Voice Journaling
I could help you if you need it regarding the CustomBlockEmbed to enable this feature.
I am deciding whether to store them seperately from editor or inside editor. Will look for some inspiration first.
But I have idea of how we can save them. In StoryPad, we had a table call Assets, which we use to save image. We can use that to save voice.
It is also easy to backup because I already had logics to backup & upload all assets to cloud.
What we need is just save it to db and render UI.
You could save the file URL in the Embed, and just cache the value you need (saves you from downloading said audio). I mention using URLs because it would be better to have that (you can internally accept base64, bytes or URLs), since certainly, storing bytes or base64 in Flutter Quill's Json would increase the size unnecessarily.
This reduces some of the hassle. But with this comes a small detail that I'll fix soon: How do you know when it's deleted? We can make a checker when the document is going to be saved in the lastest_content, but that would be expensive, and to be honest, it's putting unnecessary code, when the solution for Flutter Quill is simple: add the ability to listen to deletions made through the keyboard.
Every asset in the assets table will be stored in file only, we will not use base64.
@theachoem I was reading through this issue and got curious — is the voice recording feature mainly about storing and playing audio, or does it also consider speech-to-text input?
I’ve had some experience with STT in Flutter, so I was just wondering if that might be relevant here.
