The fastest, most frictionless way to capture your ideas with voice and create actions with them in tools like Notion, Slack, Asana, Todoist, Clickup, Obsidian, and more.
Epiphany's approach to transforming voice notes into actionable tasks across platforms is impressive. I'm curious about the accuracy of its voice recognition, especially in noisy environments or with diverse accents. Additionally, how does Epiphany handle data privacy and security, considering the sensitive nature of some recorded information?
@faizanjan_ thanks! Re: voice recognition. It depends on the language/accent, but it's usually upper 90s percent accuracy. And we're exploring ways to make it even more accurate in the future. We do have a 'special word' section where you can input things like proper names or companies that may commonly be misspelled. We take privacy and security seriously and give users control of the data. And we have roadmap plans to enable an auto delete option after a certain user set period within the app for those that don't want to store their epiphanies in app after routing.
Thanks@amorimj ! Just trying to make it as easy as possible to capture and make use of your awesome ideas!

This app is really cool! 🤩 I might have to pull out the plastic for this one!
I don't see a way to report issues via the website, so here they are. A few minor snags I hit:
When installing the Obsidian Plugin, I had to restart obsidian to get the "new tab" to login to my Epiphany account
For Obsidian "Add to existing note", is there a limitation that it won't let me choose an existing note? It defaults to "Epiphany notes" (which I don't see present), and won't let me change.
When creating a new action in the app. If you update the custom prefix of the action, it's hard to get to the save button on the bottom. If you hit "return" it will hide the keyboard, but I think a lot of apps switch that to the "keyboard symbol" to make it more apparent.
a few things that would be nice:
Be able to specify a folder within Obsidian where all new notes get dropped into.
Be able to specify a note title template for Obsidian note. Eg, adding the current date to each note.
Congrats on launch! I've wanted something like this for a long time ..
@tleyden Thanks so much! We do have a customer support center on the profile tab in app, but not on the website. I really appreciate the feedback! Our Obsidian integration is definitely a v1. Completely agree with your points. We're going to be updating the plugin to where you can do the login in the plugin settings itself without a new tab. You're right, for now you can only add to the Epiphany Notes note. When you create your first epiphany, that note should appear. We do have that hard set currently because we are working to open it up to selecting any existing note to append to, as well as more options for folders/organization if you want to create a new note per epiphany. And good shout on the prefix/keyboard. We'll check that out. I'll follow up in app via Intercom.
Congrats on the idea and launch Troy! Such a simple yet powerful idea. Love the integration with productivity tools. I was wondering, does the app know which idea to send to each software? For example a team communication do you have to let know the app to send it via Slack? Or you have to program it individually.
@slidejoy Really appreciate it! Good question. The way it works is you configure an action button with the tool you want to connect with and select a few settings (channel/dm for example if using Slack). Then you can have up to 5 (currently) to instantly route the thought to. Users really like to know exactly where their messages are going, so we enable that with the configurable options to make it as fast and frictionless as possible.
@iralobanovskaya Good question! Like the native voice recorder you mean? Think of Epiphany like the recorder, but instead of saving the recording and then having to do something with it, instantly sending the text from the note to the place where it needs to go to get utilized.
@troy_gasnier yeah, native voice recorder or telegram voice messages. Because the best button to catch the idea is the closest one. But this is 100% not a perfect system, thats why I'm curious. I TBH hate tana and obsidian for theirs complexity and within my personal experience of a marketer and PR specialist, such complex products don't have much potential to become giants.
@iralobanovskaya well said! Agree the closest button is the best button! That's why we made the action button access and lock screen widgets. I do agree people often get caught up managing that system rather than getting value from it.

Very nice idea! Congrats on your launch, @troy_gasnier :) Looking forward to the integration with Asana.
Epiphany
@michal_kuchta Thanks! We have Asana currently integrated, so you can create tasks directly from Epiphany.

@troy_gasnier @Epiphany Wow! I think no more forgetting ideas! voice to task is really cool! I will try it!
