`audio-notes-mode' is a way to manage small audio recordings that you make in order to record thoughts. After much struggle, I finally decided to stop trying to make speech recognition work from my phone. Instead, I decided to just record audio notes, and I wrote this package to automate the process of playing them back at the computer. I found this to be even faster, because I don't have to wait and see if the speech recognition worked and I don't have to repeat the message 1/3 of the time. A tasker profile (which records and uploads these notes) is also provided at the github page. The idea is that you sync voice notes you record on your smartphone into a directory on your PC. But you're free to use it in other ways. When you activate this mode, it will play the first audio note in a specific directory and wait for you to write it down. Once you're finished, just call the next note with \\[anm/play-next]. When you do this, `audio-notes-mode' will DELETE the note which was already played and start playing the next one. Once you've gone through all of them, `audio-notes-mode' deactivates itself. ; Instructions: INSTALLATION Configuration is simple. Require the package and define the following two variables: (require 'audio-notes-mode) (setq anm/notes-directory "~/Directory/where/your/notes/are/") (setq anm/goto-file "~/path/to/file.org") ;File in which you'll write your notes as they are played. Then just choose how you want to activate it. 1) If you use `org-mobile-pull', you can do (setq anm/hook-into-org-pull t) and `audio-notes-mode' will activate whenever you call org-mobile-pull. 2) The second options is to just bind `audio-notes-mode' to some key and call it when you want. (global-set-key [f8] 'audio-notes-mode) If you installed manually, first require the feature with: then use one of the methods above.
