Otter Talks to Roam E536
Amazed to see how transcripts from https://otter.ai fold directly into https://roamresearch.commade a two minute clip inside Otter and as I drove into 4G connectivity, my spoken audio uploaded to Otter in the background.When I sat down at my laptop 20 minutes later, I watched the transcript of the audio clip drop into my Roam Research knowledge graph. This elegant connectivity of services will be a big enhancement to my daily notetaking and a major boost to my work with Open Education Resources. As you can hear from one of my Topgold Audio Clips, I want to give props to JavaScript developer David Vargas and to supporters like Jordan Burton and Dave Prout who made this happen.For John Tierney (one of the five regular people who read my blog), this is Otter, JavaScript, and Roam Research all connecting complementary pieces of technology to provide a unified system for processing. This sort of service would be a valuable part of the toolkit for field researchers. And when integrated to part of a daily review process, these connected services would help ensure that no good ideas will get lost.

Otter And Roam #digped E535
I like https://otter.ai and https://roamresearch.com and think Liam Daly https://twitter.com/eolai would too.Let's hashtag this episode as #digped (for digital pedagogy) because it's something I think ought to be considered by all teachers. I'm talking about live transcription of ideas that may connect to a story arc or that may become a publication. I like methods that allow you can to simply talk and appear to be more intelligent than you are. I like things that allow you to listen and then to harvest thoughts by connecting ideas that you didn't think related to one another. And I do these things using https://otter.ai to talk where my words--like the ones I'm speaking now-- become words on the screen, in addition to words in your earbuds. Otter.ai does that. For you, Liam Daly aka https://twitter.comeolai, https://otter.ai would take the lovely journey you made around Ireland during a cycling painting tour and would make ideas you express in the comfort of your own studio into segments. Then they could become chapters which you could fold into a book. It's a pretty easy and straightforward process. You already have notes that are logically organized by time, or by venue, or by the color of the sky, or by the color of a wheel, or by a bicycle adventure. And you already have these concepts inside Evernote, or inside storage locations with pictures. Your word pictures are ready to be expressed. https://otter.ai can take what you say about the pictures you have or the thoughts that you've considered and make them into easily readable text. I don't know why https://otter.ai is so good. I just know that what what you're hearing me speak now can be transcribed with better than 90% accuracy by the https://otter.ai transcription service. So I'm all-in as an advocate of the https://otter.ai transcription service. And I actually think I should pay for more than 60 minutes a month, but I don't use the full free tier plan that they give me. As I start a new school year, I want to connect https://otter.ai to Microsoft Teams for the learning program that we have at the Limerick Institute of Technology. That's what I want to do. So how about you? Where are your notes kept? In the case of a conversation I had with Liam Daly during a Dalkey Open session on Zoom I learned that Liam has a lot of things inside Evernote. I've got a lot of things scattered in different systems--OneNote Google Drive, and now Roam Research. If I have the discipline to take what I'm thinking about, like right now, I'm thinking about digital pedagogy, it's a hashtagged piece of content, part of a database I have inside of Roam Research--if I take what I'm saying now, produce the text, and then also upload the audio file you're listening to into Roam Research, a year or so from now, when I'm talking to colleagues about how they do their business, of producing information people can read, that people can listen to, that people can view, I can say, "Hey, what about this idea? Take the notes you have in your mind, or the notes you have in front of you on a screen or in a paper and talk about them in a way that someone wants to listen. Give it a little little structure, give it a story arc, give it a certain kind of hero's journey with what you're saying. And then let the surface that the artificial intelligence. Take what you're saying and make it into text." And then perhaps illustrate it with screen grabs or with simple words or with pull quotes. What I do now is I make these episodes available free in a syndicated way you can listen to on Spotify and any other network. You can also go to the Spreaker app and see images corresponding to everything I talked about. It is all part of the Topgold Audio Clips that I make. You can see more about what I do with https://otter.ai and with https://RomeResearch.com and with digital pedagogy by following Topgold on all good social networks. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
