Hi,
When taking notes in everyday life, I’d like to do this :
Taking my android phone
Go to a dictating app
Dictating the note so the app writes it
Save the note
Convert it into an .md file
Move this file to my vault on my phone
Get it synced to all my devices (sync already working fine)
It’s a pretty big process so I don’t know where to start.
Do you have any ideas on how could I do that ?
Cheers,
matelon
Perhaps this won’t work with your setup but I use Dictation on iPad to just dictate straight into an Obsidian note (where it is then synced).
I tested it there on Obsidian for Android and it works fine, the only issue I can see is if you’re doing a lot of dictation, perhaps the Android built-in is not as good as 3rd party dictation software?
As mentioned by Crow, Android’s built-in isn’t up to the job … so …
EDIT: Using GBoard’s microphone input works remarkably better than I remembered. It also syncs the voice input language with the current GBoard language.
Speechnotes | app | web |
Speechtexter | app | web |
Both of the above apps let you share the transcription.
I shared it directly to my Android Mobile Obsidian app and had the choice of inserting it into the current open file or choosing a different file.
Thus there is no need to convert into “.md”
Both apps work offline(lower quality)
Their web versions:
Speechtexter also lets you share.
Speechnotes needs copying & pasting.
So now that it is in your Obsidian Mobile you would need to sync it to your Obsidian desktop version with syncthing, foldersync or such - great info here.
Personally I might do it the old-fashioned way 
thank you a lot for your help guys!
I will definitely use android dictation to write my notes directly into obsidian.
And thank you for sharing those apps I didn’t found this morning @ichmoimeyo !
