Any tips or recommendations for a "note-taking and to-do" mobile app that would allow dictation, speech to text?
My use-case is recording quick notes and TODOs, which often come at the weirdest of moments (no computer, no paper).
I feel there's a market for something super simple: a speech recognition fast enough and good enough that I can later read and understand what I said.
Everything I've tried so far was either too cumbersome (I need it to start recording fast, just like taking a snap picture) or its transcriptions too crappy (no idea what was said, even conceptually).
- jherdman 9y ago> "no computer, no paper" Sounds like you really just ought to make a habit of keeping pen and paper near you, or your mobile phone. Either of these fit your use case nicely at (probably) no extra cost.
- icebraining 9y agoor your mobile phone Well, Radim is looking for a mobile app, so I'm assuming there's one around.
- oddlyaromatic 9y agoNot an app, but I have used ifttt recipes for this in the past, where I call the number and leave a message, then receive an email with transcription and link to audio in case the transcription was bad. Then I was automatically tagging those emails in Gmail to be able to go through my notes. The IFTTT number was saved in my contacts with an easily pronounced word. So when driving I could tell Siri "call Bender" and then not have to worry about any launch/navigation etc, just start talking
