DnD Transcriber and Notetaking app

Hi, if this isn’t allowed feel free to remove, no worries.

I’m a DnD player with ADHD and one thing I’ve always struggled with is taking notes while actually staying engaged in the game.

About a year ago when I moved away and was playing over Discord, I built a small bot to transcribe sessions so I didn’t have to constantly switch between listening and typing. It worked pretty well at the time.

Now I’m back to in-person sessions and realised… my note-taking is still terrible

So I picked that project back up and went a bit further with it. I ended up building a small web app where I can upload session recordings (or transcripts), and it turns them into usable notes I can actually follow between sessions.

It’s kind of grown into more of a companion tool than I originally planned.

I’m not trying to promote anything or sell it (it’s free and just a fun project), but I was curious if something like this would actually be useful to other players/DMs.

If anyone’s interested in trying it or has ideas/feedback, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing them.
