated software has greatly improved over the past few years with more product choices and much greater accuracy. Although you must spend a few minutes training the software to recognize your voice and endure a brief slowdown while you learn the program commands, the result is well worth the time spent. Not only is speaking faster, but the software spells perfectly. You can use voice-activated software at your desk using your computer microphone or by speaking into a digital recorder and uploading the file for your program to transcribe.

Not only is speaking faster, but the software spells perfectly.

The second solution for keyboard woes is to hire a transcription service. Formerly reserved for medical records, transcription is now readily available for as little as a penny a word. Turnaround time is three to seven days. This means that digital recordings of teaching sessions, speeches, teleseminars, and personal interviews can be transcribed and converted into articles, blog posts, e-books, e-guides, and even books at the speed of sound.
