Whether for business or personal use, millions of people author blog posts daily. Blogs act as a tool for companies to keep clients and prospective customers up-to-date and informed, and for individuals to update their family and friends about their lives and livelihood. While there are some great tools available for blog writing, they require both Internet access and what can turn into long sessions in front of the computer. Posting can be tedious and a huge time commitment, which is where an IVR system would come in quite handy. An IVR system that employs transcription services would help people telephonically speak what they intended to write in their blog post. Subscribers could call in, specify which of their blogs they were writing about, and compose a post completely with the use of speech technology. Instead of spending hours in front of a computer, users could speak organically about what they intended to say. This sort of system would employ speech recognition software and transcription software that would basically allow users to vocalize everything they were thinking and transcribe it as such. The transcribed document could then either be posted, or sent along to the user for final approval prior to posting. In this way, users could maintain multiple blogs without necessarily having to be chained to a computer. A simple blue tooth headset would offer the kind of mobility they were seeking, and allow them to crank out blog posts quickly and succinctly on the go! As I sit here blogging in front of my computer, I only wish that I had this type of tool available!
