Thinking hard makes the brain tired

Sounds familiar.

I really wish I had a good way to just get ideas into my phone quickly when on the road. Far too often I think I have some good ideas or make progress in something I thought of earlier, but I have no way to "save" it.

I bought a Bluetooth keyboard at some point that I can hook up to my phone if needed, but I almost never have the keyboard with me :-(

I use Drafts on iOS. But I hate Siri dictation. Too many mistakes which are difficult to correct while walking.

Was thinking Mic > Whisper transcription > GPT to take in a rough brain dump including instructions like “scratch that!” and convert it into the form you want (say, bullet points or action items). Should even be possible to dictate concept maps that way. Or even write Python functions on the go.

Voice notes, maybe? As long as the app also handles speech recognition and stores the plaintext alongside it.

Just run the recording through whisper!

Although make sure you hit record first, and it records more than 30 seconds if you do.
