Audio books & Podcasts need audio notes
During my morning and evening commute I listen to audio books and podcasts. The problem I’m finding is that I cannot take notes or add bookmarks to reference later. Some podcasters have a transcribed version which is GREAT but by the time I get to a computer I’ve forgotten my idea/notes. What I am suggesting is audio notes dictation that can be attached to an audio file on the go.
To achieve this, all audio files would have to have an attached transcript. Transcripts can either be uploaded separately to the audio file or generated automatically. The idea is that as the audio book/podcast plays it is synced with the user’s audio file. If the user says a keyword like “note” it pauses the book/podcast and records a dictation that attaches to the appropriate spot on the timeline of the audio file and transcript.
This can either be saved with the audio or emailed for future use. The transcription is great because links can be added as an additional resource. The other benefit would be search-ability. You can search through not only all the audio files but your personally created audio notes as well. I think this is a good tool for audio books (educational) but for podcasts this would be an even GREATER resource.
Would this be useful for you?
