I do a lot.

1) An iPhone with a voice memo running

2) A plug in sony voice recorder that's on as a backup

3) Voice memos on Apple Watch for specific things

4) Notes and reminders on iphone

5) iPhone with voice recording near shower during shower

6) If I need to store something in my head, I use memory techniques to remember it - for example, don't append new items to the list, prepend them. i.e. 3rd item you thought of, 2nd item you thought of, 1st item you thought of.

7) I'm building an iOS app that will show me a running live transcript of the last 30 minutes I spoke out loud. (Contact info in my HN profile if you'd like to get on the beta) I haven't found a transcription app that has a paid plan with enough minutes to be left running 24/7 (Otter limits to 4h at a time, and 100 hours per month). And voice memos has no live transcription. So building this instead. If there's an existing alternative that works though, please tell me so I can save the time!



Now that you mention it, why doesn’t Voice Memos have transcription? Voicemail does, the keyboard does…that seems like an obvious feature at this point.
