Just ridiculous that you have to dial a number to make a note…just silly…

What about Dragon? Is there any way to make that play well with Evernote? I have experimented with it on my iPhone and it is amazingly accurate.

I tried this service as well. Not very reliable. too expensive. If I want to transcribe a voice note, DragonDictate for iphone works a LOT better and it’s free. you can dictate in to DragonDictate and then e-mail it to your Evernote account.

Sorry, I clicked on the Dial2Do Developer link at the top and the register link shows pricing for Dial2Do not voice2note. Their site doesn’t have a Products link to show their other offerings. Thanks for the clarification.

I tried using this several months ago. Unfortunately it is quite unreliable and doesn’t always pick up and transcribe audio recordings. It would be a handy service if it was reliable, but unfortunately it is not. I’ve re-authorized the connection between Voice2Note and Evernote several times. If it becomes reliable, then I would use it again as I find it handy to dictate my daily tasks on my morning commute and have them transcribed on Evernote when I get into the office. It’s not worth paying any money for at the moment.

Google Voice.
It’s not perfect but it is free.
Have it send notes from your phone onto your evernote mail drop via gmail.

It won’t put an actual audio file into evernote, but simply a link back to google voice.
This is more of a hassle to manually fix it up later on, but on the other hand it also works for evernote free users if you just leave it as a link.

At least that is how it worked when I was playing with a few months ago.

Based on the Voice2Note’s registration site, the price breakdown in the post is accurate: https://voice2note.dial2do.com/register

You can also record audio notes using a phone or Evernote on your mobile device, PC or browser. More info in their FAQ section: http://voice2note.dial2do.com/faq

The App information at the top is misleading. The Basic level is only free for a 30 day trial and is 2.49/Mo or 24.99/Yr. The Pro level is 5.99/Mo or 59.99/Yr. The Evernote linkage is only available at the Pro level. The platform is only Android or Blackberry currently although others are promised. I’m not sure if the pricing changed since your article or it was just an oversight.

I’m with Darnell on this one 100%. 30 seconds is not enough for a paid service; its why I dropped Jott. I tried using SoundNote for iPad, but it limited my retrieval options which are great on Evernote.

So, Voice Notes for Evernote are still the best thing out there, but being able to have them transcribed, even on a pay-per-use pre-loaded basis ($X.00 for ten notes, up to maximum EN length) would work for me.

Elephant love to all.

I would pay for Voice2note if it were not for the 30 second limitation.

I’m still waiting for a full fledged transcribing service, although I guess for now I’ll just keep listening to my audio notes and writing details what its about underneath.
