Capture a meeting discussion, talk through a lesson, or save an idea before it slips away. SEE YOUR WORDS AS YOU SPEAK Tap record to transcribe with Apple's native speech recognition. Confirmed text stays clear while a blue cursor follows new words. Choose Chinese, English, Japanese, or Korean on the home screen before recording, matching the language being spoken. MAKE LONG NOTES USEFUL Create a summary, detailed recap, key points, meeting notes, or action items. Copy the result, save it separately, or keep it with the original text. Review AI-generated content before relying on it. FIND YOUR WAY BACK Notes are stored on your device. Search, edit, sort, and delete them, so a quick thought can become something you return to and build on. PREPARE YOUR VOCABULARY Add names, product terms, and specialist vocabulary to your personal dictionary to provide hints for speech recognition. KNOW WHAT YOU SHARE Transcription and local notes work without an account. The app does not retain original audio recordings. Speech recognition may require a network connection depending on your device, system, and language. AI summaries use on-device capabilities when available.
