What screens does a voice notes app need?
A place to record, a place to read what was said, and a place to find it again weeks later. Recordings are captured in seconds and searched much later, so the home screen is really a finding tool.
Should a recording screen show a live transcript?
Yes. A waveform proves there is sound, and only the words prove the right ones are being captured, which is what lets someone keep talking without stopping to check.
What should an app do with a transcript?
Summarize it, pull the actions out of it, rewrite it, and translate it. Those four cover almost everything people want from a recording, and each produces a different document from the same audio.
How do I connect these screens to a speech model?
Paste them into Replit, Lovable, Claude Code, Bolt, or Cursor and name your provider, whether that is Whisper, Deepgram or your own. Your AI coding tool streams microphone audio out and appends the text as it returns.
