I think that is what Einstein called daydreaming. Anyways, I was having an epic one last night I want to share. Going back on my thoughts that I wrote on somewhat the other day, “learning ouside of school and the moral justifications of piracy”. But I was thinking about collaboration and the way that thoughts flow. That is what I enjoy so much about this blog is that my thoughts can just flow and others can see it, but how many tools really let us do that?
My Idea
So this was my thought. A web based program that would transcribe text to speech from any internal or 3rd party input device. But unlike your average text to speech software this would be built like an idea web. As you talk it would be constantly scanning databases and the web and definitions of words etc, to know when a topic has changed, and create a new node in the web. It would also be intuitive enough to detect natural punctuation. It would have a built in database of keywords that would trigger things to happen, for instance if you said the keyword ideas, it would start a list of ideas.
It would also have the ability to index these brainstorm webs, tag them, and notate them, so a record is kept. It also would be able to index and tag and notate other files and information from the internet much like Zotero.
Pretty wicked awesome right? I thought so. Anyways that was my thought.
