From a note or recording to my knowledge layer

The animation explains the architecture; no live actions are executed.

Corrections need to pass through my own ingestion.

reMarkable

• Handwritten notes

I take handwritten notes on reMarkable. Its desktop app provides viewing and export.

Plaud

• Voice memos and recordings

PLAUD records audio. Transfer to my environment can still depend on the PLAUD app and sync.

My own notetaker

• Conversations on the Mac

For conversations on the Mac, I am designing a notetaker connected to the same knowledge layer.

Desktop app + extraction

• Available content / export
• My text recognition

My processing needs to read the available note or export and link it to its source.

Audio import

• Export from Plaud
• My downstream processing

Audio import brings in the recording for the separate processing stages.

Live processing

• Process audio segments

The application organises successive audio segments and timestamps for processing.

Template + context

• Structure and enrich selectively

I want to choose a note format suited to the conversation. Retrieved background stays identifiable.

My knowledge

• RAG, graph and past decisions

My knowledge layer keeps sources and relationships for later questions.

Apple Notes

• Read, edit and use

Apple Notes is where I read the result. Corrections then need to return to my own processing.
