it's 2025 and if you're still using your
0:02
keyboard to type emails write blog posts
0:05
and text based communication you are not
0:08
being productive enough to be productive
0:09
you need to do stuff as fast as possible
0:12
keeping the same kind of accuracy so in
0:15
this video I'm going to show you how you
0:17
can replace your keyboard and actually
0:20
use your voice to write on your computer
0:23
you don't have to be articulative to
0:25
actually use your voice to convert it
0:28
into text because AI is going to help
0:30
you and improve your writing drastically
0:33
if you are on a Mac the dictation
0:35
feature on Mac computer is quite
0:38
accurate because now apple is
0:40
incorporating the AI into their native
0:43
applications as well so if you have to
0:45
write anything you can simply start
0:48
dictation on your Mac computer and you
0:50
are good to go but sometimes you need
0:52
things a little polished and for that
0:54
you can use third party tools one tool
0:57
is flow AI which has been featured on
1:00
product hunt you can download and
1:02
install it once installed you can start
1:05
talking into it and it will convert your
1:07
text it basically uses whisper AI which
1:11
is open ai's speech to text model and it
1:14
is pretty accurate the problem with this
1:16
application is the free version gives
1:19
you only 2,000 words per week there is a
1:22
limit and after that you won't be able
1:24
to use it so maybe it's good enough if
1:26
you want to reply to few and comment on
1:28
social media posts every now and then
1:31
but if you want to involve this
1:32
application in your workflow you need to
1:34
pay $12 a month if you go for the yearly
1:37
plan for the monthly it will be $15 so
1:40
here's an even better option for you
1:42
which is also premium you have to pay to
1:44
unlock all the features but the features
1:46
offered in free version is also quite
1:48
amazing and there is no limit of words
1:51
because all of the transcription is done
1:54
locally on your computer the application
1:56
I'm talking about is Mac whisper listed
1:58
on gumroad you can download the free
1:59
version although the paid version only
2:03
€59 so around $65 which is not much
2:08
because it is onetime payment and the
2:11
features it provides it's definitely
2:13
worth every penny so I have purchased it
2:15
actually and this is how the software is
2:18
it not only has dictation but also has
2:20
got a lot of other features for example
2:22
recording meetings if you're in a zoom
2:24
call you can launch this application the
2:27
recent version allows you to
2:28
automatically start this when it detects
2:31
a meeting I haven't tested it yet but it
2:33
is an amazing feature if you want to
2:34
transcribe meetings other is you can
2:37
start recording and speak into the
2:39
microphone which is good for creating
2:41
scripts or writing blog posts because it
2:44
will give you the transcription you can
2:45
use chat GPT and other AI models to
2:48
refine that transcription or make a
2:50
layout of it so you can publish it later
2:53
but since this video is about dictation
2:55
and using your voice to write emails and
2:57
everything on your computer I will talk
3:00
about this dictation feature this
3:01
dictation feature from Mac mper can be
3:03
assigned on your keyboard so that you
3:05
can easily start it speak into the
3:08
microphone and when you release it it
3:10
will transcribe things for you let me
3:12
give you a brief example how this works
3:15
suppose I am in a document file I have
3:18
assigned this dictation feature to the
3:20
right option key if I press the option
3:22
key it will fire up so this is something
3:24
I want to tell you how amazing it is
3:26
that it is able to transcribe whatever I
3:28
speak into the microphone when I release
3:30
it will transcribe it and this is the
3:33
result you can say it is amazing now let
3:36
me use the native dictation feature of
3:38
the Mac computer this is something I
3:40
want to tell you how amazing it is that
3:43
it is able to transcribe whatever I
3:45
speaking to the microphone so this is
3:47
also good the native feature is also
3:49
good but sometime it does not work that
3:51
well this is where the rication feature
3:53
of Mac this for is amazing you can use
3:56
AI to clean up the transcription
3:58
thetical St will be corrected for that
4:01
go to the settings of mper and go to
4:04
dictation when you scroll down you will
4:06
find these AI prompts one is clean up
4:09
the other one is translate Spanish and
4:12
professional you can add as many as you
4:14
want click here and write your prompt
4:17
give it a name let me show you the
4:19
cleanup prompt the cleanup prompt is
4:20
clean up this dictated transcript and
4:23
remove any grammar or spelling issues
4:25
whenever you speak into the microphone
4:27
the audio file gets transcribed and and
4:29
after that it goes to charge GT and gets
4:33
cleaned up grammatical mistakes are
4:35
fixed and you g the Polish version of
4:37
your transcription and for this to work
4:40
you need open ai's API key and you can
4:43
assign it inside this Mac visper so that
4:46
these proms work for you if you're
4:48
someone who pauses a lot or makes
4:50
mistakes a lot then the dictation PR is
4:54
actually pretty useful because you don't
4:57
have to do it manually it is all done
4:59
automat I Ally and obviously the native
5:01
medication feature is not going to work
5:03
in this scenario because it will not
5:05
refine the transcription so this
5:07
dedication feature was everywhere you
5:09
can use your keyboard you can use this
5:12
feature to translate and it's actually
5:14
pretty fast and it's actually pretty
5:16
cool to write blog posts longer blog
5:19
post because now you won't get tired
5:21
typing you can get the transcription and
5:23
format your blog posts this is how I am
5:26
being productive and able to write more
5:28
content I hope you find this useful if
