Writing this post while walking

Right now, I’m trying out a new Obsidian feature. I think they just released an update that lets you add a widget to create a voice note. Once you tap on it, it creates a new note and you can dictate your voice into text.

The good thing about this is that you can put your phone to sleep while talking. Here’s how I do it: I put on my AirPods, and while walking from point to point, I turn on this feature, put my phone in my pocket, and walk and talk at the same time. The app does all the dictation for me. To outsiders, it looks like I’m having a conversation, but actually I’m writing this post with my voice. How cool is that?

I’m slowly becoming a fan of Obsidian, and I’m glad I made the switch from Notion. I recently looked at Notion again, and they’ve been trying very hard to push AI features right in your face. So I’m really glad I’m using Obsidian now. There’s still a lot to improve, but it keeps getting better. Thanks, Obsidian.
