If you've been reading this newsletter for a while, you're probably familiar with me using voice-to-text on my phone during walks to empty my mind in a stream of consciousness. Recently I've been trying to do so by using Audiopen, and it's revolutionized the proccess. Instead of pure text with no puncutation, you can choose the size of the summary in relation to the size of the raw transcription, and you can also choose the style of writing you want it to adopt (bullet point, creative, simple, etc). I've just been using it to dump the events of a day for my daily summary, and it's done a good job of retaining information. Of course, it won't be able to completely read your mind and know what to keep vs extract, but it was super convenient to have my thoughts cleaned up for me to just simply paste for the cost of one missing detail I noticed it left (but that might even be fixable by adjusting the settings). I'm currently using the free version and find it useful, so I won't link the affiliate yet. You can check it out at https://audiopen.ai/ After I'm done, I can add it to my daily note or [[My Thoughts]] !
