Writing text can take longer than we expect, especially if we are not used to typing or are easily distracted. Using voice-to-text software (dictation) can help produce draft text quickly.
Ready to app-smash?
Set up dictation on your Mac, log into app.grammarly.com and get talking. If you don't have Grammarly yet, go to: grammarly.com/edu/signup and use your WAB mail.
Watch the live feedback develop as you draft.
Pow!
