Productivity Resources

Audible
Audible ? Audible provides audio books, podcasts, speeches, newspapers and periodicals available for download. I have subscribed to audible.com since 2000 and am hooked. I download books, podcasts and speeches to my iPod to listen to while I fly, put on makeup, relax before bed, clean the house, etc. Because I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, I appreciate resting my eyes and having books read to me. A companion product that I love are?SleepPhones, which have flat speakers embedded in a soft headband. These are?a terrific way to?listen to Audible while?laying down or in bed.???Vicki Wrona, PMP

Dragon Naturally Speaking
Dragon Naturally Speaking by Nuance ? Dragon accurately and quickly captures what you say, typing faster than you probably can. This allows your writing to have a natural quality since most people speak better than they write, all while saving your arms and wrists from injury and carpal tunnel syndrome.? As a time and productivity saver, it will also read to you with its text-to-speech capability, allowing you to either catch mistakes in your writing (like small missing words) or to have email or documents read to you while you clean your desk, file papers or do other tasks. ??Vicki Wrona, PMP
