Tip
Need some inspiration for daily notes? Dann Berg's Daily Note guide.
- Folder Structure:
Organize daily notes as follows:
- Daily Notes - 2024 - 01-January - 2024-01-10-Wednesday.md
Save audio recordings in the root directory with the format Recording YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.webm into the root of your Obsidian Directory.
This happens by default, make sure you are hitting record with your daily note open.
- Run the background watchdog script:
python3 -m voycejotr.watcher- With your daily note open, hit record and waffle way.
- When you are done, hit stop and the script will do the rest.
The script will:
- Transcribe voice notes each time a new file is created.
- Summarize the content and integrate it directly into the daily note.
- Identify and list tasks in the specified task section.
