Initially, they were surprised by the range of ways people used the tool, including as a scribe at work and a journaling companion. However, over time, they found a personally effective use for Audio Pen as a reading companion. Instead of making cumbersome notes in Word documents, the speaker now reads a book chapter, makes a voice note summarizing their thoughts, and tags the book for easy organization. This method not only streamlines note-taking but also enhances the reading experience by allowing for easy revisiting of past notes.

  • 00:00:01
    when audian first launched I was quite
  • 00:00:04
    um surprised U looking at the number of
  • 00:00:06
    ways people were using it I didn't
  • 00:00:08
    expect it to be used in so many ways um
  • 00:00:11
    people used it for you know as a scribe
  • 00:00:14
    at work they used it as a journaling
  • 00:00:16
    companion they used it um to write the
  • 00:00:18
    academic papers Etc um for someone like
  • 00:00:22
    me um I work in an office all day so I
  • 00:00:24
    can't really talk to the mic um I wasn't
  • 00:00:27
    a power user um at least initially
  • 00:00:30
    um however a few months into um having
  • 00:00:33
    built audio pen that changed and I found
  • 00:00:35
    one use case that I I continue to use to
  • 00:00:37
    this day um and that is using audio pen
  • 00:00:40
    as a reading
  • 00:00:42
    companion um and it's become by far my
  • 00:00:46
    favorite way um to use the tool um so I
  • 00:00:49
    just thought I'd make a quick video to
  • 00:00:50
    sort of show you how I use it um and see
  • 00:00:52
    if you uh might find that useful as
  • 00:00:55
    well um it's actually quite simple um I
  • 00:00:58
    try to read um when I have the time and
  • 00:01:01
    um for instance right now I'm reading
  • 00:01:03
    I'm reading this book um it's about
  • 00:01:05
    money and the history of of the
  • 00:01:07
    financial system um and typically in in
  • 00:01:10
    in the pre- audio pen era I would um
  • 00:01:13
    read a book and you know make notes on
  • 00:01:14
    it um sometimes have a separate Word
  • 00:01:17
    document in which u i I'd save a few
  • 00:01:19
    notes that I wanted to remember uh but
  • 00:01:22
    that felt very cumbersome it sort of
  • 00:01:24
    broke my flow while I was reading um and
  • 00:01:27
    just made the process of of taking notes
  • 00:01:30
    uh sort of like a chore um with audio
  • 00:01:32
    pen that has changed um to my benefit
  • 00:01:36
    what I do now is I just read a chapter
  • 00:01:39
    and at the end of the chapter um I take
  • 00:01:41
    a a voice note um and I take a voice
  • 00:01:44
    note sort of detailing everything that
  • 00:01:46
    I've I've read so you can see this um at
  • 00:01:47
    the moment this is stuff that I've read
  • 00:01:50
    recently
  • 00:01:51
    um and I do this for all sorts of all
  • 00:01:55
    sorts of books um and then I tag each
  • 00:01:58
    book um with its name so for instance um
  • 00:02:01
    here have this is a book I read some
  • 00:02:03
    time ago um you can see all of the notes
  • 00:02:05
    with its um name and the Tag books there
  • 00:02:09
    as well um this is another book that I I
  • 00:02:11
    was reading at some point which I never
  • 00:02:13
    finished um but I have these notes for
  • 00:02:15
    whenever I restart um and this way it
  • 00:02:19
    sort of helps
  • 00:02:20
    me not just capture what was um in the
  • 00:02:24
    book or what sort of um called out to me
  • 00:02:27
    while I was reading but it helps
  • 00:02:30
    me revisit what I just read um and my
  • 00:02:34
    brain sort of does that first level of
  • 00:02:36
    filtration which I find very useful um
  • 00:02:39
    with all AI tools not just audio pen I
  • 00:02:41
    think it's important for our brains to
  • 00:02:43
    filter out what we want to remember
  • 00:02:45
    before we tell machines um to remember
  • 00:02:48
    it or rephrase it um or do whatever they
  • 00:02:50
    have to do with that information
  • 00:02:54
    um and yeah that's what I do I finish a
  • 00:02:56
    chapter I press record on my phone um
  • 00:03:00
    just record my thoughts around it I
  • 00:03:02
    sometimes use just the default setting
  • 00:03:04
    so you know free users can also can also
  • 00:03:06
    do that um sometimes I use a um a
  • 00:03:10
    writing style called booknotes which
  • 00:03:12
    just sort of gives me bullet points um
  • 00:03:15
    and occasionally sometimes I will create
  • 00:03:17
    a super summary um just by selecting a
  • 00:03:19
    book so let's say I selected let's
  • 00:03:21
    select one with more notes so I selected
  • 00:03:23
    this um if I wanted to create a summary
  • 00:03:26
    of of a couple of U Notes I could just
  • 00:03:28
    select them um and then create a super
  • 00:03:31
    summary here in whatever style I wanted
  • 00:03:34
    um this way it sort of
  • 00:03:36
    just helps me maintain a repository U of
  • 00:03:40
    notes across books that I read across
  • 00:03:42
    time um sometimes even if I'm reading
  • 00:03:44
    multiple books at a time not an issue at
  • 00:03:46
    all I can just revisit what I just read
  • 00:03:48
    um you know a couple of weeks ago if I
  • 00:03:50
    haven't finished a book yet and I'm
  • 00:03:51
    revisiting it I can just open audio pen
  • 00:03:53
    filter through to that book just with a
  • 00:03:55
    couple of TAPS um see what I wrote um
  • 00:03:58
    and then start reading again
  • 00:04:00
    um it's nice I wish I had more time to
  • 00:04:02
    read I don't but at least this way it
  • 00:04:04
    sort of keeps me on track um as far as
  • 00:04:09
    getting back to it is concerned um yeah
  • 00:04:13
    I I I assume a lot of people will also
  • 00:04:15
    find this um useful because a lot of
  • 00:04:17
    people also read it's not a very Niche
  • 00:04:19
    use case um and so yeah I mean please
  • 00:04:23
    please give it a try um let me know what
  • 00:04:24
    you think and um see you soon
