Quick Notes is a built-in feature that allows you to capture thoughts, ideas, and reminders using voice dictation. Notes are stored locally and can be easily reviewed, edited, or exported for use in other applications.

​
Quick Notes Feature

The Quick Notes feature transforms SlasshyWispr into a voice-powered note-taking tool. Simply dictate your thoughts, and they’re automatically saved with timestamps for easy reference later.
Quick Notes are perfect for capturing meeting highlights, brainstorming ideas, task lists, or any information you want to record hands-free.

​
QuickNoteEntry Structure

Update documentation. 
Schedule one-on-one with Alex. 
Prepare demo for client call."

​
Ideas and Brainstorming

Capture creative ideas as they come: 
"New feature idea: Add voice commands for navigation.

Research competitor implementations."

​
Quick Reminders

"Remember to follow up with customer support about 
ticket 1234. Client mentioned performance issues 
on mobile devices."

​
Best Practices

Use Clear Dictation: Speak clearly and at a moderate pace for best transcription accuracy.
Review and Edit: After dictating, quickly review notes to correct any transcription errors while the context is fresh.
Regular Export: Periodically export important notes to ensure they’re backed up outside of SlasshyWispr.
Organize by Topic: Consider using prefixes or tags at the start of notes to categorize them (e.g., “MEETING:”, “IDEA:”, “TODO:”).

​
Storage

Quick Notes are stored locally using the key slasshy-wispr-notes-v1 and persist across application restarts. Your notes remain private and are stored on your device.
Unlike dictionary terms and snippets, Quick Notes do not have a team/shared scope. All notes are personal and stored locally.

​
Privacy

All Quick Notes are:
  • Stored locally on your device
  • Never uploaded to cloud servers
  • Encrypted with your system’s security
  • Accessible only to you
  • Completely private and confidential
