Show HN: HearInsights – Automatic Notetaker
- kicanozcan 9y agolooks like an interesting project - wish you the best
- phsource 9y agoThis looks really cool! Quick question: is there an easy way to export the recorded notes elsewhere? Often, what we try to do for meeting notes is post them in a Google Docs after the fact, and it'd be great to have this as an almost-appendix.
- nagrom42 9y agoYes, we are adding integration to help you automatically export notes to any storage solution of your choice. Stay tuned!
- srnagappan 9y agohow can we get access?
- nagrom42 9y agoSign up on the website and we will let people try out Beta soon!
- gorrepatik 9y agoThis might be useful for lawyers/doctors
- nagrom42 9y agoWe are indeed trying to get some lawyers to try this out!
- akiro 9y agoLooks quite nice! It would be more useful if it can be integrated into Slack, Jira etc. For example a slack bot could notify people if they, or their tasks were mentioned in a meeting.
- nagrom42 9y agoThis is such a good idea! We will add this to our feature list!
- sebleon 9y agoLooks great - I'd even be willing to spend some time training it to help it distinguish voices of people I tend to meet with!
- tabeth 9y agohow are you going to get around the fact that it's illegal to record people without their consent (two party consent I believe its called) in many places?
- nagrom42 9y ago38 states require single party consent and the rest requires two party consent. Since it is quite complicated, we advice our users to always inform everyone that the conversation is being recorded. Users can later delete recordings from their account if they desire. When users delete a recording, it will be permanently deleted from our database.
- gumby 9y agoMaybe you could automatically elide/mute just portions of people who withheld consent. Also, if someone doesn't want to be recorded can you still retain the transcript?
- nagrom42 9y agoThat's a really good idea! We would be able to build something that allows people to only record part of the conversations. It doesn't seem like we would be able to provide the transcript without recording the conversation. We need to obtain the audio data somehow to further transcribe it. Even if we do realtime transcription, we are still recording and transmitting the data somehow. The only way to obtain a transcript without recording is to use a local dictation solution! But you might need to sacrifice the accuracy of the transcript in this case.
- gumby 9y agoAlso if this is used for business and all participants are employees and/or in single-party states/jurisdictions then there could be anyway for a company to indicate it has the consent of all parties. And recorded transcription plus automatic realtime transcription of non-authorizing parties might embarrass them into allowing it. I've become persuaded over the last decade that two party consent no longer makes sense (though that means the law should change, not that there should be civil disobedience)
