Phone & Dropbox setup

TAD (Transcribe, Analyze, Do) turns your voice notes into transcripts, action items, and insights. After you sign up and connect Dropbox, the pipeline picks up audio from your Dropbox and transcribes it. Here’s how to get recordings from your phone into the right place.

1. Choose a recording app

Use an app that can save recordings directly to Dropbox. We recommend:

On iPhone, use any recorder that can export or save files to Dropbox (e.g. via “Share → Save to Dropbox” into a folder you use for this app).

2. Connect the app to Dropbox

In the recording app’s settings, link your Dropbox account and choose where to save files. The pipeline looks for audio in:

If you use a different app or folder, you can set custom “audio locations” in your account settings (when that’s available).

3. Where transcripts go

Transcripts and analysis are written back to your Dropbox, in the folder you chose at signup (e.g. Daily_Transcripts). The pipeline also syncs action items to Google Tasks if you connected Tasks at signup.

4. What gets transcribed

New .wav or .mp3 files in your configured audio folders are picked up automatically. Files that already have a matching transcript are skipped. Processing usually runs on a schedule (e.g. every 15 minutes); allow a short delay after uploading.
