Does anyone use voice assistants, like Siri

to note lens-camera settings and other relevant scenic information?

I've tried the notebook but when its below freezing or you have to move-on its not convenient.

Thoughts?

I don't like it when computers talk - it kind of freaks me out.  😳

As you mention Siri I presume you use an iPhone.  In which case you don't need Siri just use the Voice Recorder App.  If it's a newish version you can use Control Centre, Shortcuts or the Assertive Access functions to assign a double or treble back tap to open the app or possibly even better get an Apple Watch and use the same app on there and you won't even need to take your phone out of your pocket.

No, but that's a good idea.  You'd still have to transcribe the info to paper but you can do it at home.

Me too, they sound human but are still dumber than rocks.

Yes I use an iPhone and was looking for a 'hands free' solution.  I tried your suggestion of using the voice recorder app via Siri but you still need to press the record button. It is still easier than pulling out a notebook and fumbling with a pencil!!
