Speech to Text

By Mary O'Mally 

It seems like speech to text software is now coming of age. What I mean by that is that it's not exactly a new idea. Although it is newly on the market as something more and more people want to use.

If you've ever been a Star Trek fan you might remember in 1986 version of Star Trek IV where Scotty sits down at a desk and says "computer"! - But nothing happens. Then he picks up the mouse and starts to talk into it like a phone; again nothing happens. So somebody suggests that he just use the keyboard to which he scoffed and mumbled something about it being archaic. But it seems like a lot of things on Star Trek have actually come to fruition.

For example, we now have doors that open and close as soon as you get close to them. These are most often found in grocery stores are department stores. If you look around I'm sure you will discover a lot of things that seem commonplace - but when you were a kid watching Star Trek they may have just seemed cool and futuristic.

But now we have speech to text software that is actually about 97% accurate. I use it daily for all of my article writing. And although I still type out my e-mail messages, I may have to add that into one of the things I can use the software for. It's just not as automatic for me yet.

The software is actually more than just a helpful typing aid. The command system in the advanced speech to text software will open the Internet, search, browse, and find things for you and all you have to do is give the proper commands. It's really not hard to learn - there is about a 5 minute tutorial you'll go through at the very beginning that will help you learn commands as well as help the software become familiar with your voice.

But again it doesn't stop there. As you use the software it updates itself to your way of speaking each time you use it. It also has a nice function where you can set an accent. Therefore if you have a Canadian accent you check that command, and that will better help the software understand your speaking.
It really is actually MORE high-tech than what you might have seen on the Star Trek film. That's reasonable though since that was a look into the faraway future, and now that future is our present day.

Visit www.SpeechtoTextReview.com and find out where you can get the least expensive Speech to Text Software. You can review the options you will get and compare different versions to find the one that is right for you.

How to sign up for adsense

By Helen Reimer 

Google AdSense is a great affiliate program to help you make money fast online. This is a pay-per-click program where you get paid every time someone clicks on one of your ads. How much you get paid depends on how much the advertiser has agreed on to pay Google for each click. Google simply shares a cut with you because you are the one hosting the ad on your website.

So really, it is a win-win situation for all, making this one of the best affiliate programs online. Anyone can sign up for Google AdSense, but Google is a little picky on who they allow into their program. They will go over each application manually, check out your website, and depending on whether or not they like your website, they will either approve or deny your website.

Google does not like spam sites, or sites with no content. So before you even think about applying you should take the time to read over the rules and regulations, and then adjust your website to those rules.
One of the most important things to do before applying for AdSense is to create some valuable content on your website. Your content should be well written and beneficial to the user.

One thing I have learned is that Google loves webmasters and bloggers, but above them, they place their users. When someone comes to Google looking for information, Google wants to send them to great websites, and if your website it not what Google considers to be great, then you won't get very far.

Google does not want to be associated with anyone who is not there help others in one way or another. So it is very important that the content you provide is going to be valuable content for others.

Your content should be focused and written around several main keywords to get started. This helps Google figure out what kind of ads to place on your site for optimum results.

Then once you have read the terms of services, and created content that is valuable to others you can sign up for it. To sign up, simply search the term "Google AdSense" and you will be taken to a page where you can apply. Please be patient as it will take them several days to go over your information and approve you.
Once you are approved, make sure to continue to comply with all of their rules, or else you could get suspended for the program for life. You do not want that to happen.
