Brain Dump
One long ramble in, a list of separate tasks out. For the moments when you have six things in your head and no interest in typing six times.
Voice capture takes one sentence and makes one task. Brain Dump is the other shape of the same idea: keep talking, and Todome keeps splitting what you say into tasks as you go.
It is built for the end of a meeting, the drive home, or the ten minutes before bed when everything you have been holding onto surfaces at once.
Using it
- Open Brain Dump from the microphone menu, or from the command palette.
- Pick your language from the dropdown. It is remembered for next time.
- Start talking. Cards appear as you speak — you do not have to stop and wait at the end.
- Pause briefly between items. About a second of silence is what tells Todome one thought has finished and the next is starting.
- Review the cards, edit or delete any of them, then save.
Speaking so it splits well
The pause is doing the work. A short gap between items produces clean, separate tasks; a continuous stream tends to produce one long one.
| Works well | Comes out muddled |
|---|---|
| Call the electrician tomorrow. (pause) Send Priya the invoice. (pause) Book tickets before Friday. | Call the electrician tomorrow and send Priya the invoice and also book tickets before Friday |
Each finished phrase goes through the same parser as Quick Add, so dates and priorities spoken inside a sentence are picked up. Saying call the electrician tomorrow gives you a task dated tomorrow, not a task with the word tomorrow in its title.
Languages
The same ten Indian languages as voice capture — English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali and Punjabi. Choose the one you are about to speak before you start; unlike single-sentence capture, a long session works better when the language is set up front.
How it hears you
Where your browser supports live speech recognition, Todome streams what you say and parses each phrase the moment it finishes, which is why cards appear mid-sentence. Where it does not, the session is recorded and transcribed at the end instead — slower to appear, and it uses Sarvam’s Indic transcription, which is the stronger option for Indian languages.
You do not choose between them. Todome uses whichever your browser can do, and the result is the same set of cards.
Limits
A Brain Dump session counts against your daily voice captures, and there is a cap on how long a single recording can run — one minute on Free, five on Pro. See Plans and limits.
