voiceliner VS obsidian-releases

If this is as simple as "Voiceliner generates Markdown that looks like X but I need it to look like Y" then please share some X/Y examples :) I can see that the app is open source and I literally just two days ago installed Easy Voice Recorder yesterday for similar reasons but this looks way better.

AFAIK, it is not a ready-to-use product. It could be used as recognition engine into apps. For example, you could try Voiceliner Github, that uses Vosk under the hood.

Voiceliner [android] | [video] requires you to hold down a speak button. I use it on my Android phone and on my Chromebook & save the .md file straight into the appropriate folder of my Android Obsidian vault.

Voiceliner is another option.

I discovered this one not long ago, and I think it would tick most of the boxes for your use case: https://a9.io/voiceliner/.

I will try Voiceliner app as a tool for quick capture while on the go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO9AD438czU https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner

I have discovered a new app: https://a9.io/voiceliner/ https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner But I have not tried it yet.

In response to u/thenattoo , I've used Voiceliner to record notes, export them to ASCII in my vault folder and, voila, they appear everywhere as well. Correcting the typos in the TTS step was such a PITA -- I don't know if it's a failing of Android's or Voiceliner's algos -- that I stopped using it. The workflow works pretty well except for the typos.

The hard truth is that having Friends is the answer to being comfortable in social situations.

If you don't have friends and are alone in a social situation like in a party or in the office. Then it is natural to feel social anxiety. Like imagine in a school lunch scenario, where people eat together in groups. If a person doesn't have a lunch buddy, then that person will naturally feel anxious. It is part of a human being's hard-wiring to be anxious when left out.

We only feel safe and less anxious when we belong in a herd or part of a group.

The good news is other people also are seeking social company especially in a social situation. Practical advice is to seek the friendship of the kindest people possible and to also be kind oneself.

For dealing with thoughts, one strategy is to get it out by writing typically. But the fastest way that I've found is to just use voice memo. Use the built-in Android voice recorder to talk and to record oneself. Then can use a service like otter.Ai to transcribe it from speech-to-text.

Voiceliner, https://a9.io/voiceliner/ is also another good app for voice memo.

The solution was already installed on both my computer and my phone: Obsidian.

> why does open source need to "win"

Open source does not need to win.

But your ability to be in control of your computer needs to be preserved. A proprietary fridge cannot control your diet, while a proprietary App Store can control what software you install on YOUR phone (unless you live in EU, hello DMA!). The tail wags the dog, so to speak. Proprietary software has also been shown to break user workflows or remove functions in an update while leaving users with no choice whatsoever.

One alternative to having open source win is to ensure software must come with a robust warranty and other assurances you expect from the things you buy. EU's CRA will make software vulnerabilities in WiFi routers covered by warranty, for example.

You can also ensure robust and interoperable data storage options. For example, https://obsidian.md/ stores all notes in Markdown, not holding the data hostage in case users will not like how future versions will work. GDPR actually has a provision for data portability (Art. 20), but it does not seem to have a requisite effect on the industry yet.

And until the above issues are solved, open source remains the best way to ensure that a software tail cannot wag your computer dog.

So I've had my fair share of personal websites and blogs. I have built them on stacks ranging from the most basic HTML and CSS, to hosted frameworks like Wordpress and Laravel, to the more modern single page applications built in Vue and React. For a simple content blog I think you can't go wrong with a Static Site Generator though. These days I am almost exclusively writing everything in Obsidian. Which is great because its all in standard markdown format. This allows for a really neat and easy content publishing workflow.

Consider making an Obsidian[^1] plugin, or writing to Obsidian-compatible Markdown files :)

Obsidian is a writing application created to allow for offline / private note taking in markdown format, in an interface that looks a lot like our regular programming IDE. It is very flexible, with a good collection of community plugins that you can use to customize Obsidian to your heart contents.

Obsidian support via our Obsidian Plugin

Thank you!

In the beginning, I used kognise'z water.css [1], so most of the smart decisions (background/text color, margins, line spacing I think) probably come from there. Since then it's been some amount of little adjustments. The font is by Jean François Porchez, called Le Monde Livre Classic [2].

I draft in Obsidian [3] and build the site with a couple python scripts and KaTeX.

Great job!

I played around with this on a couple of small knowledge bases using an open Hermes model I had downloaded. The “related notes” feature didn't provide much value in my experience, often the link was so weak it was nonsensical. The Q&A mode was surprisingly helpful for querying notes and providing overviews, but asking anything specific typically just resulted in less than helpful or false answers. I'm sure this could be improved with a better model etc.

As a concept, I strongly support the development of private, locally-run knowledge management tools. Ideally, these solutions should prioritise user data privacy and interoperability, allowing users to easily export and migrate their notes if a new service better fits their needs. Or better yet, be completely local, but have functionality for 'plugins' so a user can import their own models or combine plugins. A bit like how Obsidian[1] allows for user created plugins to enable similar functionality to Reor, such as the Obsidan-LLM[2] plugin.
