They discuss new iPhone features like live voicemail transcription, voice isolation for clearer calls, and creating custom stickers from photos. Sorg reviews the Wellitory app which analyzes Apple Watch data to provide health ratings and recommendations for better sleep, exercise, and reducing stress. The hosts also explore iOS accessibility features that allow you to record your voice before potential speech loss, and then use it for text-to-speech. Plus, updates to ChatGPT like new voice and image capabilities, though concerns remain around impersonation and fraud. Podnar demos Google's Bard AI extensions which summarize your personal info and activities from Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and more. And the gang chats about the complexities of purchasing dinosaur fossils, after Dudders learns skeleton "Barry" is being auctioned for over $1 million. They get tips from ChatGPT on fundraising ideas. Finally, Dudders raves about the new cozy Aldi-branded apparel line with sweatshirts, tees and pajamas perfect for working from home. 54:26 no This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, and Sidekick Media Services and listeners like you at www.patreon.com/awesomecast New iPhone features Live voicemail - see live transcription of voicemails as they're left Voice isolation - isolate voice from background noise on calls Stickers from photos - make stickers from your photos Wellitory app https://welltory.com/ Tracks health data from Apple Watch Provides stress, energy, and health ratings Makes recommendations like sleep, exercise, meditation iOS accessibility features https://www.facebook.com/DavidPodnar/videos/2041087876262032?idorvanity=323401861015051 Voice recording before speech loss Allows text to speech with own voice For conditions like ALS ChatGPT updates https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-can-now-see-hear-and-speak  New voice capabilities - can talk to ChatGPT Can provide images to ChatGPT for context Concerns over impersonation and fraud Google Bard AI extensions Integrates with Gmail, YouTube, Maps, etc. Can summarize your info and activities Useful for searching personal data Buying a dinosaur skeleton https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/dinosaur-known-barry-goes-sale-rare-paris-auction-2023-09-18/ Auctioning skeleton "Barry" Could cost over $1 million ChatGPT's tips on fundraising Aldi branded apparel https://www.aldi.us/en/products/aldi-gear/ New sweats, tees, pajamas, more Cute, cheap cozy clothes Good for working from home Subscribe to the Podcast: awesomecast.com Sorgatron Media Podcast Network Feed: sorgatronmedia.fireside.fm Join our AwesomeCast Facebook Group to see what we’re sharing and to join the discussion!
