Read full description

Verbi is a lecture recorder and AI note taker: it turns lectures, meetings and interviews of any length into accurate text and a summary you can act on. Record in the app, import a file, or share audio in from another app. Verbi writes it down in 39 languages, tells the speakers apart, and summarizes it in the shape your lecture or meeting actually needs. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Any length โ€” an hour-long meeting or a whole lecture, transcribed from start to finish. โ€ข Summaries that write themselves โ€” with Pro, every transcript comes with a summary. Your first one is free. โ€ข Told when it's ready โ€” leave the app while a long recording transcribes; Verbi lets you know when your notes are ready. โ€ข Record and transcribe โ€” hit record, get clean punctuated text back in seconds. โ€ข Live transcription โ€” watch the words appear as you speak. โ€ข Bring your own audio โ€” import from Files, share in from any app, or paste a video link. โ€ข 39 languages plus auto-detect โ€” English, Spanish, French, German, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and more. โ€ข Speaker detection โ€” see who said what, and give each voice a name. โ€ข Ask the transcript โ€” chat with a recording and get answers drawn from what was actually said. โ€ข Translation โ€” read any transcript in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian. โ€ข Custom vocabulary โ€” teach Verbi the names, companies and acronyms it keeps getting wrong. โ€ข Meeting reminders โ€” Verbi reads your calendar and nudges you to record when a meeting starts. โ€ข Export โ€” copy the text for free; with Pro, share or save as TXT or PDF. SUMMARIES THAT MATCH THE MOMENT Choose the template and the summary comes back structured for it: general meeting, 1:1, daily stand-up, weekly review, lesson notes, idea capture, action items, email draft, blog post. Every summary sticks to what was actually said: sections nobody talked about are left out, and to-do lists name owners and due dates only when someone stated them. WHO IT IS FOR โ€ข Students โ€” record the lecture or class, get study notes. โ€ข Professionals โ€” capture the whole meeting, keep the decisions, stop writing notes. โ€ข Journalists and creators โ€” transcribe an interview in minutes. โ€ข Everyone โ€” voice notes you can search. FREE AND PRO Free: 60 minutes of transcription a month, recordings kept for 15 days, basic live transcription, and your first AI summary on us. Verbi Pro: unlimited transcription, unlimited AI summaries, speaker detection, chat with the transcript, translation, sharing and export to TXT and PDF, high-quality live transcription and unlimited history. PRIVACY Your recordings and transcripts are stored on your phone; Verbi has no account and no cloud sync. To transcribe, the audio is sent to our speech-to-text providers, usually through our server, and summaries, chat and translation send the transcript text to our AI provider. Usage analytics never include your recordings or transcripts, and you can turn them off in Settings.
