Re-reading your posts, I conclude that Siri or its Android equivalent isn't a solution. Nuance also distribute a recording app for i-devices: that, plus some form of automation for holding, uploading,...
As far as I know, a solution to meet your exact requirements doesn't exist (yet). You could probably get near to them using Siri on an iDevice, or its equivalent on Android (I'm sorry, I'm unfamiliar ...

I wanted to add something about iPad keyboard cases (which is why there's a second piece of Dr A's post in my post above).

Season's greetings to all, but in particular to jaslar, Steve Z. and Paul Korm above.
I agree that there appear to be no great exciting seismic shifts in software on the horizon (although the force o...

Interesting. Thanks, Franz. Papyrus is highly rated by a German author whose work I respect. Its website says that an English version was expected in the autumn this year, although I haven't seen evid...

I should have said - thanks for the tip-off, Franz. As it happens, I'm already "invested" - otherwise I'd have acted on your tip.
But top 5s/home screens/favourites comprise a perennial interest. Fra...

The 2014 BBC Reith Lectures (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/6F2X8TpsxrJpnsq82hggHW/dr-atul-gawande-2014-reith-lectures) touch on the themes of teamwork and collaboration. I suspect that a gr...
