Tell it out loud
You hit record, talk for two minutes, and the app transcribes and lightly edits. For days when writing is exhausting but telling isn't.
The problem
Some anecdotes get told, not written. They have rhythm, pauses, "wait, no — before that, something else happened." Typing kills them. And on the days you come home tired, the idea of opening an editor pushes you away.
What Anecdotario does
You hit the mic button (on any dashboard screen), you talk, and the app:
- Transcribes in colloquial Spanish — understands "vos," "che," informal speech, local proper names. It doesn't translate you to neutral Spanish.
- Keeps the original audio. The transcript is editable text, but the audio stays alongside. When you generate a podcast later, you can use your own original voice.
- Edits just enough. Strips out "uhs," "ums," obvious repetitions. It doesn't rewrite what you said — it just cleans it.
- Suggests chapter and people. Same as free mode: detects which stage you're talking about, which people you mentioned, links to the graph.
When it's the best entry point
- In the car, driving, when something occurs to you (hands-free, "Hey Anecdotario, anecdote").
- After visiting your parents — everything's fresh and you don't want to lose it.
- When you're tired and writing is too much.
- For long anecdotes with detail — voice flows more.
Why it matters
The biggest friction in writing your life isn't the idea — it's sitting down to type. Lowering that friction to one click means you'll capture ten times more material. Audio is the most natural way to tell. Anecdotario treats it as a first-class citizen, not as an "accessibility feature."
Sometimes you don't want an AI to interview you — you want to write whatever you feel like. Free mode is exactly that: a blank page, no questions, no forced structure.
I want to tell my life story but I don't know where to begin — an AI interviews you chapter by chapter and structures your answers.
