Testing My New Blog Recording Workflow: Let’s See If This Magic Actually Works

By /

*This post is with a not very good style sheet for Claude to convert my voice notes to text for this post. Trial and error…..

This is another test of my blog automation. Hopefully you can ignore the music playing in the background while I record this.

The Current Problem

I’m still wrestling with my blogging process. It’s frankly gotten ridiculous.

Right now I’m using Google Keep’s voice recorder, copying that transcript into Claude for cleanup, then moving it to Google Docs for edits, then logging into Hostinger and WordPress to paste it all in. Then I’m making more changes based on SEO stuff, tweaking titles, updating meta descriptions…

You get the picture. Way too many steps.

Building Something Better

This is all part of my ongoing AI learning journey where I’m actually going to build something that works instead of just talking about it.

I’ve been brainstorming with Claude again on workflow options. Initially I thought Notion would be the answer, but Claude had a much smarter recommendation.

The New Recording Process

Here’s what we’re setting up:

  1. Record using my Android’s built-in recorder app
  2. Auto-save so the file drops straight into Google Drive
  3. Transcribe using Whisper API to convert the MP3 to text
  4. Style using Claude with a custom style guide based on my past posts
  5. Automate using Make.com scenarios to handle all the magic
  6. Publish directly to WordPress using REST API

The beauty is I’ll get an email when it’s ready. Then I just log in, make final edits, add images or backlinks or tags, and hit publish.

Why The Style Guide Matters

The style guide bit is crucial here. I don’t want to end up with generic business waffle.

I want to keep the true, personal thoughts and processes that go on in my head. Just without all the waffling and rambling like I’m doing right now in this audio note.

Make.com will watch for new MP3s in Drive, convert to text, apply the style guide, and post directly to my WordPress page.

First Real Test

So yeah, looking forward to seeing how this magic actually works. This is my first proper recording to test the full workflow.

If you’re reading this as a clean blog post, then it worked. If not… well, back to the drawing board.

Let’s see how this goes.
