Capturing voice memos is extremely helpful and a highly used method of note taking. This has been true for a long time and the Amplenote public feature voting has it listed as a request with over 100 upvotes for some time now. In the last few years, audio not capture and transcription has become commonplace in many note taking apps. Though the implementation of it may vary, it's obviously a highly used feature.
I believe this is highly needed functionality in Amplenote as a core part of the app.
Examples of great implementation: Reflect, Tana
Use case examples include any situation in which speaking is easier than typing. Specifically:
1) The capture of thoughts and ideas when away from a keyboard in a way that does not require thumb typing and/ or, capturing with another app and then sharing it with Amplenote. Additional steps to capture ideas fully results in lost ideas.
2) The capture of conversations. It is not required to give users polished transcription, the simple capture of the text in a user's note taking app is extremely helpful.

I would highly appreciate having this functionality in Amplenote.
I’d write something like:
I strongly support this, but would love to see it extend beyond voice memos into a native AI meeting-notetaker capability: record in-person and online meetings, transcribe them, identify speakers, generate notes using customizable templates, extract action items, and save the finished meeting directly as a normal Amplenote note.
Amplenote already has the organization layer I want: tags, backlinks, tasks, calendar, Rich Footnotes, Jots, and project/person notes. The missing piece is meeting capture. I currently have to use an external meeting recorder and automate the resulting summary back into Amplenote. Native meeting capture would make Amplenote a complete notes/tasks/meeting productivity system.
