Recently, blogrecorder.com added a feature to create a personalized AI knowledge vault so it has a base for writing the way "you" like to write. This is a killer feature. When I create new post ideas the writing is literally in my voice!
Audio Turned Into Blog Articles
🚀 Record your voice in the car or at home, and turn that it into a proper blog post with AI.
