I went on vacation and had about a week without internet this past week. Enjoying things like the sunrise pictured.
And because I can’t help myself…
I finished a draft of a business fable that’s about 13 years in the making. A part of my editing phase is “reading it out loud” to see how the writing flows.
Maybe two or so years ago, ElevenLabs released its ElevenReader app. Have you ever used it? You can upload a doc and have it read by voices that sound like Maya Angelou, Burt Reynolds, or just about any other voice you choose.
So I put my writing in a doc, uploaded to ElevenReader, and had my fable read to me by “Archer”.
It was great to listen to it without reading it myself. It helped me catch a few things that made more sense on water than back on dry land 🤪.
Pretty cool experience!
