Download Software for Transcription

As I mentioned early on in this transcribing series, you need an audio or a video file to use in your transcribing software. The last time we visited, I discussed text expander software with you. This week, I'll talk about free and inexpensive download software for transcription. However, you may find that all of this is useful for personal reasons as well. So, let's get started!

YouTube Dowload Software

Ummy is one of my go-to YouTube downloaders. They allow you to download a trial version to check it out before buying. If you like it, it costs $39.99 for a lifetime license. So, no annual renewal fees! Download YouTube videos and music in multiple formats so you’ll be ready to transcribe as soon as the download is complete. It’s very easy to use too! According to their blog, this also works for Rutube.ru and Dailymotion.

I also use 4KVideo Downloader. It’s easy to use as well. They offer a free version that allows you to download 1 file at a time and up to 30 files per day. That’s pretty generous and allows more than I would ever need to use it for. The paid versions allow multiple downloads, which differs depending on which upgrade you buy. With the paid versions, you also get unlimited downloads per day. This is also a one-time purchase of the version you choose, so there are, again, no annual subscription fees to pay.

4K Download Software for Transcription

Free YouTube Download appears to be a very popular one. They claim to download lightning fast along with other quality features. All free! So, this one that might be worth trying.

If you search for “free YouTube downloader”, you’ll find several of these types of programs - simply too many to list here.

Multi-Site Download Software

Freemake has the capability to download from all the top sites including YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Flickr, Dailymotion and many more. It’s free! I’ve never used Freemake for this purpose, but it will suit many download needs.

Online Video Downloader, on the other hand, doesn’t require you to install a program on your computer. Just paste the link where prompted and download your file. They claim you can download from hundreds of locations.

Keepvid is another one that doesn’t require a program install on your pc. And again, they claim that you can download from hundreds of sites.

Search for “online video downloader” or “video downloader” to find more of these types of downloaders.

A Word of Caution

Just be sure you trust the sites you’re downloading from or installing download software for transcription from. You don’t want to infect your computer, phone, tablet, etc. Do some extra research if necessary to make sure you’re protecting your expensive investments.

Transcribe Like a Pro

If you’re enjoying these work-from-home and professional transcription posts, you might also enjoy my book, Transcribe Like a Pro: Making Money from Home. I wrote it to pair with these posts. It includes information that I think is helpful for new to seasoned transcribers. It’s available on Amazon in digital format for $9.99 (or free if you have Kindle Unlimited) and in paperback for $14.99.

In the book, I explain what types of people are looking for transcriptionists and where to find work. I’ve provided a list of vocabulary most commonly used as well as checklists for each criteria discussed in the book.

After reading the book, I would very much love for you to leave an Amazon review. I’m trying to help as many people as possible break into this business. Because as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, the need for transcriptionists is on the rise. And I think this is a great way to help others who are seeking work amidst a long pandemic recovery. The more reviews, the easier it will be for others to find the book. My hope is that you will find it praiseworthy.

If you know a woman who is looking for work, needs a second income, or just wants some extra spending cash, send them to this site or buy them Transcribe Like a Pro: Making Money from Home as a gift.

More work-from-home posts are on the way. So, continue to check back frequently. Better yet, make sure you don’t miss a thing by signing up on the right side of the page to receive my newsletters. Have a blessed day and stay safe.

Buying and Care Tips for Outdoor Plants

These first  2 tips came to mind when I was buying 4 new outdoor deck plants this past week at Lowe's. First of all, at least at the Lowe's I visited, all of their hanging basket flowers were badly wilted and turning brown. I'll have to say, that was a first. All of their plants usually look amazing. I'm not sure if it's because of all the local rainfall, and maybe they haven't been watering them regularly, and that was why they looked so shabby. Because typically, someone would be watering the flowers at about the time we arrived; always have been in the past, and no one was doing that on the day we visited earlier this week. Or maybe they've let Mother Nature overwater them. I don't know. Regardless of the reason, I passed on buying hanging basket flowers. I'm the type of person who really needs to start with healthy flowers. Therefore, I brought home 4 in regular pots, because they all looked healthy. So, my first tip is to pay attention to the

Worry is Waste

How many moments do we waste worrying about things we aren't able to control? I know I've had my fair share of moments like that. I won't say that I never worry anymore. Human nature is to worry. But I worry much less these days, because I trust God to take care of all my needs and problems. According to my NLT study Bible, worrying leads to immobilization, but concern leads us to action. I like that they have shown me the difference between worry and concern. Let's, now, read today's Scripture about the impacts of worry and the effects of trusting God from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 6:25-34 says, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your

Being God's Ambassador: Meditation 4

Let's prepare to meditate . Start playing your relaxing sounds/music on another device if you like accompaniment with meditation. With your tissues and water beside you, get in a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes if you'd like. Now, relax your entire body, starting with your forehead, between your eyebrows, your jaws, your neck and shoulders, your arms and legs. Feel the tension release as you relax. Allow the stomach and shoulders to naturally rise and fall as you slowly breathe in and breathe out. Today's meditation affirmation is "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador." Let's repeat this affirmation to ourselves as we concentrate on our breathing for a few moments.  Continue your slow, concentrated breathing as I guide you through today's meditation. Listen to Meditation 4 . In Genesis 1:26 NLT (New Living Translation), God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” God made u
