  2. Create a new note: Create a new note in your vault and select the "Audio Note" template from the dropdown menu.
  3. Start recording: Start listening to your audio file, and when you want to take a note, pause the audio and swipe down to create a new quote block.
  4. Add quotes: Add any personal thoughts or notes below the newly-generated quote block.
