Voice memo to text converter that turns rambling into tidy notes
Voice memos are the fastest way to catch an idea while walking or driving, and the slowest to use later. Send yours to your todo.is agent, even straight from WhatsApp or Telegram, and it writes out what you said, tidies it into clear notes and pulls out the to-dos and dates.
The prompt
- Transcribe the voice memo(s) I am sending: [ATTACH OR FORWARD THE VOICE MEMOS]. Write [OUTPUT STYLE]. Keep my wording where it matters but remove ums, repeats and false starts. Pull out every to-do with any date or person I mentioned, and list them at the end. [WHERE TO SAVE]. If I mention a meeting time, ask me before adding it to my Google Calendar.
What to change
- [ATTACH OR FORWARD THE VOICE MEMOS]: Attach iPhone Voice Memos (M4A), Android recordings, or forward voice notes to your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- [OUTPUT STYLE]: E.g. "clean notes with headings", "a draft email to my team", "a journal entry" or "the exact words".
- [WHERE TO SAVE]: E.g. "send it back here", "email it to me", or "keep adding to my Ideas note".
