VoiceNotes : Dictate Your Notes and Reminders

 One of the common things that people do regularly is taking notes and reminders

Recently I launched Voicenotes app for android.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yogpatri.app.voicenotes

For the bare minimum I want the app to do the following

- Add notes and reminders quickly and efficiently

- No intrusive full screen especially no irritating video ads with full sound

- 400+ languages and accents for dictation

- Voice commands like next line, next paragraph etc


Add notes and Reminders Quickly and efficiently




In the best case just click the add reminder button, speak your reminder, choose today/tomorrow and time from 8 am, 1 pm, 5 pm and 9 pm and its done.

Non intrusive ads

I personally don't like full screen ads especially the video ones which start playing at full sound.
I understand that developers have to earn and these ads pay the most but as a user I hate it if my screen is getting covered every 30 seconds. So I will be using simple banner like ads which won't get in the way of user's work.

400+ languages and accents for Dictation

I speak hindi and I want to dictate my reminders in hindi only most times. Even when I am dictating in english. I prefer Indian English above US english.
So I have given a list with 400+ languages and accents so you can dictate in language of your choice. Now android's speech to text may not be high quality for some of these languages but whatever. I have also given a filter so that you can simply filter and don't have to scroll the whole list

Voice Commands
I have added Voice commands like new line, next line, next paragraph, delete etc.




Delete will delete the last word. deleting one character at a time was too slow for me, so I tried to experiment with deleting one word at a time rather than deleting a single character.


I am looking forward to you using the app and if you do please given me opinions on what you didn't like and what needs to be improved or added at contact@yogpatri.com
