Steal This Idea: Voicemail → Transcription → Notes
Here’s an idea you can steal…
First, some context:
I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks when I’m in the car. Unfortunately, despite having CarPlay, it’s difficult to take notes using dictation.
Sure, I could use the siri integration with the Apple Notes app, but it’s not great. I then also have to transfer my notes from Apple notes into Notion, my preferred note-taking application.
Beyond that, it doesn’t even work very well. The CarPlay dictation feature stops if I pause for more than a few seconds. This doesn’t allow me to fully formulate my thoughts. Even if an integration were to be released for Notion or Drafts (the app I use for dictation), it would still likely time out.
So, here is my better solution…
There should be a service where I can sign up, call a phone number, and leave a voicemail.
After I hang up, any reasonably good AI should be able to transcribe my voice into text.
Then, I should have the option of having my transcription emailed to me, or integrate it with Zapier or other note-taking tools.
Ideally, this would be priced on a consumption basis rather than, yet ANOTHER, subscription. Or maybe a reasonable combo like $1.99/mo for 5 minutes of transcription, than $1 per minute after that.
Go forth, build it. I’ll be your first customer.
