The /now Garden
I don’t listen to many audiobooks, but when I do, I often wish for a way to capture some quote or reference without having to manually transcribe it. Luckily, by using tools that do one thing well and that embrace automation and interoperability, I’ve achieved this. The apps involved are Highlighted , Overcast , and VoiceExpress . These are then tied together with Shortcuts.
I’ve used Highlighted for nearly three years, and over time, it has become a delightful record of the books I have read.
I download my audiobooks in a DRM-free format, usually from Libro.fm , and then upload them to Overcast in order to take advantage of Smart Speed. (Uploads are a feature of the $10/year subscription, which I happily pay.)
