We're experimenting with dictation that keeps the audio, allows you to format it in a way that can be read (or used by other systems... like project management tools or CRM). You built up notes ad tasks with lots of little grabs. Like writing, you talk in bursts.
Keeping the audio means you don't have to worry as much about transcription errors or misunderstood tone. You can be very fast and casual - unlike written - and the audio is a safety net.
Voice recording takes a little getting used to, a lot of execs currently record voice memos for their EA... who then have to type it into something useful.
We hope to make this behaviour accessible to everyone, because it's fast and kind of amazing when it works.
Nope, easiest is to skip this and move along.
The HN frontpage gets you 15 seconds of attention. It's worth taking the time to come up with a 15 second pitch before you go live.
Can someone please explain this to me in plain text what it is and who it’s for? Because in an office (it seems like a B2B tool), voice either reveals things you don’t want heard or annoys those around you (never mind the other issues with speech recognition and voice based interfaces).
