Then when I’m hit with a flash of brilliance (smile), I just press record knowing that the ideas will be ready for me the next time I need them.īuilding a business is hard enough but I’m finding the more time I take to create these types of processes, the more efficient I become. Now when I’m driving, I just make sure I have the DropVox app open. TIP: Have your assistant also tag each voice memo transcription with a specific tag in Evernote just in case you have trouble finding it through the regular search (mine is “transcription”). That way if you ever need to listen to the original recording again, you can easily find it. One other thing I would suggest is to ask your assistant to also list the Dropbox link to the original recording at the bottom of each transcription. So because of that, I wanted the transcriptions also added to my account so that I could easily search/find them (or any content within each transcription). However, Evernote has become my digital brain and it’s the tool I use to organize my ideas. It's an ideal practice tool for musicians and dancers. – Step #3 – Add The Transcription To Evernoteįor some people, this step may not be necessary because you could easily add the transcribed files to the same Dropbox folder (which I also do as a backup) or even just have them emailed to you. From the makers of the award winning Just Press Record comes Perfect Tempo, the only app which lets you speed up or slow down over 50 million songs on Apple Music, as well as your iPhone’s Music Library, without affecting pitch. That way my assistant knows what I’d like the title of the memo to be. TIP: When I record an idea, I try to first record the title of the voice memo, then leave a 2-3 second pause. Then all you need to do is “share” the Dropbox folder with your assistant, ask them to check it each day for new recordings and transcribe the files (they can find the latest files by clicking the “Modified” link to sort the files by recent activity). Then, it automatically uploads the recording to your Dropbox account and puts the audio file in whatever folder you want – I put mine in a folder called “DropVox” (you only have to select this folder the first time you use the app). There are many apps for recording your voice but this one keeps things ultra simple and does exactly what I needed it to do. The “secret sauce” of this process is the app called DropVox. – Step #2 – Download the DropVox App (works with iPhone and iPad) So for this “Voice Memo” process, you’ll need a Dropbox account and the free plan will definitely be enough storage to get you started. It’s free to setup a basic account which gets you up to 2GB of storage but I upgraded to their Pro account for $10/month because I use it a lot and needed more storage (which is still a bargain). I’ve tried many others like Box.com and Google Drive but the reason I continue to stick with Dropbox is because it’s so darn easy to integrate into other areas of my business. Here’s how to replicate this process: Step #1 – Setup a Dropbox AccountĭropBox is a web based service that I use everyday to store and share files. What’s even better is that when I need to reference these voice memos, I have an audio version, a text version and they are searchable as soon as I get back to my computer.
