Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Do you find typing difficult, laborious or that it seems to take you forever?
Do your thoughts come quicker than your fingers can type?
Do you needed a time saving way he to help you accomplish written tasks?
If you said yes to any of these questions, a speech recognition program might be just what you are looking for, and it might be readily available. You just don't know it. Within the Windows software there is a speech recognition option that I use of regularly.
It helps me:
- Create my content
- Comment on other websites
- Create posts and feedback within the WA platform
- Answer Email and private messages
I know it has the capability to do many other things as well, just by using verbal commands. I haven't learned the extent of all that the speech recognition commands offer, but just using it to create content has been a remarkable time saver.

WARNING: And I can't stress this enough! You should always monitor the words being typed or proofread your content before posting anything that is generated by a speech recognition program. You risk odd words splashed within your content, which will make it difficult, if not impossible for readers to make sense of.
Have a Great Day and I hope you can enjoy a little more time on your hands with one of these programs.
