We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.1 of our application. This update brings several major enhancements that improve your experience and streamline your workflow. Below are the key improvements and detailed descriptions of each new feature:

1. Format on the Go

• Overview:

Introducing a new "Format on the Go" feature for the note-taking experience. This capability empowers users to generate custom prompts dynamically while creating content within a note.

• How It Works:

– When editing a note, you can generate a new format prompt on the fly using AI-generated suggestions.

– Once the content is created according to the newly generated format, you are presented with an option to save this format permanently to your list of custom formats or retain it as a temporary, separate entry.

– For temporary prompts, you can later navigate to the Settings page, under the Custom Format subsection. A dedicated filter helps you display and manage only those formats generated on the go.

– This segregation enables you to edit, reuse, or permanently store these dynamic formats based on your preference.

• Benefit:

Increase your productivity by quickly creating and adjusting content formats without disrupting your workflow.

2. Enhanced Sidebar for the Notes Page

• Overview:

A redesigned sidebar on the Notes page adds an intuitive navigation experience.

• How It Works:

– The new left-hand sidebar is open by default and displays all your notes, folders, and sub-folders.

– Simply click on any note within the sidebar to load it on the right-hand side of your screen. The note area now rerenders automatically, ensuring smooth transitions between notes without the need to exit to the table view.

– An integrated collapsible (docking) icon on the left allows you to hide or reveal the sidebar according to your screen space preference. Click the icon to collapse the sidebar and reclaim your full workspace, and click again to restore the view.

• Benefit:

Enhanced navigation and a more convenient way to manage multiple notes and folders, improving your overall workflow.

3. Search Experience and UX Improvements

• Overview:

Several refinements have been introduced to improve the overall user experience on the search page and throughout the application.

• What’s Fixed:

– Resolved search experience issues that affected the clarity and performance of file and folder searches.

– UI/UX enhancements include resolving loader inconsistencies and ensuring consistent autofocusing during folder creation.

– Minor user experience tweaks have been applied to ensure a more intuitive and reliable interface across the application.

We are committed to elevating your user experience by streamlining workflows, enhancing navigation, and providing customizable options for content creation and communication. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to your feedback.

   • Improvement: The ability to view detailed previews by hovering over notes has been reinstated. This feature was temporarily unavailable in our last major release, but it has now been restored and enhanced for better user interaction.

   • Implementation: When you hover over a note on any road, especially in the My Workspace table, you will now see a summary of the note content. This summary provides a quick overview of the note's details without requiring you to open the note fully.

   • Benefits: This will enhance user productivity by enabling quick access to critical note information and facilitate better task management.

2. Hover Implementation on the Search Page:

   • Improvement: Similar to the enhancements in the My Workspace table, hover functionality is now active on the search page. Users can now quickly access note summaries while searching.

   • Implementation: When searching for notes, as you hover over each note, the first generated summary will be visible, allowing for a more efficient note review process.

3. Enhanced Navigation in Folder Structures:

   • Issue Resolved: There was a limitation during the move operation where users could not access the parent folder from the move sidebar if they were inside a sub-folder.

   • Fix Details: Users can now navigate to the parent folder while performing a move operation. Once inside the parent folder, users can select any available sub-folder to relocate their notes or sub-folders as needed.

   • User Guidelines: Simply click on the desired note or sub-folder that you wish to move. The move sidebar will allow you to browse and select from parent and sub-folder options seamlessly.

4. User Interface Improvements:

   • Enhancements: Minor but impactful tweaks have been made to enhance the overall UI experience. These adjustments ensure a more intuitive and visually appealing layout, aiding in smoother navigation and interaction.

We are confident that these updates will enhance your productivity and ease of use within our application. As always, we are committed to providing you with the best experience and welcome any feedback you may have.

Thank you for your continued support. We hope you enjoy the benefits of Version 1.8!

