I have always loved the idea of having dictaphone to capture those thoughts, tasks and plans that occur to one whilst out and about.
The problem I discovered soon after I bought one was that in public I felt like a dingbat talking into my little device.
I now use my mobile phone as a dictaphone and it serves this role superbly well.
- It is almost always with me
- I look normal dictating into a phone
- Thanks to shortcuts it is very quick and easy to record and save a message
I simply set the right shortcut button on my Samsung D500 bring up the voice note feature.
One that is open, simply press the OK button to start recording. Closing the slide (as one does to end a call) automatically saves the voice note.
I process the voice notes from the phone when I have a chance to add them to my todo lists. I can also Bluetooth them to my computer for processing during my daily or weekly reviews.
A superb and dignity saving hack.
