Show HN: Transcription and summarization. No app, no account. Just a phone call
1 points by mjstahl 538 days ago
Good morning.

My name is Mark. I am the creator of Hello Notes.

I get a lot of ideas pacing my house, taking walks, etc, but for a developer I have severe app and subscription fatigue. I created a service that turns the device I talk to the most into a transcriber.

Here's how it works:

* You call +1 (435) 562-9028 * You will hear a brief message telling you what to do and expect and how much time you have remaining (60 minutes to start with). * You hear a beep. Start talking. * Hang-up and you will receive a text message (the shorter the recording, the quicker the text message comes) with 3 keywords and a link to the transcription and summarization.

Paying for the service is also simple; a Stripe Link page that requires a phone number. This adds time to the phone number provided. That time never expires.

With LLM's, summarization and transcription are commoditized but the user experience is not. I wanted the facilitating technology out of the way so that I could quickly get access to the thing I wanted to do; transcribe what I say and provide me a summary including any action items.

If you decided to give us a call. I thank you for your time. Have a great day.

Is there a free sample, like transcribing 15 or 30 seconds?
Yep sure is. Just call the number. Everyone gets 60 mins for free.
Sorry. I thought it was one of the shady sites that let you record for 60 minutes for free, but to get transcript you must enter the credit card. (60 minutes fells like a lot of time for a free try.)
