The purpose is to make recording work smarter in meetings and interviews. In some cases, the situation of the speaker and surroundings may be recorded in a notebook in time with the recording by the voice recorder. This application streamlines report work by synchronizing recordings and notes. - Recordings and notes You can take notes during recording. When writing a note, you can select the speaker from the seat chart that is automatically displayed when you enter the first character (the first character after Return). If you do not select, the same speaker as before will be used and the seating chart will be closed automatically. At this time, the time (input time) is recorded in the memo information according to the speaker. The maximum recording time for one recording is 5 hours. It is also possible to use only recording and memo input. - Playback and note confirmation When playing back a recording, you can check the information (speaker, time) recorded in the note at the same time according to the audio time, reducing the workload for creating minutes. - seating chart There are two types of seating charts: a conference table format (10 people x 4 sides: up to 40 people can be registered) and a seminar format (10 people x 10 rows: up to 100 people can be registered). - Share The recorded data (m4a file format) and memo information (text format) can be saved in the iCloud folder or linked to other compatible applications.

Read full description

An enhanced version of HiMemo, an easy and convenient hierarchical memo app, is now available! For example, there is a surprising amount of information that has a hierarchical structure, such as information linked to regions and organizational charts. Normally, such information is recorded in bulleted list format in the memo app, but adding or editing information is surprisingly troublesome. Inadvertently, problems such as breaking the hierarchical relationship will occur. With HiMemo2, information can be recorded hierarchically with a simple operation like bulleted list format, and it is easy to add or modify. It is also possible to display a tree that gives a bird's-eye view of the whole, and to export information to other apps and SNS in plain text format or HTML format. Features of HiMemo2. - You can easily enter and manage data with a hierarchical structure. - Share data between multiple iPhones, iPads, Macs (sync with the same Apple ID). - You can browse the data on your Apple Watch. The following functions have been enhanced and improved from HiMemo. - Data is synchronized with HiMemo. - Linked with Apple Watch.
