Interesting work, glad to see I am not the only crazy one left in the life logging scene after all these years. Have been lifelogging since 2004-ish, and built a few custom bits of software and hardware to support it. I don't record 24x7 anymore, but I used to. Now my recordings are limited mostly to my office environment, and when I am out and about using a Sensecam-like device with custom firmware. When in my office I capture video, audio and depth data from multiple view points, along with images of the desktop of whatever computer I am on, and process most of it on a Jetson. How's the audio quality on those devices you link to in other comments? I find I pick up a lot of ambient noise when outside of the office, and always struggled to come up with a viable algorithm and model to differentiate "background chatter" from the main conversation, and it is a problem I've never really managed to solve so I am interested in your experiences on the subject.

Decent, quality is directly proportional to the distance between the microphone and the mouth, but can't expect too much from 30$ devices. >and always struggled to come up with a viable algorithm and model to differentiate "background chatter" from the main conversation Yes, that's a big problem to solve, you can try Pyannote's Diarization https://lablab.ai/t/whisper-transcription-and-speaker-identification https://lablab.ai/t/whisper-transcription-and-speaker-identi... that will be a next step for the experience
