This guide walks you through how to capture, edit, and repurpose your spoken words into valuable content using a series of accessible tools.

Option B: Using WhatsApp Voice Notes

1. Record a Voice Note: In WhatsApp, record your voice notes during the conversation.
2. Export Audio File: Send the voice note to yourself, then export or download the audio file for use in the next steps.

Step 2: Refining the Audio with Audacity

1. Open the Audio in Audacity: Import your audio file into Audacity for editing.

   • Remove Background Noise: Use the “Noise Reduction” tool to eliminate unwanted sounds.

Step 4: Using ChatGPT to Transform the Transcription into Tangible Assets

1. Input the Transcription into ChatGPT: Copy the transcript generated by Whisper and paste it into ChatGPT.
2. Prompt for Asset Creation: Here are examples of how to prompt ChatGPT to create various types of assets:
   • For Social Media Posts: “Create three LinkedIn posts based on this conversation transcript, highlighting key points.”
   • For Blog Articles: “Turn this transcript into a 1,000-word blog article that summarizes the main ideas and includes actionable tips.”
   • For Reports or Client Summaries: “Generate a client summary from this transcript, focusing on the most critical insights and actionable next steps.”
3. Refine and Edit: ChatGPT provides a draft based on the prompt. Review the output for accuracy and adjust the tone to match your brand or personal style.

Step 5: Exporting and Repurposing the Content

1. Download and Save: Save your output as a Word document, PDF, or directly copy it for web use.
2. Repurpose: Use the generated assets across platforms – whether it’s publishing a blog, posting on social media, creating a course module, or building a content library.
