I’ve been toying with some new environments for interacting with audio in one’s wiki recently, and I’d love to get some perspective on how others are interacting with sound in their wiki

I am not doing it in my wiki so far, but I have a very good recording app on my phone where I record voice memos and want to import them in bulk as text after transcription, then expect to turn each into a tiddler and classify them as note, instructions, todo or idea as an example.
- I have not yet found a good workflow.
Hmm, sounds a bit like how I have a python script I run that takes the .txt file my tablet’s annotation system exports, strips it of noise, and creates .json files with all my notes that I import. 
It reliably applies all the tags and fields that I’ve indicated, but commander is also a lifesaver for a big import like that.
I just run that whenever I finish reading a book.
Where i can find this plugin? It looks exceptional!

Am I misunderstanding what’s happening in the demo? Because I see audio data (which likely was text data before) being converted to text data. Such a waste of resources, it’s getting worse than with food 
It’s not quite ready for public testing yet, but I’m anticipating maybe another month or so before people can hop in.
It consists of
- A podcast player widget
- A sound effects studio that allows one to trigger audio snippets from buttons and whatnot
- Annotation widget that allows one to pause the audio long enough to capture a timecoded note
- The Waveform editor, seen above, which allows one to do a final edit on that audio note, setting the timecodes and whatnot.
So far it’s working fairly well for me, which got me wondering about how other people are currently interacting with audio in their wiki.

Bump, I’d be interested to play with it too
I have hundreds of voice notes on my phone with the great and free “Dolby on” app. I would love to bulk convert each to a tiddler with the voice translated to text (eg ChatGPT can), perhaps embedding the audio in a related tiddler.

Not a lot.
Mostly playing audio files.
Dynamic capture / convert, I can see, is well possible in a few ways.
So far I don’t need that luxury & haven’t dabbled it much yet.
Nonetheless it could be useful to document your thing.

Voice typing into a tiddler on my phone. The TWs are empty and don’t have passwords and don’t need to be saved. But Tiddlers are immediately exported. Random names may be given and renamed later.
Play audio notes on the phone and voice type to the PC.
Save audio in .OGG. Files are very small.
Tiddlers can be exported to HTML. HTML can have multiple images, text, audio files, movies, etc.. And they can have titles that are different from the titles of the media. For example: “Thoughts On Shop Re-Location“. ←- This as opposed to “2026-04-19-1653.mp3“.
Stand-alone HTML are easier to access. You may preserve the recordings as well as have a text transcription.
