With the Zotero on Android, are we supposed to be able to download files from the library if we have files sync'd?

I'm syncing my account library. I am using a Supernote and can see the library. Now, I click on a file and see the button changes from a pdf icon with "?" (telling me it's not downloaded) to a "stop button", which tells me something should be happening. But it doesn't show a progress bar telling me it's actually downloading, and nothing ever opens.

I would love to be able to just upload files to Zotero and use that as my main reader. Right now I upload to Zotero and separately to my device.

Thank you for any insights on how to use Zotero for reading on my android run device!

Has anyone found a way to have digest entries automatically sync to Obsidian? Perhaps with Readwise?

Yesterday I had do search for a note I vaguely remembered taking but couldn’t remember where. Obsidian is where I’m trying to centralize exactly for this reason. After a while I thought I may be on digest and it was. Would have saved me sometime if I had it synced to obsidian for the search.

I use Obsidian for a lot of research, Zotero for managing sources.
Recently I realized what a great source podcast episodes can be. That led me to Snipd. I like how I can “snip” sections, and import into Obsidian. This allows me to potentially use them as sources I can cite.

But I’m not too happy with:
Lack of desktop player
Sometimes convoluted player
Difficult to find the episodes I’m interested in
Doesn’t give me a source link, just the Snipd link, which if I reference others can’t play without also having the app (eg can’t play on a desktop)

In sum, it’s a great resource but seems like there should be a better tool for this purpose.

Any suggestions on alternatives?

Or, any suggestions on a Snipd query template or other tips that may work well?

The snip template is a bit tricky to get right to produce the info I’m hoping for.

When using my Plaud Note Pro, it seems like I need to transfer the recordings to my phone first to then be able to access it through the website.

Is there anyway I could use my computer to retrieve recordings from the device? Sometimes I'd really prefer to skip my phone if I can as it is one more step in between where I will mostly pull my notes and the device.

Occasionally I’m in the middle of something where I don’t want to stop but really want to capture a thought that will fit well into my obsidian vault. I just want to capture a handful of words so later I can revisit it and create a proper note for self on the topic. This usually happens when my phone is with me, not on a computer.

I’m using an iPhone. Wish I could do a long press of the app to bring up an option to insert into today’s note as a “review these”. I don’t know if I like the idea of creating a new note for these as I later have to remember to find it and work on it. I’m playing around with options.

What have you found to be the best way to very quickly capture these into Obsidian so you can later work on it a bit more to connect dots and incorporate into your work?

Have had my Plaud for a couple of months, and so far it’s been flawless. But today I recorded an important meeting for which I could have used points from the summary right after. Yet it is stuck and not generating any summaries.
I first tried it on my phone, as I usually do. Then desktop. And it’s just stuck “generating” but never putting out a summary.

The transcript is there.

Anyone know what may be going on?
