Voice Notes

Hit record on a meeting, a lecture, or a thought in the car, and get back a full transcript and a short, structured summary — not another audio file you will never open again. AI Note Taker does the transcribing and the thinking on your iPhone. Speech becomes text through Apple's on-device speech engine, and that text is then analyzed with Apple's Natural Language framework to surface the parts you actually needed: what was decided, who has to do what, what the conversation was about, and how it felt. No account, no sign-up, no note server holding your recordings. WHAT YOU GET - A readable transcript of any recording, in 20 language options including English (US/UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi and Vietnamese - A short summary that pulls out the key sentences, so a long meeting reads in under a minute - Action items, decisions, topics, participants and overall sentiment extracted from the transcript automatically - Text lifted off paper, whiteboards and slides with the camera scanner, page by page, ready to copy - Audio and video you already have (m4a, mp3, wav, mp4, mov) turned into notes without playing them back - Notes filed into folders, searched by any word in the title, summary or transcript, and shared as clean text to Mail, Messages, Notes or anywhere else PERFECT FOR - Managers and consultants who leave every call owing someone a follow-up - Students turning a 90-minute lecture into revision notes the same evening - Journalists and researchers who need the exact quote, not a vague memory of it - Anyone who thinks out loud and wants those voice memos to become something readable WHY NOT JUST USE VOICE MEMOS? Voice Memos gives you a waveform. Two weeks later you still have to scrub through 47 minutes of audio to find the one sentence that mattered. Here the recording is transcribed, summarized and broken into action items and decisions as soon as it stops, and the whole archive is searchable by word. PRIVACY Recordings, transcripts and notes are stored in the app on your device. Transcription runs on-device through Apple's Speech framework whenever the model is available for the language you pick, and the summary and analysis are computed locally on your iPhone. There are no accounts and no ads. The only time the app reaches the internet is when you paste a video link and ask it to pull that video's public captions. FULL ACCESS AI Note Taker is unlocked with a single purchase. Full access includes unlimited recording and transcription, the complete AI breakdown (summary, action items, decisions, topics, participants, sentiment), unlimited folders, document scanning with OCR, audio and video file import, video caption import, and text export and sharing. Choose the weekly plan, the yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings; the lifetime option is a one-time purchase with no renewal. Record your next meeting and read the summary before everyone has left the room.
