New Year’s Resolution – Write More Blog Posts

Matthew O'Brien

Following up on my blog post on “How to create a blog post with Google Voice and more out of frustration with the poor voice recognition on Google Voice, I added another component, thanks to a recommendation from Andrew Greess (Qspray.com), called Vlingo. This is a better voice recognition service. I am using this service for my Blackberry and this is the ultimate in a time-saving tool that is essential for Blackberry users for voice commands and dictating memos, emails, for calling people and voice recognition for browsing on the web and it is ideal with Bluetooth devices (testing the quality with this post…we will see).

However, I did want to be able to use the Google Voice to add audio files to blog posts so I start with dictation to Vlingo, clean it up and then create a Google voice file to create the lazy option on blog posts for those that just want images and listen vs. reading the text. (Note, also testing Bluetooth with Google Voice…let me know what you think). So this technology tandem should help increase blog posting frequency and hopefully quality as well. Let’s see how long I can keep this New Year’s resolution going.
