Speak Your Blog into Existence: The Power of Voice-to-Text
I will never be one of those people who make fun of technology to make themselves feel superior.
The more you embrace technology, the better your content will become.
That’s why, instead of writing today’s blog, I’m speaking it into existence.
All I did was press Windows + H on my laptop, and now I’m creating today’s talk by simply speaking.
This seamless process reduces the time I spend on content creation.
I no longer have to worry about fixing spelling mistakes manually.
If needed, I can even use ChatGPT to proofread it for me.
In this blog, I’ll explain why I work this way and how my writing process has evolved over time.
My Old Blog Writing Process
I used to write blogs strictly by typing.
My strategy was unique…
I separated the creation process from the editing process.
Here’s how it worked:
- Creation Phase: I would write whatever was on my mind as fast as possible, without worrying about grammar, punctuation, or spelling. The main goal was to transfer my ideas from Point A (my mind) to Point B (the Microsoft document). This strategy resulted in many typos, misspellings, and poor punctuation, but I kept going regardless.
- Editing Phase: Once the rough draft was complete, I would start editing. The first step was fixing all the spelling mistakes. I would go through all the red underlines, correcting each word manually. Once those errors were gone, I could finally begin proofreading. This meant reading the content multiple times until all the kinks melted away.
Writing a single blog post using this method took well over an hour.
How Technology Changed My Writing Process
When I started leveraging technology, my workflow improved a lot.
Here’s what changed:
- I still typed, but instead of manually fixing every spelling mistake, I would paste my rough draft into ChatGPT and ask it to proofread my work. ChatGPT’s intelligent algorithms would fix misspellings and grammatical errors effortlessly.
- I began using the voice-to-text feature to dictate my ideas instead of typing them. Once I finished speaking, I would ask ChatGPT to format my text into a structured blog with headings, paragraphs, and proper punctuation.
This shift made content creation feel effortless.
I was still getting my ideas out there, but without the hassle.
Who Can Benefit from Voice-to-Text?
- People Who Hate Writing
If you struggle with writing or have limiting beliefs about it, try speaking instead. Using the voice-to-text feature is equivalent to writing because both processes turn your thoughts into words. This simple trick can help you develop confidence in your writing abilities.
- Busy Professionals
If you have a packed schedule, speaking is often faster than writing. Instead of eliminating writing from your routine altogether, use voice-to-text. It will save time while still allowing you to share your thoughts effectively.
- Content Creators Looking for a New Routine
Every content creator experiences burnout at some point. Sometimes, you don’t need a break…you just need a fresh routine. If you’re used to typing, switching to voice-to-text can provide that change while keeping your creative juices flowing.
Embrace Technology Without Losing Your Art
Some artists look down on technology, which I think is a mistake.
Technology is meant to be our servant, not our enemy.
The key is to find ways to integrate it into your creative process without stripping your art of its soul.
When used correctly, technology can make you a better writer, speaker, and creator.
The secret is to embrace innovation and experiment with different tools to see what works best for you.
