Transcription, punctuation, cleanup, a title, key points and action items, all handled. ■ Say it, and the card is there Your recording is transcribed and rewritten into clean, readable prose — 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. ■ 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 — "Alice", "the client" — and the whole nnds on the wrong person, tap it and reassign. ■ 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. ■ Keep asking Ask anything about a note and get an answer grounded in the full recording.
