Have you ever thought about how to make an Audiobook into an eBook? This may seem a bit backwards to you. You may be thinking that first you create the script and then record it. In this article, I'm going to discuss how you could create a new product by reversing the steps.
It's true. Most people would write their eBook first, and then record it. In other words, they would make their eBook before they'd create their audiobook.
But, some people don't need to write out an entire eBook or script in order to make a recording. They simply jot down a few notes and maybe the main points for what they want to cover, push record, and then start talking. For them a three hour product would take about three hours to produce.
But suppose that they now want to create a new product that consists of text only.Creating a transcript can be quite time-consuming, even for someone who does it on a regular basis, and unless you enjoy doing that sort of thing, can be rather boring.
Why would anyone want to create a document (a lower value product) from a recording (a higher value product)? Answer? Because that new product could be used to entice prospects to sign up in order to get it for free.
In other words, a written product, such as an eBook, could be a cheap or even free means for a prospect to obtain valuable information all for the price of an email. And there wouldn't have to be anything special about the transcript. It would simply be a printed version of the audio recording they just made.
What is the simplest way to create an eBook from an audio recording. Answer? Subcontract someone to transcribe the recording. There are numerous people who will do this for you, and you can find them on Craigslist, Elance, or anyone of a number of other directories where people offer their services. Of course, prices vary, and a recommendation is preferable to a shot in the dark.
You'll need to allow some lead time for this, anything from a few days to a week or so. The best transcribers usually have a backlog to clear up.
Another way is to use voice recognition software. Dragon Naturally Speaking is probably the industry standard. A good place to look for something that's less expensive is on SourceForge or CNET. Both of these sites will tell you how many people have downloaded the software.
