I use this as a notebook I carry around all day. It is great. The 5th star will come when developers program and add some additional capabilities and software changes specifically for recording, saving and sorting daily activities and thoughts. Perhaps even specialize models for various groups of occupational and social/disability needs.

I've been using this a few days and I'm very pleased with how it works. It doesn't stop and make you restart. It is quick to get started, no waiting for a connection. It continues to listen even when you pull up the keyboard, allowing you to truly dictate. A fast and easy way to take notes or work on a writing project. No glitches - I love it.

Excellent voice dictation. Much better than Google's "Google Voice typing" on Android and the why is based input into the Google's G board keyboard. Both these keyboards are suitable for a single language set at a time. If multiple languages are enabled the detection methods up and throws rubbish without accurately detecting the language of speech and recognising all text. In Voice Notebook, there is a drop down right on the main screen to select the language. Detection too works far better.
