Pulse Notetaker turns your meetings and voice notes into clear, structured documents. Record a conversation or dictate a quick note, and Pulse Notetaker transcribes it, works out what kind of meeting it was, and writes a polished summary you can share. Built for teams that already use Foxbyte Pulse, it keeps your recordings and notes on your device while your organisation's Pulse workspace handles secure sign-in and AI processing. KEY FEATURES • Record meetings — Capture in-person conversations in high quality. Recording keeps running while your screen is locked or you switch apps. • Dictate voice notes — Speak a quick thought and get back clean, readable text with suggested tags. • Accurate transcription — Your audio is turned into an accurate, readable transcript. • Automatic meeting summaries — Pulse Notetaker recognises the type of meeting and produces a structured summary using the right template — client meetings, team meetings, one-on-ones, meeting minutes, executive highlights, needs analysis and more. • Add context for better results — Note the client, attendees or purpose before, during or just after a meeting so titles, filenames and summaries come out right. • Refine and ask — Regenerate a summary, refine the wording, or ask follow-up questions about what was discussed. • Organise your library — Group related voice notes by theme and keep everything searchable in one place. • Export and share — Export your notes and summaries as documents to share however you work. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on your device. Sign-in and AI processing are brokered securely through your organisation's Foxbyte Pulse workspace — Pulse Notetaker never stores your account credentials, and all data is encrypted in transit. REQUIRES A FOXBYTE PULSE ACCOUNT Pulse Notetaker is designed for organisations using Foxbyte Pulse. You sign in with your existing work account (via your organisation's Pulse workspace) — there is no separate sign-up. If your organisation doesn't use Pulse yet, visit foxbyte.nz to learn more.
