Here’s a useful writing breakthrough that has made a difference for me…

Set up an account at ElevenLabs. Create a custom voice by uploading some recordings of yourself speaking. It’s not perfect, but it’s eerily close.

Now, when writing an essay, a book or even a report for work, upload the text and have the site convert it to your voice. Download it to your phone and listen to the audiobook you just made as you walk around town or go for a drive.

You’ll probably notice things that didn’t come through when you were trying to edit your own work on the screen.

It’s also a useful hack for anyone writing a screenplay or dialogue. And perhaps it will be helpful for you in converting and then listening to documents that others have written.

Reading is a miracle, but our brains listen differently–especially to our own voice.
