How to Use AI Productivity Tools: Speech, Music, Flashcards, Quizzes and More

Beyond our major tool suites for image, video, audio, and text, we offer a collection of powerful standalone AI tools that each solve a specific productivity challenge. McKinsey's State of AI survey shows that AI adoption has doubled since 2017, with productivity tools leading the way. From converting text to natural speech and transcribing audio to generating music, creating study materials, and even building entire web applications — these tools pack serious capability into simple interfaces.

This guide covers all six standalone AI productivity tools and shows you how to use each one effectively.

Text to Speech

Tool: Text to Speech

Turn any written text into natural-sounding audio. This tool converts your text into spoken words using AI voice synthesis, producing realistic speech that sounds human rather than robotic.

How It Works

1. Paste or type your text into the input field
2. Select your preferred voice, language, and speaking speed
3. Click generate and download your audio file

Best Use Cases

• Content accessibility — Create audio versions of blog posts, articles, and documents for visually impaired users or people who prefer listening
• Voiceovers — Generate voiceovers for presentations, explainer videos, and social media content without hiring a voice actor
• Language learning — Hear correct pronunciation of text in different languages
• Proofreading — Listening to your text read aloud helps catch errors and awkward phrasing that your eyes might miss
• Audiobook creation — Convert written stories, guides, or educational content into audio format

Tips

• Break long text into shorter paragraphs for more natural-sounding output
• Experiment with different voices to find the best match for your content's tone
• Use punctuation intentionally — commas create short pauses, periods create longer ones, and question marks affect intonation

Speech to Text

Tool: Speech to Text

Convert spoken audio into accurate written text. Upload a recording of a meeting, interview, lecture, or voice note, and get a clean text transcript.

How It Works

1. Upload an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, or other common formats)
2. The AI processes the speech and identifies words, sentences, and speaker patterns
3. Receive a clean text transcript you can copy, edit, and use

Best Use Cases

• Meeting notes — Record meetings and convert them to written minutes without manual note-taking
• Interview transcription — Transcribe interviews for journalism, research, or hiring processes
• Lecture notes — Record lectures and get instant study notes
• Voice memos — Convert quick voice recordings into text for task lists, ideas, and reminders
• Content repurposing — Turn podcast episodes or video narration into blog posts and articles

Tips

• Use clear recordings with minimal background noise for best accuracy
• Speak clearly and at a moderate pace for optimal transcription results
• Review and edit the transcript for any proper nouns, technical terms, or domain-specific vocabulary that the AI might not recognize

AI Music Generator

Tool: AI Music Generator

Create original music from text descriptions. Describe the genre, mood, instruments, and style you want, and the AI composes and produces a complete music track.

How It Works

1. Describe the music you want in natural language — genre, mood, tempo, instruments, and style
2. Select your preferred duration and quality settings
3. Generate and download your original AI-composed music

Best Use Cases

• Background music — Create custom background tracks for videos, presentations, and podcasts without royalty concerns
• Songwriting inspiration — Generate musical ideas and chord progressions to kickstart your creative process
• Game development — Create original soundtracks and ambient audio for games and interactive experiences
• Social media content — Generate unique audio tracks for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube content
• Meditation and relaxation — Create calming ambient music for wellness apps and personal relaxation

Tips

• Be specific about genre and mood: "upbeat lo-fi hip hop with soft piano and vinyl crackle" gives much better results than "relaxing music"
• Mention specific instruments you want featured: "acoustic guitar, cello, and light percussion"
• Reference tempo and energy: "120 BPM, energetic" or "slow and contemplative"
• If you have a reference track you like, analyze it first with the AI Music Prompt Generator to get an optimized prompt

AI Flashcard Generator

Tool: AI Flashcard Generator

Create study flashcards from any topic or text using AI. Research published in Science confirms that retrieval-based learning through flashcards significantly outperforms passive re-reading for long-term retention. Type a subject, paste content, or describe what you want to learn, and the AI generates a complete set of flashcards with questions on one side and answers on the other.

How It Works

1. Enter your topic, paste text content, or describe what you need to study
2. The AI generates a set of flashcards covering key concepts, definitions, and facts
3. Study the flashcards interactively, flipping between question and answer sides

Best Use Cases

• Exam preparation — Generate flashcards from textbook chapters, lecture notes, or study guides
• Language vocabulary — Create vocabulary flashcards for any language
• Professional certifications — Study for certifications by generating cards from official study materials
• Onboarding — Create flashcards for new employee training and company knowledge
• Self-learning — Generate flashcards for any topic you want to learn, from history to science to programming concepts

Tips

• For best results, paste the actual study material rather than just a topic name — the AI creates more accurate cards from source content
• Combine with the PDF Flashcard Generator to create cards directly from PDF textbooks and documents
• Review flashcards regularly using spaced repetition for maximum retention

AI Quiz Generator

Tool: AI Quiz Generator

Generate educational quizzes from any topic or content. The AI creates multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions complete with correct answers and explanations.

How It Works

1. Enter a topic or paste content you want to be quizzed on
2. The AI generates a quiz with varied question types
3. Take the quiz interactively, then review your answers and explanations

Best Use Cases

• Self-assessment — Test your understanding of a topic before an exam
• Teaching — Create quizzes for students without spending hours writing questions
• Training — Generate assessment quizzes for corporate training programs
• Content review — Verify your understanding of articles, books, or courses you have completed
• Study groups — Create quizzes for group study sessions

Tips

• Specify the difficulty level you want: "Create an advanced quiz on machine learning algorithms" versus "Create a beginner quiz on basic ML concepts"
• For comprehensive quizzes, provide the source material so the AI can create questions specific to what you studied
• Use alongside the Interactive Quiz Generator for PDF-based content

Vibe Coder

Tool: Vibe Coder

Generate complete web applications, games, and interactive experiences from simple text descriptions. No coding knowledge required — just describe what you want to build, and the AI writes the code.

How It Works

1. Describe the application or experience you want to create in plain language
2. The AI generates complete, working code with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
3. Preview the result instantly in your browser, then download or copy the code

Best Use Cases

• Prototyping — Quickly build interactive prototypes to test ideas before investing in full development
• Learning — See how code works by describing what you want and studying the generated output
• Simple tools — Create calculators, converters, timers, and utility tools without hiring a developer
• Games — Build browser-based games from descriptions like "Create a snake game with neon colors"
• Landing pages — Generate simple landing pages and web forms for quick projects
• Interactive presentations — Create interactive demos and visual experiences for meetings and pitches

Tips

• Start with simple descriptions and iterate: "Create a todo list app" then "Add a dark mode toggle and local storage"
• Be specific about design preferences: "Use a minimal dark theme with rounded corners and smooth animations"
• For games, describe the mechanics clearly: "A platformer game where the character jumps between floating islands, collecting coins"
• The generated code is yours to keep and modify — use it as a starting point for more complex projects

Combining Tools for Maximum Productivity
