Scribe - An Obsidian plugin that places your voice notes right where you want them..with your other notes

This is a submission for the AssemblyAI Challenge : Sophisticated Speech-to-Text

What I Built

Scribe

Scribe is an Obsidian (an incredible graph based note taking application) plugin that not only records your voice and transcribes it, but answers questions with "Hey Scribe", summarizes what was said, pulls out insights and graphically maps out the main points.

Repo

Key Features

• Robust voice recorder
  • Handles network failures with grace
  • Has high compression for cloud storage
  • Doesn't lose audio files when something goes wrong
  • Can pickup from any audio file
• Voice to text raw transcription & formatting with AssemblyAI
• Summarize, get insights, and chart out what was said with ChatGPT (sorry not LeMUR - maybe coming soon)
• Clean and simple UI

Stack

Essentially the Obsidian app is the stack. It's an electron app with an extensive ecosystem.
Obsidian Dev Docs Here

I was able to leverage React along with the MediaRecorder Api.

Journey

This is something that I've wanted for quite some time. I've been trying several transcription plugins over the last year in Obsidian, but none of them do what I wanted. They were either fickle, save multi MB audio files, or were too basic.

Scribe is my attempt at solving for this.

May it be of use for you!

Thank you to dev.to, and AssemblyAI - it's an honor to submit something here.
