4. **Drafting Content – Section by Section (Mental or Scratchpad):**
* *Intro:* Expand on remote work stats, market growth. Avoid banned phrases.
* *H2 1 (Top Tools):* Table comparison. Discuss market trends.
* *H2 2 (OBS):* Focus on open-source, customization, learning curve. Mention “I tested”.

*Banned Phrases Check:* I must be vigilant. No “game-changer”, “delve”, “comprehensive guide”, etc.
*Word Count Strategy:* I need to write generously. Each H2 section needs at least 2 paragraphs, but to hit 1800 words with 7 H2s + Intro + FAQ, I need roughly 200-250 words per H2 section plus intro/outro.

*Internal Link Anchors:* Need to be descriptive.
*External Citations:* Need to be authoritative.
*Let’s assemble.*
*Wait, one more check on H2s:* “Each H2 must be a COMPLETE, full question.”
My planned H2s:
1. What Are the Top Screen Recording Tools Available in 2026?
2. How Does OBS Studio Perform for Free Professional Recording?
3. Why Is Camtasia the Leading Choice for Tutorial Creation?
4. Can Loom Replace Traditional Meetings for Async Communication?
5. Which Screen Recorder Works Best for Mac Users and Gamers?
6. What Technical Settings Ensure High-Quality Screen Captures?
7. How Do You Choose the Right Recorder for Your Specific Needs?
These look good.
*Word Count Strategy:* I will write detailed paragraphs. I will describe the interface, the export options, the pricing models, and the specific use cases in depth.
*Let’s go.*
*Wait, I need to make sure I don’t use “FAQ…” in the FAQ section heading.* The prompt says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It doesn’t explicitly say I need an H2 for the FAQ section, but usually, a section needs a header. However, the instruction says “You MUST include exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings.” If I add an H2 for “Frequently Asked Questions”, that counts towards the 5-8. If I just use H3s for the questions, I need to make sure I don’t violate the H2 count.
Actually, reading carefully: “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags with paragraph answers”. It does not explicitly demand an H2 header for the FAQ section, but standard HTML structure usually implies a section header. However, to be safe on the H2 count (5-8), I will treat the 7 H2s I planned as the total. I will not add an extra H2 for “FAQ”. I will just start the H3s after the last H
2 content.
Wait, if I don’t have an H2 introducing the FAQ, it might look odd, but the constraint is “Exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings”. I have 7 planned. I will stick to 7. I will not add an H2 for “FAQ”. I will just transition to the H3s.
Actually, looking at the instruction: “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It doesn’t say “Under an H2”. So I will just place the H3s after the last H2’s content. This keeps my H2 count at 7.
*Wait, one more check:* “Each H2 section must have at least 2 paragraphs of content before the next H2”.
Okay, I will ensure that.
*Let’s begin.*
*Word Count Check:* I need to be very careful to hit 1800 words. I will expand on the technical details of encoding, specific AI features, and comparative analysis.
