7/10: Speak Your Mind With Audio Journaling

A truly effective way to capture your day and keep precious moments alive? Try audio journaling!

Whether you prefer sticking to a routine or hitting “record” spontaneously to save a snapshot of your day – speaking your mind comes with immediate gratification: It is a liberating experience, especially when your emotions run high. Or a perfect way to unwind after work. 

What if self-talk feels awkward? Speaking out loud takes a few days getting used to, but you’ll quickly start appreciating the freedom of offloading your mind on the go. 

Research shows when you talk through what you’ve just experienced, you’re more likely to understand and learn from it.

Whatever your voice journaling style is, Earkick’s AI-powered engine is always ready to analyze your voice, prefill your journal and keep your entries safe.
