## What is TalkingNote?

TalkingNote turns conversations into text as they happen. In a meeting, a class, an interview or a chat with someone who speaks another language, start recording and every sentence appears on screen as soon as it is spoken. Turn on live translation and the translation shows up right under each line. When you stop, AI turns the recording into meeting notes and to-dos in one tap.

Live transcription
· 15 languages with automatic detection, including speech that mixes languages
· Tells speakers apart, each in their own color, and you can rename them any time
· Mark key moments while recording
· Keeps recording offline and fills in the transcript once you are back online

Live translation
· Two-way: two languages translated into each other, whoever speaks which
· One-way: everything translated into the language you choose
· Turn it on or switch languages mid-recording; it applies right away

AI summaries
· Templates for meeting notes, key points, to-do lists, interviews and study notes
· Or write your own instructions, and keep refining the result
· Every conclusion is timestamped, so you can jump back to what was said

Clean and simple
· No ads; the app opens straight to your recordings
· Search titles and full transcripts, organize with folders
· Export to Markdown, plain text or PDF, or export the audio
· Import existing audio from Files to transcribe
· Light and dark mode, 9 interface languages

Privacy
Recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on your iPhone. When you transcribe or summarize, the content is relayed through our server to our processing providers on the fly; our server does not store it.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-28

NEW
1. iPad support: your recordings and the open one side by side, with the transcript and AI Summary in view together.
2. Live transcript on the Lock Screen: while recording, the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the timer and the latest lines, with Pause and Stop buttons.
3. Smarter Voice Recognition: people you've saved are recognized and named while you record; mixed-up speakers are corrected by voice as you go and tidied again when you stop, at no extra minutes. Voiceprints stay on your phone.
4. Edit while recording: fix typos mid-recording, replace a word everywhere and add it to Custom Vocabulary; select several lines and move them to one speaker at once.

IMPROVED
1. Redesigned AI Summary: templates as cards that are easier to pick; refine a summary by asking follow-ups in the same summary.
2. Redesigned Export: preview and edit before exporting, with each speaker in their own color.
3. Deleting a recording and similar actions now always ask first.

SHARING & UPDATES
1. Recommend to a Friend: share a poster and message in one tap, with your own referral code once signed in.
2. You'll be told when a new version is out, and important news appears as in-app announcements.
3. Me → More Apps: see the other apps we make.

FIXED
1. The recording timer stopped after going back to Home.
2. After turning on translation or reconnecting, speakers were relabeled as A and B.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-10-23

• New: voiceprints (optional). Save the people you often record in Me → People, and future recordings label them by name automatically. Voiceprints are computed and stored only on your device, never uploaded.
• More reliable live transcription: it no longer drops when you pause for a while, and short network drops are recovered automatically.
• Uses less battery while recording. "Keep screen on while recording" is now off by default.
• Default categories now follow the app language, and recordings without a transcript get a title in your language.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-22

No release notes.
