I’ve been using the app for about a month and it was extremely helpful.

4 stars due to some issues I listed below. Just as if you were dictating on a text box with your iPhone. Which means you have to say punctuation marks etc. It uses Apple's speech recognition functionality. This is totally the best app out there on the App Store. I am blind, and having this app around to transcribe long pieces of what I want to see without stopping, without interrupting i am currently thinking or what I want to see, it's totally awesome. I also like that the i WhatsApp is accessible with voiceover, as well as the iPhone app. I can record anytime I want to, From my watch, easily and quickly. I absolutely like the Apple Watch version of this app. Just a one time purchase, and you're good to go. This is the only apple I've seen that doesn't offer a subscription just to use their transcription features, or doesn't continue to ask you to purchase even more other software, or have annoying ads on it. I can just keep talking and talking, and when I'm done recording I can get a transcription of what I said. It seems silly, but it's totally awesome to have constant dictation working, Recording in the background even. I'm using it right now to write this review. But if I record a Just Press Record recording when my Mac is off, as soon as I wake my Mac later, the item appears in OF.I absolutely like this app. The only downside is that this only works when my Mac is on, because obviously automator and Hazel run on the Mac. I can record anything in Just Press Record on any device and it automatically shows up in OmniFocus’ inbox. Hazel is watching that other folder too, and when it sees the new file appear in the second folder, it creates a new OmniFocus inbox item with the Just Press Record mp3 recording attached. It also then trashes the dated folder that contained the mp3 recording. the mp3 recording itself) out of the dated folder to another folder (which I called “JPR2”) and renames the mp3 as well. Hazel watches the Just Press Record folder and triggers an automator workflow that moves the contents of any dated folder within it (I.e. When I make a recording in Just Press Record on any of my devices, Just Press Record creates a new dated folder inside the Just Press Record folder, within which is the actual recording. I achieved this using Just Press Record and a combination of Hazel and Automator. I’ll try to learn a bit more about Shortcuts after this first very small step. To make sure I don’t leave stuff there and forget about it, I have added a daily routine in OF to check if there is anything recorded that I should send to my inbox. On Watch, I still have to use JustPressRecord and then send the transcript manually to OF.

The text of the transcript is then sent to my OF inbox and OF opens so I can check if all went well. I just have to remember to switch to French in my head. Now I tell Siri “French for Omnifocus” and it brings up a recording widget.

I didn’t need to set up anything to choose the language because, for English, using Siri directly to add items to the OF inbox works fine. At first, I thought it was necessary to use the clipboard to send the transcript to OF but realized the text could go directly without passing by the clipboard. I managed to set up a Shortcut using the “dictate text” action that I didn’t even know existed. And has anyone already done this? Or is there a better way? So I’m wondering if this is the way to go. I use Shortcuts a bit for very simple things and I mostly copied them from the gallery. So I’m looking for another way, a fast and simple way, to send the transcript of my recording to OF. Great! But it is a bit of a hassle to do all this when the whole point is to get the task into my inbox without thinking much about it, and there is the risk that I might even forget to do it. I record my message either on my iPhone or my Watch and then, after opening the app on the phone, I can send the transcript to Omnifocus (and even set up the info for the action before sending). So I looked for something else and found the app JustPressRecord that works very nicely. It is a pain to change the language for Siri, and then change it back. No problem there.īut sometimes, for various reasons, I want to send a reminder or task to OF in French. I speak to Siri in English and when I’m away from my Mac I tell Siri to remind me of this or that in Omnifocus. I’m bilingual (English and French) and I use both languages all the time.
