What's New in Fieldnoter
1.9
October 20, 2026
A new welcome: record something yourself right away, or look at an example first. The speech model now comes with the install, so you can start straight away. Tap a word in the transcript to hear that moment again. Summaries have been rebuilt, by topic in the order of the conversation, with a length that grows with the recording. Before transcribing you choose how many people are speaking. On iPhones without Apple Intelligence you now start a summary yourself. Fixed: Fieldnoter could close during long sessions, especially when transcribing and summarizing ran at the same time. Ask and action items can be switched on in Settings, under Early access. Translation has been removed for now.
