Because Some Days I’d Rather Talk than Type

November 23rd, 2009 by Jennifer Jeffrey | located in Features | trackback

As a writer, I spend hours every day typing. Tap, tap, tap – my hamster wheel is a keyboard. But alas, the muse doesn’t always arrive when I need her, and sometimes I get great ideas when I’m in my car, or standing in line, or taking a walk.

When I heard about Ribbit Mobile’s voice memo function, I was thrilled. Not only does it record my thoughts and ideas  - it also turns them into text and emails them to me! So I can get an email started, or begin a blog post, or record my latest brilliant concept for a novel.

Because sometimes – it really is so much nicer to talk than type.

Here’s how to create a voice memo:

• Dial into your Ribbit voicemail from any phone (I have mine on speed dial on my iPhone, which makes it a cinch.)
• Press “9” to get into the menu.
• Press “5” - the voice memo option.
• Start talking.
• Hang up when you’re done – then sit back and wait for the transcription!

Here are a few ways people around Ribbit use voice memos:

• To dictate a shopping list while in the car
• To get an email started away from the desk
• To create a to-do list for the day
• To send themselves reminders

Have you used voice memos? Let us know. We’d love to hear how it works for you.
