Fantastic! I love that it is all local.
The audio goes out.

Re: Show HN: Voiceliner – Capture structured braindumps on the go
#12I think this is exactly what I've been looking for. I like going for walks and listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and I've been using Google's recorder as a way to "highlight" my findings, but it doesn't let me add to existing recordings so I can't collate sessions together.
I'll be trying this on as a replacement.

#13Great idea! I've been trying for a while to find the best way to take notes when on the go, just installed to test it.

#14What do you use for the transcription part? Paid library or something open? More curious on accuracy.
on iOS, it's on-device. on Android, Azure - so far I haven't hit the free limit of 5hr/mo. Might start charging Android users if we hit the free limit.

#15Super clean setup on iOS! Can’t wait to try it out, the concept is lovely.
I use notion a TON but it’s not great for the most immediate time sensitive notes.
Do you think you could integrate google calendar / reminders in some way? A lot of the kind of notes I would record on this kind of app have some form of either deadline, or are only relevant after a certain date or time. For example, “check in on this thread Monday morning”. I use google calendar reminders for this right now as they stack up but it’s not a great solution.

#16cool. but on Android, wouldn't Gboard speech input, which also works offline, suffice for the speech input and transcription part?

#17Is it possible to change transcription language on iOS?

Android has on-device transcription for some devices (e.g. Pixel 5 and above). Maybe you could use that instead of charging?

It follows system settings, but I'm going to add app-specific localization soon! https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner/issues/17

EDIT: If you feel strongly about this and think it's possible please send in PRs. Thanks!
Unfortunately you then lose ability to play back the original audio https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2319735/voice-recognitio.... This is a major usability tradeoff IMO, though I'm willing to be swayed to add an option.
I suspect Google's limiting this because they don't want devices "freeloading" their cloud transcription service, since most phones can't do it on-device.
