Trying out dictation in OneNote

I have been trying my hand at dictation. Ironically I am writing this old-fashion way. At my desk, in a chair, typing away on my computer.
Like many writers I struggle at times to get the words out. And during the summer it is very hard for this teacher by day to sit in his home office with the warm sun out.
After reading several books on the subject, I discovered that Microsoft Onenote takes dictation. There many different apps and software designed for this one called Dragon seems to be well known. But OneNote has been working for me. So if you subscribe to Microsoft Cloud you should be able to use this.
I gave it a try, and lo and behold for the most part it worked. Taking my words and turning them into correctly formatted sentences. I mean it certainly isn’t a 100% correct. But then again, neither is my typing on the first go around.
In my experiments this summer as I work on Number Investigators 5, I discovered I could dictate about 600 words, or 2 to two and half manuscript pages in a mile and a quarter walk around my neighborhood. Unfortunately in the last week we have been under a heat advisory so, no walking.
And in this day in age being seen walking around talking to my phone, is certainly not a crazy thing.
So my work flow is to dictate a page, and then copy those words into Scrivner, the app I use in writing my manuscripts.
Kevin Anderson who has written over a 175 novels, several in the Star Wars and Dune universes is a huge advocate of dictating his novels. It certainly seems to have helped him be more prolific.
So if you’re someone who wants to write buts gets stuck when sitting in front of your laptop or computer, maybe just try talking into your phone.
