Is anyone else on HN doing this and are there any tips you can share? Specifically, software and processing.

Would love to learn more.

I just had a look on the Play store for a voice recording app and came across "Live Transcribe" by "Research at Google".

It's ridiculously good at picking up and transcribing my voice.

Is it me or is there no way to store the transcript? Looks to me like it doesn't even allow basic copy and paste.

Same here, maybe it's cause it's in beta right now but even that logic doesn't make much sense

Yeah. I can't find anyway to save the text either. Looks like the app is targeted towards deaf/mute people when looking at accessibility features it includes (e.g. phonecall texting).

It would be cool if they added a way to save text (and audio) though.

Writing by speaking has quietly revolutionized how I work. It has made my writing more conversational and less precious

I beg to differ.

I mean a new physical method for the painstaking task of chiseling the formless geologic schists inside my brain into words and sentences crisp and coherent enough to please at least a few of my fellow human beings.

Reads like someone tried to put his feet behind his head mid-sentence.
