Log your reading by talking
You can run your library by speaking to it. Say you read to page 140 and it logs the session against the right book; say you have started something new and it is added; ask what you were part-way through and it tells you. Six spoken intents are supported — status, add, recall, book info, finish and debrief — and the app matches what you said against your actual library rather than making you name things exactly.
Available on iOS.
Typing a page number into a form is a small friction that happens every single day, which is the kind that decides whether a habit survives. Speech removes it.
The hard part is not transcription but interpretation: working out which of your books you meant from half a sentence. Matching against your own library is what makes that possible, and it is why a spoken command works where a generic assistant would ask you to be more specific.
What it can't do
- This is in the iOS app.
- It works from your own library, so a book you have not added has to be added first — which is itself one of the six intents.
- Noisy rooms degrade transcription like any speech feature.
Questions people ask
- Can I log reading by voice?
- Yes, in the iOS app. Six spoken intents cover logging a session, adding a book, recalling what you were reading, getting book information, finishing a book, and a completion debrief.
