2024 Novelist NaNoWriMo – Day 11

November 11th

Getting tired of writing? Have thoughts in your head but your hands are too tired?

Try dictation! Dictation is where you speak and the words write themselves. It can be tricky as you have to speak slow enough for the computer program (or person) to catch your words and change it into text.

Several writing documents already have a dictation option. PC version of MS Word, Pages on Mac, and even Google Docs. Look up how to enable it and start talking.

Finish!

Page 4 complete. Go on to Day 12.

Want an Example?

There are three of us at The Badge Archive. Two of us like dictation. One of us wouldn’t be able to write without it. The third doesn’t like dictation at all. She types faster than people speak. It makes her excellent at taking dictation for the other two when the computers move too slow for them.
