Components
Standard Notes is a note taking application that puts particular emphasis on privacy & security. It is cross-platform and of course, completely open-source. It features unmatched simplicity, end-to-end encryption and powerful extensions
Proposal
Adding a voice note to the app will be a major plus as it will enable users record a note with voice if they are busy at the moment and they cant type. I suggest that the voice note feature be added to Standard notes. This will be of great help whenever there is something important to put down amidst busy schedule, one can swiftly record a voice not in no time and later get back to it when chanced. it makes it more easy to keep record of something you don't want to forget even when you are too busy to write note.
Mockups / Examples
The picture will explain how this will look like on standard note..
The voice note icon should be on the note menu bar for quick access, all the user need to do is click on it as shown on the picture below..
When you click on it, it will bring a drop down menu that has the record and play option. If it's a new notes the user will click record and it will start recording. If it's an already recorded note, the user will click play and start listening to it for writing...(See picture below)
Benefits
This is really going to improve the app and make it more smart, it will be of great help to the users as they will be able to save voice notes and put it into writing later. This will allow the users to do multiple things at a the same time. It will also contribute to the way users makes use of the app, It will be a lot smarter because of the ease of use and smart behavior. it will make it mored user friendly
