# I saw an app that does automatic transcribing of recordings. It also lets you import audio from elsewhere so I thought I'd give it a try with the latest episode of the microcast:
"I am calling and will cause a student film. We're in the middle of a little break why. I didn't think I was going to be. Doing an episode to die. And so I didn't have anything planned. But I was thinking before. Loosely hell. So being a white would affect. So have I posted in what I did the. I mean worried. Most of the way that I. It tends to cloak now."
And so it goes on! I don't think I'll be relying on it somehow.

# I've found a flaw with having a Milanese Loop watch strap: the magnet keeps getting stuck to the wrist rest on the MacBook ?
# I'm still undecided about which method of "last updated" indication I prefer. I might just leave it randomly switching between the two.
Sonant Thoughts - Episode 39: Fingers And Thumbs
Why don't I use traditional computers as much as I should? Why do I choose to use my phone so often even when sat in front of a laptop?
Is it convenience or design? Or is there another reason altogether?

# Good news! It appears that the unable to "Run Workflow" from the share sheet of Safari bug in iOS 11 is fixed in beta 4. It now works on the iPad I'm testing with. \o/
# In my admIttedly limited testing, iOS 11 beta 4 feels a lot more stable and responsive that previous betas bit I still don't want to put it on my phone. I think I want the experience to be quite new and fresh this time round.
Yes, I'll have had time with it on the iPad but, even though they run the same OS, the actual experience is different on the phone.
@colinwalker That's awesome.
Quick aside—one of the things all Japanese are taught during English classes is that Australians pronounce 'today' as 'to die'.
In my 2 years in Japan, whenever I met a local would they would say "Ah, Australian: 'I am going to hospital to die'".
@desparoz ?
@colinwalker I tried tis with Drafts, putting my iPhone 6 next to a speaker that played a German radio report, and Drafts did a pretty fine job. Of course, these radio people normally pronounce well, and normally there is only one person talking, so there shouldn‘t be too many mistakes :)
@kulturnation Yeah, Drafts is pretty good at it but this was an app supposedly designed for exactly this purpose ?
@colinwalker I understood, just wanted to mention that it doesn‘t need all these new & shiny apps when you have Drafts :D But of course, if this app would transcribe faster than realtime or more than one recording at a time, it would be interesting if reliable.
@kulturnation I was looking at it because it gives you both the audio and the transcript which could be useful rather than just dictation but, agreed, pointless if unreliable.
