Talking is easier than typing. dyeary is a journal you speak to: talk for a minute about your day, and it writes the entry for you. Clean prose in your own voice, titled and ready to look back on. While you talk, dyeary listens for how you felt. Every entry carries its mood, from joy to calm to tired, sensed from your words and the sound of your voice. Over time your days paint a picture: the people, places, and things you keep coming back to, and the feelings tied to them. WHAT YOU GET • Speak an entry in about a minute. dyeary writes it, cleanly, in your voice. • Mood sensing on every entry, with the moments that carried each feeling. • Reflections: the subjects of your life, gathered automatically. Your people, your work, your walks. • A weekly review that plays your week back to you, set to music. • Read-along playback: your own voice, with the words lighting up as you speak. • Type instead whenever you want. Typed entries are always unlimited. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal is yours.