We are thrilled to announce the release of Speech to Note version 1.7 on 30th March 2024. This significant update brings forth new features and improvements to enhance your user experience. Here’s what you can expect with the latest version:

New Pro Plus Plan Feature: 60-Minute Recording Sessions

• Extended Recording Time: Users on the Pro Plus Plan can now record uninterrupted sessions of up to 60 minutes. This is a substantial increase from the previous limit of 15 minutes, addressing the demand for longer recording durations.

• How It Works: Our new credit-based system is introduced to manage extended recording sessions. With the Pro Plus Plan, you receive 150 credits every month. For recordings beyond the standard 15-minute window, additional credits are consumed at a rate that reflects only the time exceeding the initial 15 minutes.

  • Example: A 20-minute recording session will deduct only 5 credits (20-15), ensuring efficient credit usage.

Credit System Overview:

• Monthly Credits: Each Pro Plus user will have 150 monthly credits at their disposal which will reset at the beginning of each month.

• Longer Recordings: Unlimited standard recordings up to 15 minutes are still available. For extended sessions, the credit deduction is pro-rated, ensuring that users are charged only for the additional time beyond the initial 15 minutes mark.

• Lifetime Credits: Pro Plus users can purchase additional credits that do not expire. If monthly credits are depleted, lifetime credits will then be utilized.

Dashboard Enhancements:

• Credit Visibility: Users can now easily track the number of remaining monthly and lifetime credits directly from the billing section in the dashboard, along with a clear display of the total number of recordings.

• Simplified Navigation: The settings page has been optimized for user-friendliness. Users can access information about their plan and purchase additional credits effortlessly.

Usability Improvements:

• iOS Recording and Screen Timeout Resolution: Issues of screen timeout interrupting recordings on iOS devices and Progressive Web App (PWA) sessions have been rectified. The app now prevents the screen from going dark during an active recording session to ensure continuity and convenience.

• User Interface (UI) Enhancements: The landing page now features streamlined testimonials, improved mobile responsiveness, and an overall refreshed look for a more engaging user experience.

• Bug Fixes: Multiple internal bugs have been identified and resolved to provide a more stable and efficient app performance.

This update is underscored by our commitment to improving Speech to Note, making it more user-centric and adapted to your evolving needs. We eagerly look forward to your feedback on these exciting new changes.

We hope you enjoy the extended recording capabilities and the seamless experience our latest update brings. Happy noting!

Release Date: 12th March 2024

Version: 1.6

Introduction

We are thrilled to announce the release of version 1.6 of our Speech to Note application. With this update, we've taken the feedback from our users seriously and focused on improving the usability of the application by addressing key user interface (UI) issues. We believe these changes will greatly enhance your experience with the app.

What’s New

1. State Retention in Filters and Search

   • We have rectified a significant concern where users experienced a loss of state in the table after applying filters or conducting a search. Previously, navigating away from search results would reset filters and searches, causing inconvenience. This release ensures that:

     • The selected filters remain active, and filtered results are retained when navigating back to the dashboard.

     • The text in the search field, as well as the search results and any applied filters, are preserved upon return.

2. Enhanced Note Management

   • To provide a smoother workflow within the application, users can now:

     • Delete Notes: From the single note page, select "Delete Note" to permanently remove a note. Upon deletion, users will return to a refreshed dashboard where the deleted note is no longer visible.

     • Download and Print Options: The updated "Download Note" feature now includes the ability to download an MP3 file or print the note in PDF format, providing both digital and physical copies of the notes. The printable version will include the title, the summary, and the full transcript.

3. Updated Icon Set

   • We have completely overhauled the icons throughout the app to introduce a fresh and modern visual appeal. These new icons have been designed for clarity and consistency to improve navigation and aesthetic of the interface.

Resolved Issues

Alongside these new features, we addressed several minor bugs, both internally discovered and user-reported. These fixes aim to streamline the performance and stability of the application.

User Feedback

We truly value the feedback provided by our users, as it drives the improvement of our application. Please continue to send us your thoughts—both positive and critical—so we can keep providing an exceptional note-taking experience.
