and then you couldn't follow the meeting 'cause you were so busy taking notes?

Or when your dad told you all 15 ingredients in his famous chili

and then you promptly forgot 12 of them?

Or that time you recorded that two-hour lecture and it turned into this?

And then you couldn't remember where to find the part you needed to remember.

It was at the beginning, right?

Man: A model in which volatility is inevitable--

Woman: No, you know what, maybe it was at the end of this long, nondescript bar.

Man: The basic conceptual framework--

Woman: Ugh. Everything would be so much easier if recording got smarter.

Like what if it could recognize and label sounds as you record them?

Wow, how about some applause?

No, for real. Could it find applause?
