Record meetings

Your microphone and the call audio, transcribed live.

  • Mic and system audio

    Zoom, Meet, Teams, or a podcast. No bots join your call.

  • One-click moments

    Mark a decision while it's said. It's waiting in the notes later.

  • Stays out of the way

    Switch apps; a small recording panel keeps the latest line in view.

Edit and search

Click any line to hear it. Edits save automatically; the original is kept.

Search

Search every transcript you've ever made: titles, speakers, and words.
