Awesome! It's such a cool concept, I would love to see it come to life on any screen, big or small.

I'm glad it helped. It gets even better because after a while Kobo shows all of your goodreads star ratings right up at the top of the page next to your book.

The claims I make sound incredible, but it is absolutely true. Of course, it assumes I have a good bullet point outline. I could never get those numbers if I was pantsing!

I do occasionally use Dragon for Mac. It's actually pretty decent, except when it doesn't recognize all my crazy science fiction/fantasy character names. You can train it, but it takes focussed effort to do it. The big reason for a human transcriptionist is that they can do punctuation, paragraph breaks. With Dragon you have to say the punctuation you want. That said, I was speaking to Rebecca Moesta (who dictates in part for ergonomic issues) about this, and she dictates punctuation even when it goes to a transcriptionist. I'll also say that I've found significantly cheaper transcription sites than the one I mentioned in the post.

Sorry for coming to this very late. The main reason I don't recommend typing your own transcriptions is because you will almost certainly start editing instead of transcribing. This slows the whole process down. Many people get distracted by their own voice and start getting judgmental about the quality of the dictation. From a productivity standpoint, you obviously save a bunch of time if you aren't the one doing the typing.

I'm loving newsjunk. I read it in google reader, but the entries don't show the source of the stories like the main newsjunk web page does. It would be a great addition to the feed if it's possible. Best
