Tips On How To Improve Your Writing Skills
Right now some of us feel like we are in a pressure cooker with all the content that needs to be created and making 1500 word posts is quite daunting if you need to improve your writing skills first!
I know I've been struggling with this and so want to share with you what I have been doing.
Firstly, I took all the information coming from members at WA to help with writing content fast and came up with another idea - making typing fun!
I came across a Typing Tutorial add-on for Google Chrome that is quite amazing because you can choose the typing platform that is best suited to your needs.
Typing Club is an add-on that can be easily installed and once you start you won't want to stop - I did 50 lessons on the first day and reached between 50-60 words per minute with 100% accuracy!
Granted, I've been typing for a long time, but my goal is to reach over 100 words per minute! Kyle has given us incentives to have such unrealistic goals that we over achieve what we would've normally set our goals for. So I know you can achieve your goals too in your content writing skills.
Secondly, I looked at all the Speech Recognition recommendations and a lot of them rely on the internet a lot and are limited in their functionality with other programs .
My best choice is Windows Speech Recognition as it's free and you can train it to recognize your voice. You can also use it offline as it is not dependent on the internet.
These are just two tips I would like to leave with you to help improve your writing skills quickly for your website content.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any assistance.

Edu

Interesting. Does speech recognition tools pick up background sounds also?
Tried and true

I will have to check this for you. But just off the cuff, I believe there may be a setting that can minimize this.
How about links to both. I search for them and don't nail down the ones you mention. There's a sea of this out there! Thanks

Google docs speech is superb put on my phone it did around six hundred words 10 mins simply save to docs then copy and paste seemed very accurate just playing around at min as cant spend all time needed to build content so need some assistance not happening trying to many balls in the air and kèeping full time job down hope i get to stage where only work i do is blogging but at moment have to get help and google seems ok will know more after weekend aim to blast some content out using my new found assistant
I agree that within Google Docs it works, but what if you want to record the words in SiteContent directly?
Thanks for the tips Edu! I've used a couple of the speech recogntion programs others recommended but as you noted, they are limited. I will check out the Windows Speech Recognition you suggested!
