I’m not really a great blogger – i’m not even a good writer. There are tons of blogs coming up daily, and truly 99% are crap (in the sense of the writing style, and how the ideas and facts are laid out…totally random…highly illogical..etc), and the rest 1% are like this (which I just totally adore because of the way Rahul puts his ideas…logical..humorous…sarcastic..superb).
Just one of the reason (that I personally feel) is the inability of people to jot down their thoughts exactly as they have in their head, on paper. It’s no surprise then, why a SOP is mandatory in a lot of B-Schools.
With google coming out with it’s speech-to-text app for iPhone, there is something there for not-so-great bloggers too. Something that they should be really happy about.
Simply imagine a blogging platform, where you log in to the admin section, click on the new post tab, and just start speaking what you have in your head. This approach has atleast 2 benefits
- Firstly, for this you will not have to keep track of your ideas on a paper, before making a post about those. What you think, is what is blogged. Great.
- Secondly, the time to write a blog post (which is undoubtedly pretty damn long for a meaningful and good post – I nearly quit twice before completing this useless and directionless post) decreases to a minimum – equivalent to the time you spend thinking over it. The jotting down the points, then a rough draft and finally the proper post is gone forever. Great again
While this is something very difficult, because since eternity, speech-to-text has been one of the toughest problem of Artificial Intelligence and self-learning algorithms, this is certainly not impossible. So while Google may think about it in the future, but till they do so, if you are a great dreamer, an aggressive entrepreneur, and most importantly have lots of moolah and courage to stand against failure also, this may turn out to be one of those killer ideas to change the world (i.e. what google and youtube did :D )
