My fingers fly across the page at 90wpm, lol; I learned typing in high school so it definitely helped. And yes, children are a joy but take a lot of time, whether it’s requests for play, being the mediator between sibling arguments, making snacks in-between meals, being their chauffeur to sports classes/events/friends, planning birthday parties/hosting them, and bedtime routines, among other parenting duties, lol! Time writing/reading is between cleaning up the kitchen/living room after bedtime and when you decide you can’t keep your eyelids open any longer! Now that my children are all grown up, I have the luxury of a little more time for reading and writing, with family duties still to do but taking up less time. ⏰✍🏻🤓

Yes, I think I'll bring my laptop everywhere when I'll have to chauffeur my son around.

I will try audiopen.ai! I really like dictating my ideas but find that on the last app that J tried, I spent so much time correcting the transcript that it was easier to just use the keyboard in the first place. Thanks for the ideas!

I particularly like your 2nd tip on using a speech to text app. I frequently used this technique a few months ago and it did speed up the process of creating my articles.

Good tips, Alberto.

Thanks. With AI it become so much more convenient.

You don’t need to dictate punctuation anymore.

I always wanted to try voice to text for my writing but I feel awkward. I feel weird dictating the story out in a manner using vice

Then don't let this fear limit you. Try with some short text.

Hi Alberto, that is a good suggestion to use voice. I had to do this due to a hand injury a few months ago. Voice works well, most of the time but some of the voice typos are funny. If one does try it, make sure you have a good mic and talk clearly. This will minimize voice typos.

True for some.

Since having a child, I remained with nothing left to cut, though 😊
