Pressed, spoke, released, and it actually captured my rambling note cleanly without me having to repeat myself. Love that it stays out of the way instead of trying to be its own personality.
Have been wanting something like this for ages, the press-and-hold capture sounds delightful. One thing that would make it really stick for me is a solid offline mode so my voice notes and dictation work on flights and in spotty wifi, then sync up smoothly once I'm back online.
The push-to-talk idea with earbuds is genuinely nice for quick dictation while walking around. Curious how it handles longer thinking prompts without getting cut off mid sentence.
honestly this looks pretty cool, the press and release flow sounds smooth. one thing i'd love is a quick way to mark certain voice notes as favorites or pin them, so i don't have to scroll back through everything to find the important ones.
The press-and-release flow feels really considered, like they obsessed over that tiny moment between speaking and the app catching your thought. love that it's positioned as an extension of you rather than another chatbot with a personality.
the press-and-release thing feels pretty natural, almost like texting but with my voice. kind of nice that it just listens without trying to be its own personality, just acts like an extension of my brain.
The press and hold flow works great, but a small "lock recording" toggle would be amazing for longer brainstorming sessions when my hands get tired or I want to gesture while talking. Maybe a double tap to switch into hands free mode that auto ends on silence.
Pressing and just talking feels surprisingly natural, and I like that it nudges me with questions instead of doing all the thinking itself.
