MeetNotes is a voice recorder with transcription for iPhone and Android, and your phone is the recorder, so there is no device to buy. Press record, and when you stop you get the full transcript with each speaker named and timestamped, plus a summary, the decisions, and the to-dos with an owner and a due date when one was said. There is no language to choose first: sentences that switch from Hindi to English, or Spanish to English, are transcribed as spoken. Every account starts with 100 free minutes.
For: Anyone who records conversations and then has to listen back: meetings, interviews, client visits, classes, voice notes to yourself
Free to start · 100 minutes included

How long have you been running the shop here?
00:42Pachees saal ho gaye. My father started it in 1999.
00:47And the online orders — when did those start?
02:10Open MeetNotes and tap record, then put the phone between the people talking, screen up. On iPhone you can also start from Control Center, the Action button or Siri ("Record with MeetNotes"). The screen can go off; the recording keeps going.
The recording uploads and is transcribed. There is no language to set and no speaker setup beforehand.
Rename "Speaker 1" to a real name. The transcript, the notes and the PDF use it, and voices you have named are recognised in later recordings.
Search the text, tap a line to hear it, and share the notes as a PDF, a Word file, text for WhatsApp or a link.
Recording a meeting on an iPhone for the first time? Step by step, with the built-in Voice Memos option too: how to record a meeting on iPhone.
| Phone's built-in recorder | MeetNotes | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | An audio file | The audio, the full text and written notes |
| Finding one sentence | Scrub through the audio | Search the text; tap a line to hear it |
| Who said it | You have to remember | Each line labelled by speaker, with names you confirm once |
| What was agreed | You write it up | Decisions and to-dos, each to-do with an owner |
| Mixed languages | Not applicable | Transcribed as spoken, no language to set |
| Sending it to someone | A large audio file | A PDF, a Word file, text for WhatsApp, or a link |
Every line with the speaker and a timestamp. Voices you have named are recognised in later recordings.
A summary, key points, decisions and action items with owners, generated from the recording.
Ask a question about what was said and get the answer with the exact line it came from.
Self mode sorts what you say into to-dos, reminders and ideas, in a private space that never appears in a shared workspace.
Each to-do carries the person who took it on, and a due date when one was said. Nobody has to write the follow-up list after the meeting.
The To-dos tab gathers the open items from every recording, sorted into overdue, today, this week and later. Tick one off when it is done.
Assign a to-do to a person and it moves to a shared list with them. WhatsApp opens on their chat with the link to join, and you see when they tick it off.
Send someone all of their open items on WhatsApp in one message, or set a due date with a reminder on your phone.
The to-dos follow you into other apps too: a To-dos table in Notion that ticks off both ways, the to-dos in every Slack message, and "what are my to-dos?" on WhatsApp.
Real conversations switch language mid-sentence. MeetNotes does not ask which language you will speak: it transcribes what was said, as it was said, and writes the notes in the language you choose, any of 110. Transcription is strongest in widely spoken languages and the major Indian languages; for a less common one, try a short recording on the free minutes first. See languages.
AI recorder gadgets clip to your phone or hang on a lanyard, and they need charging, pairing and an app anyway. MeetNotes uses the microphone you already carry. Put the phone in the middle of the table for a meeting, or keep it in your hand for an interview. The full comparison, including when a device is the better choice: MeetNotes vs Plaud.
If the recording is already on your phone (a voice memo, a WhatsApp voice note, a file from a dictaphone), import it or share it to MeetNotes and it is transcribed the same way. See audio to text.
A voice recorder that also writes down what it heard. MeetNotes records on your phone, then gives you the transcript with speaker names and timestamps, a summary, the decisions, and the to-dos with owners.
