Do your hands get tired of typing? Did you ever wish there was an easier way to network with your computer (like hocus pocus all the information is suddenly in my computer.) If the answer to this question is yes, read on.

This is actually not as difficult as you may think. With this new world of electronics networking together something might spring out at you to open your eyes to new ideas.

DIGITAL TAPE RECORDER:

The Digital Tape Recorder is now changing technology by leaps and bounds.

Example:

(1) If you are attending a meeting - during the meeting or at the end of the meeting you can dictate into your digital tape recorder.

(2) It completely eliminates writing notes.

(3) Next you can download your digital tape recorder into your computer by a cord. It works the same way as downloading your digital camera pictures into your computer.

(4) Your computer will now type out your transcription just like you were hand typing it. You will not have to sit for hours typing, typing and typing.

(5) You can write a manuscript by this method or any document that needs to be typed.

(6) When you purchase your digital tape recorder there is only one model that works with voice activated software. Make sure you ask the sales person for that model only.

Your Digital Tape Recorder is fast, efficient and easy to use. Try it. You might like it.

MICROPHONE:

Another method for voice activation is by using a good microphone. The microphone is the key to clear sound. You dictate directly into the microphone and the computer types along with your voice. You use the same software as described above.

AUDIO CD:

(1) The next step would be making an audio CD.

(2) This requires the use of audio software.

(3) With this method, you can use the digital tape recorder which is a little more complicated.

(4) The easiest method is a microphone directly attached to your computer.

(5) You will then have to edit the software so that the words flow together.

(6) Make sure the sales people will help you understand how all this electronic equipment works and works together.

(7) You might have to find an electronic person to help you privately set up and train you in your new technology. Believe me it will be well worth it. Education is the key to progress.
