You could integrate vosk for local on-device private transcription. https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api

thanks, this is a great idea. Curious how it stacks up against other libraries.

i did a quick comparison with regards to word error rate... https://robmsmt.github.io/2021/09/04/benchmarking-asr-first-...

For my particular dataset it worked quite well. It was the best offline ASR that I tried.

What's your favorite PTT mic? I'm always on the lookout for great device recommendations!

I don't have one. But I think I would buy the Aina PTT Voice Responder if I bought one. https://shop.ainaptt.com/ptt-devices/21-ptt-voice-responder....

I have used a few of these for testing at work (I'm a developer). They're pretty solid devices, well built, audio quality is _subjectively_ pretty good and they have headset ports.

If this would support a bluetooth PTT microphone, it would be perfect. Then I could leave the phone in my pocket and have tangible, physical buttons to record with. I don't like messing with a touchscreen when out and about.

I had high hopes for the MYLE, which I saw at CES 2016, but it never ended up getting built.

How would any non-domain specific tool (ie a voice recorder app for real estate or even real estate in PR" even know what "opportunity" means. It could do a loose keyword match but unless you used the words "Tulum" or "Evan" how would it know to link notes together without context on who Evan is?

If it had 10+ algorithmic shuffling based on keywords, I'd just click the button until it was shuffled somewhere in the domain of "close enough." Then I could reorder the folders myself. Maybe it's counterintuitive, but as a user, having an algorithm shuffle things wrong is actually preferable to me, rather than me starting from a large flat list of arbitrary unlabeled recordings.. (assuming I would not take the time…

Why not just have customizable keyword categories? So then you could preface it with said keywords / tags.

"HIGH/LOW OPPURTUNITY x name x location"

"CHECK OUT x on DAY"

"BUY x"

Etc...

This is brilliant - simple, novel, local, open source. Love it.

I had a dream at the beginning of the pandemic that people who spend all day in Zoom calls might be able to spend all day hiking as well. I tried quite hard to make it work a couple of times - big USB battery in the backpack - but LTE signal was never good enough up in the hills here.

I wonder if this could integrate with Siri (or Assistant), e.g. 'Tell Voiceliner '. Be better than fiddling with your phone, at least.

Looks like there's an issue: https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner/issues/35
