Oh this is great. Just tried it out. A couple feature wishes:
- Sync the audio + text somewhere (although maybe this can be done with SyncThing already?) - Add a widget / app action to support one-tap voice notes from the home screen

#72If 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.
FYI bluetooth microphones almost all degrade to some horrifically terrible codec that makes voice recognition much less reliable.
I don't understand why in 2021 Bluetooth degrades to "worse than a 1970's land line" in quality as soon as something tries to use the microphone.

#73Awesome!!! I have had it in the back of my mind for years to do something like this. I am so glad that you have stepped up. Very, very much needed. Now I just need to figure out how best to bulk transcribe the hours and years of audio recording...

I tried to do this for my rambling half-hour in-car voice "notes" using AWS S3 -> Lambda -> Transcribe. I got the flow working but the transcript is literally unplayable and I'm not sure how to get it to a usable quality. I have vague plans to experiment with IBM Watson but it's way back-burnered.

#77Great app! And this comes from a guy who has _very_ few apps installed on his phone!
Would it be difficult to have it recognize a different language? (german)

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you not buffer the audio and then send the buffer to the transcription service, allowing you to keep the original? If this were all on-device I'd use this in a heartbeat. I'd even pay for it. I worry about privacy though - I appreciate you went with Azure instead of Google, however!
You really think Azure and Google Cloud have that much difference? If you use GCP, you can select whether they can also use the data for training, per request. Does Azure have that option or clarity?
Their respective reactions to 2013 is all the clarity you need.

#79Super 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 Mo…
I'm less bullish on specific deadlines for these kinds of notes. I'm planning to do a weekly summary notification - "you made X notes last week, Y of them were high-priority" https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner/issues/20
Reminders would be a useful addition to this for me, too.

#80Love that first item on your first App Store screenshot: “Re-watch the mother of all demos”.
