My brain does not send ideas one at a time.
They come in groups. Fast. And my hands are never fast enough to keep up.
I have ADHD. I am blind. And I have lost more ideas than I can count.
I tried every transcription app out there.
Record buttons VoiceOver could not find. Interfaces I had to fight through just to start recording. By the time I got there the thought was already gone.
And every single one sent my voice to a server. (1/3)

I record business plans. Product ideas. Unfinished thoughts at two in the morning. I did not want to hand that to a cloud somewhere.
Nobody built something accessible, private, unlimited, and on-device.
So @mikedoise and I did.
It is called Perspective Transcribe. Hit record. Start talking. Everything stays on your device. iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac. No server. No limits. You can even chat with your transcripts afterward.
Earlier this week it broke. (2/3)

My whole mood shifted and I could not figure out why until I realized I had not captured a single thought the way I normally do.
It is not an app. It is how I function.
Getting close. Hoping this weekend if everything lines up.
