Recoda β voice notes, made polished. Meetings, interviews, lectures, something you thought of on the way home β hold to record and let Recoda do the rest. Transcription, punctuation, cleanup, a title, key points and action items, all handled. β Say it, and the card is there Your recording is transcribed and rewritten into clean, readable prose β not a wall of "um" and "you know". Recoda titles the note for you too, so you can tell your cards apart at a glance. β Multiple speakers, told apart automatically When more than one person is talking, Recoda separates the speakers and lays the note out turn by turn. Give each of them a name β "Alice", "the client" β and the whole nnds on the wrong person, tap it and reassign. β To-dos you don't have to write down Recoda pulls out the things that actually need doing, and picks up the time you mentioned: "draft by Wednesday 3pm"becomes a to-do with a due time. Add up to three reminders each so nothing slips. Drag to reorder, edit any time. β Keep asking Ask anything about a note and get an answer grounded in the full recording.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Recoda at none against TermAI's 2. Recoda also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). TermAI's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
