I’ve recently had a few people ask what my favourite App is.
(Before I tell you, here’s a quick hint about written comms – it’s relevant to this App:
You should write as you talk
So, if you read your writing out loud, it should sound like you. Not some weird corporate drone)
Which is why my favourite App – as in, the one I use most often, find most valuable, and that saves me most time – is called ‘Document Direct’.
It’s a dictaphone App. I dictate my typing onto it, press “upload” and it goes to a pool of typists. They type and resend it really quickly.
They’re available 24/7. So if I’m dictating at odd times – early, late, am in a different time-zone (if we ever get to fly again) – it still comes back fast.
I love the speed and convenience.
But most importantly, I love that my written stuff sounds like me talking.
Which means it’s more likely to work.
Action Point
- Write as you talk!
- To check you do, read aloud one of your recent written comms. If it doesn’t sound like you, change how you write the next one
- If you’re interested, check out the App (btw, I don’t benefit at all by telling you about it!)
