About

Sonory

Features
Read full description

Sonory records your conversations and gives you back what matters. One tap to start recording. When you're done, Sonory produces a faithful transcript, separates the speakers, then writes a structured summary: topics covered, decisions made, action items, next steps. RELIABLE RECORDING Audio is written to your phone while you record. You never lose a conversation to a network outage, an incoming call, or a locked screen. Upload happens afterwards, and resumes on its own. MULTILINGUAL TRANSCRIPTION French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. The language is detected automatically, or chosen by you. SUMMARIES IN THE RIGHT FORMAT Team meeting, interview, client check-in, consultation, training session: the note template adapts to what you recorded. PRIVACY FIRST Your recordings are stored in Switzerland. They are never sold, shared, or used to train models. No ads, no trackers. BEFORE YOU RECORD Recording a private conversation without the consent of those present is illegal in Switzerland (art. 179bis and 179ter of the Swiss Criminal Code) and in France (art. 226-1 of the French Criminal Code). Sonory reminds you of this and offers an audible start-of-recording signal. You remain responsible for obtaining the necessary consents. The free plan includes 45 minutes of transcription per month. The Pro and Unlimited subscriptions, with automatic renewal, include more. Terms of Use (Apple's standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
