Loved the episode.
I want to give a shout out for Spokenly as a dictation app as well, is free with local models and has a BYOK option.
One other question though, dictation on the Apple Watch. If I am a bit hesitant to splurge on Whisper Memos, what’s the best alternative?
Do you have a good shortcut to share @beardfm?
Hey! You can use a Shortcut like this on Watch to dictate Apple Notes. Unfortunately Apple Intelligence doesn’t run on watch so you can’t get summaries, etc: Shortcuts
Bear Notes also offers voice capture, and the Capture app which I’ve been really enjoying: Quick Notes - Capture App - App Store
Thank you!
Do you know if the Capture app offers any «post processing» to clean up/structure dictations from Apple Watch before storage/sharing?
Connecting an agent to your data is inherently dangerous, regardless of the supposed safeguards in place.
I’m astonished at the recommendation of connecting your email to a external bot when email remains at the core of communication, service login and password reset. Even though Passkeys is growing email is still essential and the primary axis for those who want to hack accounts and steal identities.
