One of the biggest challenges that you or anyone who is a content creator or business owner is to come up with content quickly, easily, and effectively. it is very tough when you’re staring at a blank screen the cursor flashing and blinking at you. That is one of the reasons, why I recommend all my clients to perform their content.

Here’s how it works. 

I would typically set up a camera or go on to zoom call all by myself and record all the content that is swimming around in my head onto the video. My reasoning for this it was simple. We have been communicating effectively by voice since we were babies. How did we tell our parents we were hungry; how did we tell him that we had a dirty diaper that needed changing? 

We screamed our bloody heads off. 

As we got older we discovered how to communicate more effectively. We discovered that it was easy to pass our ideas from our brains to our mouths to the public in general. We are able to relate stories, tell jokes, express our emotions, and use our voice and our communication skills to inspire others into action.

When my co-author and I wrote a book together in 2014 we were able to collaborate even though we are in two different countries and two different time zones by recording our sessions

When completed, the recorded session was then sent out for transcription. That transcript was then cleaned up, edited, and compiled to become our book. That is how we went from an idea to becoming the number one best-selling authors in four countries in less than 60 days.

Google Docs now allows you to skip a step in the process. We’ve had dictation for years. Early in my business, I had Dragon Naturally Speaking. It required a lot of groundwork to train. It made for some hilarious final editing. So much so we gave up using it. Apple has a switch for keyboards where you can turn on dictation as a keyboard. Windows also offer dictation on the operating system and you do have talk-to-text speech with Microsoft Word.

Google takes voice to a whole new level inside Google Docs. To activate this tool you go and click on Tools in the top toolbar. In the drop-down list, you’ll see voice. Click on voice, activate the microphone, and allow the microphone to be used end start performing your first blog post.

 

How effective is this tool? 

Well, I decided a few minutes ago it was time to test this out this is the very very first time. Content I created using my voice to write or type a blog post for my blog took me all of about 5 minutes to talk this out, get my thoughts down and share with you.

Is it perfect? 

Not by a Longshot I still have some editing to do but unlike other dictation tools I can edit without shutting off the speech I can clean things up on the fly or I can wait till I’m done and do the final edit.

So if you find yourself staring at a blank screen, and you want to punch your fist through the blinking cursor for taunting you for your writer’s block I would like to make this suggestion. Stop writing and start talking. Perform your content. I have always stated that there is always been a disconnect between the brain and the hand called writer’s block. However, there is no disconnect between the brain and the mouth. Of course, that lack of disconnect often and gets us into trouble, but that’s the subject of a different blog post. 

So you’re looking for a quick easy way to create content on the fly I’m going to suggest you take a look at Google Docs and activate the voice tool under Tools and see for yourself if this makes your life quicker and easier when creating content on the fly.
