Talk, ramble, get notes. Test it here
The Problem
I have ideas in the shower, while walking, mid conversation. By the time I can type, they're gone. I needed to capture thoughts by talking.
What I Built
A voice first note taking app:
- Press record, start talking
- Real time transcription
- AI summarization
- Extracted action items
- Organized, searchable notes
Stack: Next.js, OpenAI Whisper API, GPT 4
Key Learnings
1. Voice capture is liberating
No editing while speaking. Just raw thought capture. The AI cleans it up later. Frees your mind to actually think.
2. Real time transcription changed the game
Seeing words appear as you speak creates a different experience than recording and transcribing later. More interactive, more engaging.
3. Summaries need structure
"Key points" and "action items" are more useful than a plain summary. The output format matters as much as the content.
4. This is genuinely useful
Not a demo, not a portfolio piece. I actually use this daily. That's the best validation.
