What apps are good for dictating long notes?? (self.Blind)
submitted by turbotub
I have a blind relative, he needs a good dictation app for his I - phone.
Siri takes notes but it's far from perfect. For example it saves the note after 2 seconds of silence, so you can't dictate long form.
Also the file structure and naming system is not great.
Any help very much appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: best one I've found is Just Press Record - used with Shortcuts it starts automatically. thanks all.

I think that the stand alone recorder will be best.

Since you mentioned it "has got to be pure Siri", you should know you can ask Siri to start recording a voice memo, and it will work just as if you hit the record button in the app.

yes, I know. the problem my relative has is that after 2 seconds of silence, siri saves the note down. he wants to be able to pause longer than that. siri notes is very good, but it keeps "taking control"...
We need a more stand-off, hands-off system..

Your relative may be doing this already, but if not here you go:
On the note’s app, or any edit field, tap on the edit button that is on the bottom right. This edit button will activate dictation; its not Siri.

I should've mentioned, he has very low dexterity, so basically it's gotta be pure siri....

Hi, a lot of people prefer to take audio notes, and the native iPhone’s app voice memos is an easy app to use with Voice Over. Otherwise, a stand alone recorder could be quite useful; the Olympus recorders are recommended.
