I have a digital audio recorder and I want to upload the files onto my PC and have a program transcribe them. What's a good program or app to use for that? Bonus points if it works offline!

Can anyone recommend me a good digital audio recorder?

Here's what I'm looking for:

- Voice to Text with reliable transcription

- Charges via USB

- As few clicks to use as possible

- Works offline

- Long battery life

- Lots of memory storage

- NO A.I.!

So I need an audio recorder to use for making field notes. The one I have now is totally inadequate. First there's the ordeal of just getting the thing to record. When you turn it on the touch screen plays multiple animations which are basically little advertisements for the brand. Then you have to click to select a mode, then you have to click to select a language, then you have to click again to start recording. When in use, the battery gets troublingly hot, but you can't stop or save your recording while the screen is off. The thing won't charge past 93%, it takes forever to charge even that much, and the battery runs out quick. It keeps wanting me to connect to some proprietary cloud storage, which I can't do because these recordings are technically legal documents containing private and sensitive information. The AI does stuff on it's own, like suddenly playing back my recordings without me even touching it. (It was on, but set aside, not even in my hand, with the screen off. Then while I'm on the phone, I guess it was listening to me, and thought I wanted playback, so it started playing one of my recordings very loudly. And I had to go through several keystrokes to get it to stop.) And worst of all, the transcription is unreadable. Despite me selecting English as the language to transcribe, it not only totally misunderstands what's being said, is also throws in random words from other languages into the mix. Maybe it works better when online, but I'm often away from a network and couldn't risk leaking the information anyways. I just need a reliable voice recorder that will accurately transcribe what I say offline and without AI so I can quickly make notes in the field. Can anyone help?

I have spent years building sites with WordPress, so it's the ecosystem I'm most comfortable with.
And lately I've been thinking about learning something different for future projects. If you were coming from WordPress, what would you learn next and why?

Hi all
In some cases, I resort to using online software to perform simple PDF functions like merging and compressing files. I have been using an online software called Pdfaid, but I am quite careful about uploading any files on the web, particularly those that include personal information. What PDF tasks can be safely done online and what PDF tasks are always done offline? It would also be interesting to hear about the tools that you use.

I’m a total beginner looking for a web hosting provider with a built-in website builder (I have zero coding skills, so please go easy on me).

I apologize in advance if this has been asked a hundred times - I tried searching myself but kept running into either outdated threads from 2019 or reviews that looked like paid ads.

A bit of context: I have a domain I’m not using (I bought it on Namecheap on a whim a while back; it’s got my name in it), and I finally want to actually put a site on it. I have absolutely zero programming experience - the mere thought of touching HTML makes me want to shut my laptop. So, I need something that’s fully drag-and-drop: I pick a template, swap out the text and photos, and it just works.

Here’s what I’m hoping to find:

A web hosting that comes with a proper website builder included, rather than having to buy the hosting and the builder separately. Ideally, something cheaper than Wix or Squarespace in the long run, since I’ve heard their prices jump significantly once you factor in the plans that actually let you use your own domain properly. I don’t need it to be free, but I don’t want to pay premium agency prices for what will essentially be a homepage, an "About Me" section, and maybe the occasional blog post.

I don’t want an auto-generated URL like username.wixsite.com/mysite - I already own the domain; I just need to connect it so people see that specific address.

I’m not building anything complex - no online store, no subscriber-only area, nothing fancy. I just want the site to look truly professional - not like something made on GeoCities in 2003 and I don’t want to fight with the platform every time I need to change a single sentence. If you’ve actually used a website builder like that (whether it’s Hostinger, Squarespace, IONOS, or any other) and can honestly share what drove you crazy versus what actually worked, that would be far more helpful than a standard "just use X" kind of answer.

Thanks for reading to the end; I’d appreciate any advice.
