Storing audio files #794

It would be better instead of writing a lot about the task, user can record nd attach a audio file. I think this feature is missing in many similar apps.

kilo1234 commented 3 years ago

if given a chance, I would like to work on this feature.

Hi there, you can already:

dictate text with speech-to-text features of Android itself (or reimplemented by many keyboard apps)
store externally generated audio file
use built-in recording feature (picture)

You mean something different?

kilo1234 commented 3 years ago

we can add a feature to convert the text in the image, that we capture using camera to plaintext using google vision API.

Though this feature is feature is not related to audio files still we can implement this feature.

federicoiosue commented 3 years ago

Ok, now I got it.

If you want you're free to work on that but there are a couple of things to pay attention to:

The FOSS version of the app would not get advantage of this (due to closed source nature of the APIs you're mentioning) unless you implement a sort of "facade" that routes this feature to an open source library like done here using this external library.
You should also add unit/integration tests as stated into the README to provide solid code.

Thanks for your contribution!
