I made a free app to convert audio notes into structured text in the form of paragraphs or bullet points. It works with Voice Memos, lectures, and recorded files. (alien.top)

Hi there 👋,

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on over the past few months!

My primary goal is to create a service that will be beneficial for people. The app is completely free and does not require registration. Please share your thoughts on this idea, and suggest any new features you think I should implement!

Exciting Features:

- Speak to Write: with this feature, you can speak your thoughts or information and the tool will transcribe it into text. The best part? You can then forward the transcribed text to any application with just one click. For example, you could set up an automatic export feature for your Notion account.
- Audio to Action Plan: the service can transform a received audio message into a structured list of elements or bullet points. This feature is especially useful for outlining an action plan or item list.
- Speak in any Language: you can dictate an audio message in your native language, and the service will translate it into any other language, maintaining high translation quality—significantly better than Google Translate.
- Meeting Transcripts & Summaries: the service is perfect for converting recorded audio from meetings into text and generating concise summaries. It supports the upload of users' files.

Thank you for taking the ti me to check it out. I look forward to hearing your feedback. You can access the service by visiting this link: https://audionotes.ai 🙏

Good call on your part, this is especially useful information to have taking the practicality of this tool into account.

At the same time, I think this thing still has a chance to shine primarily due to the accuracy of a lot of these services and how they function. Would be surprising if it could beat Google at such a feature but from my own experience the voice typing in Google Docs isn’t very effective, a lot of the time it’s stilted or slow and ultimately makes you want to type instead of speak.

I’m not sure what improvements have to be made performance wise or how to increase the accuracy and speed of such a thing, but the room is still there for an idea.
