I'm not sure @BurningTreeC / @Flanc if the misunderstanding about iOS is on my side or yours, but the problem w/ using this plugin on that platform is not about voice (Siri works fine), but rather about file saving & sync; in that respect, neither Safari nor Chrome on iOS can do the job, for reasons i don't entirely understand, but will tell you what i know.
There are many cloud-based apps on iOS that use Siri, which you can then access from your desktop, and always be working on the same copy... But this is not possible with TW, so what's needed is a files-based solution that will sync to desktop via some cloud service, like iCloud or Dropbox. To that end: the only way i know how to do this is via the "Quine 2" app (a free download from the AppStore), which is purpose-built to do exactly this -and it does so beautifully. Indeed: to enable mobile access to the full range of different TW instances i am managing -each with its own unique config of plugins/ theme/ templates- i've got the whole lot in a Quine folder on my iOS desktop volume, and they all work in Quine 2 just as nicely as they do in TiddlyDesktop (my power-tool for administrating these instances) -with the exception of this Speech-to-Text plugin, alas, which fails in a different way on each, i.e.: - In TiddlyDesktop, the mic icon light up red and says "Recording started," but then goes dark and says "Stopped recording" in <1sec, w/o creating a new tiddler. - In Quine 2, the mic icon turns from grey to black when i click it, but nothing else happens after that. Now i can't begin to guess why this doesn't "just work" the way all these other plugins do in Quine 2, but i can tell you that this app has a sizeable and quite active user community <https://groups.google.com/g/quine-app>, in which developer Chris Hunt does a great job of responding to any issues that arise -and i would guess that he'd be as as interested as any of us here in the idea of bringing dictation capability to Quine 2. Tho i guess Android probably has more "pocket-share" than iOS in this TW community, let's face it: there's a whole lotta iPhone users out there for whom a mobile NoteTaking/ NoteMaking app *WITH voice dictation capability* would be a game changer indeed...So i really hope there's an easy way to get this wonderful plugin working in Quine 2! /walt On Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 6:18:35 AM UTC+1 BurningTreeC wrote: > We haven't tested it on iOS, but it should work there when Siri is enabled > > TW Tones schrieb am Dienstag, 10.
