  audioRecordings: [],
  videos: [],
  isFavorite: false,
  tags: ["work", "meeting"]
};

await createNote(newNote);

Recording Audio

// Start audio recording
const recording = new Audio.Recording();
await recording.prepareAsync(Audio.RECORDING_OPTIONS_PRESET_HIGH_QUALITY);
await recording.startAsync();

// Stop and save
await recording.stopAndUnloadAsync();
const uri = recording.getURI();
