Best use of Pocket?

Recording a long phone call, did a great job of identifying the two speakers, transcribing, and summary. Recorded a presentation to a Board meeting, again very good summary.

@Stephenp

the phone, that’s likely to be forgotten most times.

I know it’s still early, but there seem to be many, many issues. I have yet to see any details or my “memories” because every time I click a memory I get the message, “hang tight, we’re pulling out key points” but it never updates.

And it seems is y that I have to upload the files each night or morning, which takes a very long time.

I was hoping I could just hit record and say, “add dentist appointment to but calendar for 4 pm” or “remind me to call John tomorrow at noon”, but it doesn’t se

one thing i was hoping for is for me to reassign a speaker and than all the following or subsequent people would be changed - but that doesn’t seem to happen. As an example if i change [Person 1] to Jason - the next point still lists [Person 1] and there’s no way i can go through each conversation and correctly tag everyone. Once I change [Person 1] to Jason - the system should automatically change all [Person 1] in that conversation to Jason.

Hey @kp1 when you rename a Speaker X all instances of those speakers are already renamed if that’s something you are not seeing please gimme a message! I’ll check it out for you. Ideally what’s happening is the ai must have labeled the segment as a different speaker

My primary use is for Work meetings (zoom calls), and I am comparing meeting summaries from Notion, Granola and Pocket and so far Pocket is coming in at #3 in that list. I am still going to give it some time cause i think Pocket has the advantage of also using it for whiteboard sessions and in-person meetings (and I am rooting for the device!), but few things need to really improve:

1. The transcription itself is buggy, it is not going a great job in identifying different speakers and when transitions happen. I have limited time to manually correct the transcription each time.
2. The summaries have 10s of options, but i just want “Auto-detect” or “Auto-pilot” to work, pick the most suitable theme and give me a good summary (vs everytime I have regenerate and it seems like an experiment).
3. The summaries are not yet at quality where I can share with others (Granola and Notion do a better job at generating these summaries so far).

I’ve been using Notion for meetings for several months. I’ve found it has speaker identification issues for me. While it does recognize that there are different speakers, it has a weird habit in one-on-one meetings (my most common use) of reversing them. Honestly, I think speaker identification is a weak area in every AI transcription system I’ve tried. I, too, am rooting for Pocket to continue to improve in this area.

There’s a least one thread floating around on the best model/summary combinations. If you haven’t read it, you might want to.
