Echosnap Ai▲62Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer and I’ve been working on a small tool called Echosnap AI. I built it because I often get ideas while I’m walking or doing something else, and speaking always felt like the fastest way to capture them. Echosnap lets you record a note and instantly get a clean transcript. It can also translate your recordings and help you stay organized with tags and folders. I tried to keep the app as simple and minimal as possible. This is my first time sharing something on HN, so any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out.

...because Apple make it too hard to navigate chronologically through anything but your photos. Really they should have let you do this directly from voice memos so that you can share whenever and to wherever you want. If anyone has any suggestions to make it better, let me know. Thanks.

I was looking for a push-to-talk tool that allows me to just paste my speech transcription automatically into whatever application I'm using. I wasn't able to find anything simple enough that works, so I built my own. For now, it's just a basic CLI that works on Linux only using whisper.cpp. It is incredibly simple. You hold down the buttons, say stuff, release and then it will pipe the transcription lines to stdout. I'm using it to write this comment :)
