Hey ,

It’s time for another Tuesday Tools Roundup, where I share Tools and Apps that I’ve personally tested, so you don’t have to!

Here’s how this goes. Every Tuesday, I’ll share only a couple of tools para you don't go insane.

Marami talagang basura apps out there that don’t really work and are just cashing in on the gold rush that is AI (sometimes, they're just calling it AI-powered daw kahit hindi naman.)

Ako na mag-reresearch kasi hobby ko talaga mag-discover the apps.

I’ll share only the stable ones that won’t likely go out of business agad and those that have huge potential kahit bago, and are truly useful for Pinoy freelancers like us. 

Got it? Good. 

Today I’ll share two classics with a twist.

GOOGLE DOCS TIPS

Ever wished you could get more out of Google Docs? Here are awesome tips that I use daily to save time, and I thought you might find them handy too.

in addition to that, typing

docs.new in your chrome search bar automatically creates a new document

sheets.new creates a new sheet

forms.new makes a new form

slides.new gives you a new presentation

keep.new creates a new note agad (saves you 3 clicks)

gamit na gamit yang mga yan, plus yung voice typing when I'm dictating my emails from the side of the road hehe.

PRICE: FREE

Watch how I use this, joke lang. Alam mo na to.

KRISP AUDIO NOISE CANCELLATION (link)

You probably know this already, and old news na ito. But in case you haven't heard of it yet, Krisp is an amazing tool that can be incredibly useful for freelancers like us who frequently have calls with prospects and clients. 

Just picture this: You’re on an important call with a potential client, but there’s a lot of background noise in your environment at di kayo magkarinigan.

Minsan tilaok ng manok, minsan kapitbahay na nag videokoe. Whatever it is, turn off yun sa prospect. awts.

That’s when Krisp comes to the rescue.

It utilizes AI technology to eliminate all that distracting noise, allowing us to have crystal-clear conversations. New update nila is they also have AI meeting summaries/notes that will help you create that strategy doc much faster. 

Say goodbye to worrying about barking dogs, construction sounds, or nagsisigawan na kapitbahay na marites, disrupting our calls!

PRICE:

Merong FREE Tier (now with unli transcripts, and 2 AI Meeting Note summaries per day only) so we can start using it right away at no cost. It’s been around for many years now, and I think it’s here to stay.

Etong video sample ko I sent to THE Fitz Villafuerte 3 YEARS ago pa, this software is that solid. I didn’t make a new one now because my current office is an actual studio setup na kaya walang pangit na sound. Nuks yabang o

That's it for now guys!
