Voice Memo for OS X: Remind yourself about the future of urgent problems!
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Certainly the majority of Mac users installed or another application to remind you of some things. Standard app from Apple - also not a bad option. But do you really help these programs? How often, when notifying you click on "Add to Wishlist" button? If as often as I do, then it's time to think about changing the program so as not to postpone the case indefinitely. Given an order to find exactly the application, which could induce to action in the notice, I began to consider options. And it seems to have found that. Voice Memo - a non-standard implementation of reminders with your voice.
Yes, you have correctly understood the name: Voice Memo - This small application that allows you to add reminders voice. And no, the program does not translate audio into text, it is precisely the recorder.
Most likely, and now there is another question: "And what do I recorder with reminders?". No powerful or interesting functionality of the application can not boast - that's a fact, but what is the essence?
And the essence, in fact, is simple: motivation. Often, holding up a reminder in certain cases, over time, we reduce their significance. And the more time passed from entering reminders, so small it seems. In this case, the Voice Memo will help us to realize how poised list was important, and will not put the next task "for later".
No magic there. In many ways, all still depends on you and how it is you set yourself a reminder. Here is a simple example.
In two months I will have a large collection, for which you need to prepare a different material. Collection of such material and its preparation will take me about a week, and then set a reminder in advance little better - a half months before the event. I add plain text and reading a note in six weeks, I probably would have started it a couple days put off, and then deciding that all have time to prepare and for a shorter period, it would have disabled absolutely. Another thing, when I add a voice memo on what the problem I need to solve, but at the same time remind yourself to future, that it can not be postponed, as the material on the subject is extremely small and the search may take a very long time.
You see what I'm getting at? Notification of a la "The materials for the meeting" two weeks before the term is not so motivated, how suddenly appeared window that sounds own voice: "Dima, start to collect materials now. They are few! Will postpone - will not have time to date. And do not postpone the reminder! ". And the more convincing when you write, the greater the effect will achieve later. The main thing - to remind yourself of what threatens to non-fulfillment of certain obligations.
As for the disadvantages applications - is, as always, the price. 169 rubles for a simple (and, admittedly, not all effective) application - too much. Nevertheless, I still would advise to add a Voice Memo to your shopping list and wait for the price reduction.
