Just started using pocket. I’m excited to see how it can help my productivity. I hope to us it in helping manage jobs, scheduling, material management, personal management, and all around organization.
My set up. Is on an android and plan on using my tablet as well.
One question: what’s the best way to help configure pocket for my needs? I assume it learns like all other Ai driven platforms.
One request: It would be nice to have a decent looking magnetic lanyard for it. Lets make it happen. Or a small Bluetooth mic that clips on with a decent range so I can keep pocket say in my truck while I walk a job with a client.
I’m just a user myself, far from expert but I’m learning fast, so going to take a stab at sharing things I’ve posted here and helping.
I personally don’t like the mag-safe ability because I don’t want to be holding my phone to record, so I have been holding my Pocket when talking, now I found a nice little bag and added a clip so I can hang it from my safety vest. Something along these lines may be of use to you? Mesh Bag I found - My post about it. This may work with your lanyard idea.
You mentioned making it do what YOU want it to do. So if you go into your phone app, click SETTINGS, then click SUMMARY, then click THEMES, they have a ton of unique templates pre made that work for many people. Uniquely for me and how I write my reports, I couldn’t find one just right. So I made my own Template that created something basic enough I can copy/paste while at my PC via app.heypocket.com into my Daily Reports and quickly move on with my day. Here is a link to a post I did previously on a reply about how I made my customized template. Here is a link to me attempting to help someone and I shared how I created my Custom Theme. Then you just go and click REGENERATE on a given recording/summary and choose the Theme of your choice to have it rebuild your original recording.
In regards to the Learning comment, Settings > Summary > Word Dictionary will be useful to you to correct certain terms and abbreviations you use when speaking as AI may think CALI means Canadian Ants Living Inside but you mean California.
Also regarding the Learning, you can see what its “learning” about you and even add to it’s database-brain its building about you in Settings > Summary > User Profile.
As for leaving the pocket in the car and walking with a blue tooth mic, that’s not reliable. More because of bluetooth capabilities in general in my opinion, even if Pocket had that ability. Think you’d be better off clipping the pocket to you somehow on outside of your clothing. Or if you utilize a clipboard when walking with clients, the Pocket is a magnet. Get a metal clipboard and click the pocket onto the backside of your clipboard and hit the record/start button. It will pick up everything spoken around you. With that, something to be concerned with back to your Bluetooth idea, many mics have the technology to prevent recording voices beyond a few feet away. That’s a positive feature in many cases for people as they only want their own voice, which is the exact opposite of what you are trying to do. Just tossing that out if PocketTeam comes back surprising me there is some sort of mic option I’m unaware of to ensure you buy the correct bluetooth mic.
Hope this helps a little or at least tweaks an idea to a solution for you. Good luck. Give the Pocket time and play around with the templates. I’m sure you’ll find it a benefit to your day.
