Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

ilys reviews

This is the best program ever. I wrote 4000 words in one day when in the past I was lucky to get down 500 because of how much of a perfectionist I was being and constantly editing as I went. The 4000 words I threw down were certainly terribly written, but I really don't care because *the words are down and moving the story forward*! This is the best tool for compulsive editors during NaNoWriMo. I can make the writing good later, but for now, getting the words on the page using this program might actually make me successful this NaNo. Thank you thank you thank you.

ilys forces me to get something down. I have a tendency to try and edit as I write, which means it can take me hours to write something even fairly short, and in the end I am not happy with the result. With ilys I know that I can't change anything until I reach my word goal. Also, the simplicity of the site really helps to minimize distractions.

ilys helps with my writing when I'm having trouble focusing. It's great how it makes the whole screen dark and shows only one letter at a time so I can't go back and edit or get distracted by other tabs. I also like the word count feature. Knowing I have to write a certain number of words before I can edit them keeps me going until I reach the goal.

Topic reviews

When we found Topic we were looking to generate content outlines that we can hand off to our writers. Since implementing Topic into our workflow, we are creating outlines at a much faster pace. The GPT-3 integration that Topic offers helps us to come up with titles/ descriptions and outline ideas in no time. I've used the content optimization part sparingly until now. One of our top converting pieces (bringing dozens of subs per month), sadly sank to 10-11th from top 3. After optimizing it with Topic, in about a week we got back to top 3/4. So it proves that there's real merit to Topic's content optimizer. I love their simple UI interface. A lot of other tools I tested usually overwhelm the users by showing a lot of data and with their complicated workflows. With Topic, they show you just the right amount of information required to accomplish the task.

Topic ensures you are aware of all relevant keywords as you write or optimize your article and provides resources to make sure the writer understands context. We have been using Topic for two months now and have witnessed ranking increases on all optimized content. The niches we work in are volatile and rankings change frequently so we cannot provide detailed metrics on ranking improvements e.g. 15% ranking improvement for example.

If you need to create a blog outline, this tool is a must-have! Topic has saved me so many hours of manual work by automating content and keyword research. Write better content - I have a better understanding of the competition and the audience goal for blog topics. Creating Blog Outline - Instead of spending hours of manual research to create a blog outline, Topic automates the process by creating an outline to hand off to writers.
