Quick Content Strategy:
Speed up content creation with dictation
Use dictation software (speech to text) to transcribe your speech into text. Using dictation software can be a great time saver especially if you're a slow typist. It's also great for people who have RSI.
If you can talk faster than you can type, consider dictating your content. Many people report that they can produce work much faster when dictating than they can using a keyboard. You can use this method to write blog posts, articles, email and even Twitter tweets.
For initial content generation, using dictation software is faster than typing for most people. It is a good way to get a draft. You can still use the keyboard to edit and polish your writing.
