| Okay, this repository is a spec tech research for an alternative to an app I use called Voicenotes. Voicenotes, voicenotes.com is a speech-to-text platform, allows me to record notes, transcribes. Okay, points of friction. It's a good, it's a good app. I know the transcription has become incredibly cheap, so I think it's viable. I think I had a yearly plan that expires soon. There's a couple of minor nitty-gritty things but they do make a difference. <br/><br/>Number one is authenticated webhooks. Webhooks are amazing and I use them all the time but it would be, authentication would be useful that I could post a transcription. The second thing is export, it's lacking, which makes me a bit nervous about it, like I can't export all my notes. It's a good app, the Android feels like a bit of an afterthought. The good thing is that there's no cap, so I can basically record for hours every day and that's an essential requirement for me. I'd rather pay more for something unrestricted. <br/><br/>The ability to automatically source and categorize notes would be brilliant, but as a daily driver, those are the small points of friction that I find in Android. Oh, ah, there's a major one. In Android, it doesn't support Bluetooth recording at this point, which means that if I'm recording when I'm out and using a Bluetooth headset, I can't manually set the input device. Even if I can work around it, I really want to have the confidence to know that I'm recording from my Bluetooth microphone because it makes a significant difference in terms of input capture quality and a word list that can be synced across devices. <br/><br/>I think it has that, so it's just a small few points I would say. It's a great tool, it's just missing a bit of polish for serious use, which if I'm recording into it for hours per day, I can't argue it's the value proposition. I think it's great, but increasingly the more I depend on it, the more these things stand out as, wait, I really need something that can do this. |
