So, you're sure that documentation gives me an easier way to do this? Page 266 gives me the exact 18 steps I am already using:

U & then Enter to unlock
Enter to menu
Swipe right to get to first page of icons
Swipe up to icons
Swipe right to Remember
Enter to open the app
Swipe down three times to get to the bottom icons
Swipe right to get to voice note
Press Enter for Voice Note
Press Enter to Record
Press Enter when Done
Press back to get out
Press Enter on Save to save the voice note
Press back to get out
Press Save to save the note
Press back twice to minimize, then close, Remember

And what about managing voice notes without being required to associate them with notes. I do not need notes--only voice notes, unless there are voice-to-text options there somewhere. I am looking through the BB Assistant documentation, but it is all still very new and unclear to me, and I posted here to get a jumpstart to the things I need most.
