Summary

Obsidian is a powerful note-taking app that allows users to create a "second brain" for storing thoughts, plans, and general notes. One of its core plugins is the Audio Recorder plugin, which enables users to record audio for quick voice notes. To make these audio notes more actionable and searchable, Deepgram transcription has been added to the community plugin by Jason Maldonis. The integration allows users to transcribe their audio notes into text format within Obsidian. Setting up this feature involves installing the Audio Notes plugin, obtaining a Deepgram API Key, and configuring settings such as language, model tier, and keywords for context understanding. Once set up, users can record audio notes, save them with transcriptions, and edit or correct the transcriptions if needed.
