Invaluable Tool

Wow. This app is a great tool to capture notes for meetings and then to summarize them. It detects action items and creates a list. It highlights key points and as a bonus it live transcripts the audio. Reading along is more valuable than I had expected.

Awesome note taking app!

I have used this app a few times and it is so helpful and convenient! I love how simple it is to use and I noticed that the spelling and punctuation is very accurate. I highly recommend it! Thank you.

AI Note Taker

One of the best apps !!

Amazing

Basil is one of the most privacy-focused AI note-taking apps I’ve tried. Everything runs on your device, so meeting recordings, transcripts, and summaries never leave your iPhone. I like how it works offline, supports dozens of languages, and makes organizing notes simple with searchable transcripts and exports. It’s an excellent choice for anyone who handles confidential meetings or values privacy. 🔒📝
