Just now trying out dictation, but it's already unlocking my productivity... which wasn't exactly slacking before! But this is enabling me to reach my ambitious goals and still have a life with my quickly growing family. Thanks to Ms. Leonelle for writing this very helpful book!

What a great concept! This book gives DETAILS about how to dictate your writing most effectively. She even includes recommendations on software to use and some "best practices" to make it easier to start dictation. I learned a lot and have started practicing with a dictation app.

Good Book. Concise. I worry about the time I spend sitting typing and the impact on my health. Planning to purchase a Dragon on payday. I understand it will take some time to learn to use it, but the benefits especially for my health should outweigh the pain of learning something new.

I chose it because everything in the book was very helpful and concise. I recommend this to all those whom would like to know more about dictation, especially with Dragon. Thank you, Monica. Keep in touch.

Loved this short read! Very specific and practical tips on how to benefit from dictation to speed up the writing process. I highly recommend this book.
I am in the process of writing my first book and this little book boost my spirit to keep going!

Great tips on writing more efficiently and getting over the hurdle of learning new dictation technology. I am so tired of being in front of a screen and glad to find ways to prophecy my poor hands /wrists / arms from too much typing!

Great book, with useful tips on dictation with Dragon. I've been using Dragon off and on, Monica provides real life help for working through the beginning frustrations of the software. Making my day easier and my mind relaxed.

A useful, speedy read. Good advice on the type of mic to use, but would have liked more options depending on budget. Easy to read and helpful - has given me renewed willpower to master my own dragon and nail dictation of my writing

I agree that dictating is an efficient and effective way to write, but I don't like Dragon, which is what this book is all about. It slows me down. I use an old microcassette recorder and vintage dictaphone, eliminating the need to slow down and speak creativity-crushing punctuation, etc., while I'm dictating. With Dragon, I could do about eighty words a minute. With a standard dictaphone, I can do one-twenty to one-fifty words per minute. The book's overall point is valid, but Dragon required me to be at my computer. I can carry a microcassette dictaphone anywhere and get so much more done.
