VoiceZero turns every meeting into organised, searchable notes — automatically. Hit record. VoiceZero captures everything said and delivers a clean summary the moment you stop: a TL;DR, key decisions, and every action item — ready to share before you've left the room. AI features require Pro; recording and transcription are free. ONE-TAP RECORDING — FREE No setup. No bots joining your call. No calendar integrations to configure. Press record, have your meeting, get your transcript. AI SUMMARY — PRO Every recording produces a TL;DR, key decisions, and action items with owners — generated from what was actually said, not a template. Works on any iPhone or iPad: uses Apple Intelligence where available, or download Gemma directly in VoiceZero for the same AI features on any device. SEARCHABLE TRANSCRIPT — PRO Every word spoken is transcribed and indexed. Search across all your recordings to find any moment, any decision, any name. PRIVATE. ON-DEVICE. Transcription runs entirely on your device using Apple's built-in speech recognition, or switch to WhisperKit for higher accuracy (downloadable in Settings). Your audio never leaves your iPhone or iPad. No account required. ZERO SUBSCRIPTIONS Record unlimited meetings for free.
