Does so much more

I downloaded this thinking it was just a transcript app that saved the text to read back. I was surprised that it was much more than that. Being able to summarize all the main points of the meetings helps to sift through all the fluff. It also gives questions to ask that could help with actionable steps after the meeting. I’m still getting familiar with the app but so far it has exceeded expectations.

Love it

Currently using for both daily work meetings, as well as with my private clients for personal training.
Allows me to be hands-free while working with clients and keeps me from the distractions of note taking. Love the ability for it to create summaries for my hour long meetings into easy to digest material. Would definitely recommend giving this a try!
