Good news: writing is more than ink. This revelation opens up a whole new avenue to writing. If speaking is writing, you’re writing all day!
The bad news is that, as of yet, we don’t have ever-present AI robots following us around, recording everything we do and say. Or maybe we do, but only governments have them. Or maybe when we do, it won’t actually be a good thing. Who knows? I don’t know. Whatever you think of it, in a short time, it will be the case that every phone and video chat tool will have automatic transcription facilities.
Until then, the onus is on you, the budding Hostwriter, to come up with a Recording Set-Up that Works For You™. Recording your conversations is a very good investment. You’ll say things that you’ll want to tweet and blog, regurgitate and reiterate.
Here are some possible tools to look into:
Descript | All-in-one video editing, as easy as a doc.
Otter.ai - Voice Meeting Notes & Real-time Transcription
Transcribe Speech to Text | Rev
