Read full description

Canto is an AI note taker and voice recorder for meetings, lectures, interviews and voice memos. Record for hours, get an accurate transcript in any language, and let Canto write the title, summary and action items so you never scrub through audio again. TRANSCRIBE ANY LANGUAGE Speak Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, or switch between languages mid-sentence. Transcription works regardless of the app's language, and speakers are separated automatically so conversations read like a script. KNOW WHO SAID WHAT Canto learns the voices of the people you record with. Name a speaker once and every future transcript labels them automatically. MEETING NOTES, WRITTEN FOR YOU Every recording gets an AI title, a summary and action items the moment transcription finishes. Templates turn a transcript into meeting minutes, a study guide or an interview write-up with one tap. SEARCH EVERYTHING Semantic search finds the moment you're thinking of, even when you don't remember the exact words. Ask a question and jump straight to the answer. CHAT WITH YOUR RECORDINGS Ask anything about a single recording or across your whole library. Canto answers with sources, so you can tap straight to where it was said. SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM Send a recording to a colleague by email, share it with your organization, or post a link. Keep everything organized in folders. BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS Reliable background recording that survives interruptions, uploads that finish even when you switch apps, and efficient audio that won't fill up your phone. YOUR LANGUAGE Choose from 16 languages for the app and its AI-written titles, summaries and answers, while transcription keeps working in every language you speak. Sign in with Apple or Google. Your recordings are yours. Delete your account and data at any time.
