Easy Voice Recorder (EVR) vs Samsung Voice Recorder (SVR)
Native Samsung Voice Recorder also very nice, and is what I originally used, but Easy Voice recorder has a slightly better UX for my purposes.
Specifically when recording stops - SVR navigates to "recording list" app screen. Which I never really want because I don't want to listen to my recordings on the watch, and especially not after I just made one.
When the app is in that state - the flow can't be triggered again, until you navigate "back" to main screen.
So stopping the recording is actually 2 actions - tap the stop button and swipe back, which is a bit annoying. In part because I'd neglect to swipe back immediately a lot of the time, and then would have to do it next time I trigger the flow & that would ruin the fluency of starting it in just one action.
EVR, on the other hand, gets into the state to start a new recording almost immediately (after a brief confirmation screen).
EVR also has native cloud upload capabilities, which can be convenient for setting up further notes processing similar to what I do in Voice notes inbox process
SVR has native transcription capabilities, but they are not as good as using Whisper or similar (which is what I do)
Finally EVR is developed by a real human that I can talk to 😛
Which gave me hope that maybe I can request changes/tweaks to further optimize this flow.
That has been a mixed success so far - the support replied to my messages, but it's unclear to which degree is the app in active development, so I don't have a strong expectation for changes I requested making it through in the near future.
