Write an article you can stand behind
Start with a small write an article task. Define your audience, input and quality checks. Review the result yourself before sharing.
Read guide1. Outline a three-minute pilot
In ChatGPT, draft an opening, three talking points and a closing. Keep a source list for factual statements. Write in your speaking voice and read the script aloud to find awkward sentences.
2. Record clean narration
Record in a quiet room and keep the original audio. If evaluating ElevenLabs, use only authorized voices and check current consent, licensing and disclosure requirements. Synthetic narration is optional.
3. Edit against the source audio
Evaluate Descript as an editing candidate. Remove pauses carefully, preserving meaning and speaker consent. Review any transcript against the recording; names and technical terms need special attention.
4. Package a reviewed pilot
Listen through headphones and phone speakers. Check levels, licensing of music and factual claims. Export an audio file, accessible transcript and source notes. Review platform requirements separately before distribution.
Expected output
A reviewed pilot and reusable production checklist.
Limitations
Time and export requirements vary. Verify provider terms. Audio production may require a separate recorder/editor; the listed tools are candidates, not tested integrations.
