Welcome to the Smart Memos! This plugin integrates seamlessly with your Obsidian, offering an advanced, interactive way to transcribe and generate notes from your audio files. My goal is to enhance your ability to capture and understand information from audio sources, transforming the way you interact with and understand your information.
Getting started with the Smart Memos Plugin is easy. Follow these steps to install:
Note This plugin currently uses online openAI models to recieve and transcribe your voice memos. Looking to add Local AI Models in the near future. OpenAI's retention policy retains text up to 30 days, but does not retain any audio data.
Another Note: If you have the native record feature in Obsidian turned on, it must be turned off for audio to record using Smart Memos.
Once installed, the Smart Memos Plugin provides an intuitive interface to transcribe your audio files and generate notes.
Record smart memo
from the command palette (Ctrl + p
for Windows and Cmd + p
for Mac) to open the smart memos popup that'll automatically start recording. To import audio into a note, simply drag and drop an audio file into it.Smart transcribe
from the command palette. The plugin will transcribe the audio file and generate detailed notes. If you're speaking directly to Obsidian, you can select the "Smart Transcribe" button to transcribe what you've recorded.The Smart Memos plugin aims to revolutionize the way we capture and understand information from audio sources. By leveraging advanced AI models, the plugin can transcribe audio files and generate fully customizable notes, in-depth analysis, and idea expansion, freeing you from the tedious task of manual transcription and note-taking, while simultaneously expanding upon them to allow your two "brains" to work harmoneously.
The ultimate mission is to enhance productivity, ideas, and efficiency in note-taking, especially for users who frequently deal with audio sources of information or find it much easier to simply speak whatever is on their mind than write it all down. With this plugin, I envision a future where valuable information from audio sources doesn't get lost and is automatically integrated into your own, personalized way of note-taking.
Hello there! Name's Evan 😁
I'm a senior software developer/architect consultant, currently managing and developing data visualization tools for the CDC. I've been obsessed about what's transpiring with AI for the last 12-ish years, fully aware that it would soon completely change the world.
Inspired by Brian, the creator of Smart Connections, I started an AI consulting company called "Evan's Oasis." At Evan's Oasis, I audit business workflows for clients and recommend AI tools and practices that significantly enhance decision-making, productivity, and quality—while reducing the time and money needed to run a business.
