Worth knowing
Talknotes
- The pricing page lists no free plan: after a 7-day trial it costs $19.97 a month or $197 a year, and the terms say all sales are final.
- An internet connection is required, and unlimited usage is subject to a fair usage policy in the terms.
- The FAQ says notes longer than 20 minutes use credits on a Pro plan, which the pricing page does not list or explain.
- There is no native desktop app: on a computer it is installed from Chrome as a web app, and Safari and Firefox are not supported for that.
Whisper Memos
- iPhone and Apple Watch only: the App Store listing says it is designed for iPhone and not verified for macOS, and no Android or web app is offered.
- There is no free plan. The app is free to try, then needs a subscription at $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year.
- Transcription happens online: memos recorded offline are saved on the device and uploaded once a connection returns.
- Each recording is limited to 90 minutes, and imported audio must be an audio-only file; video files are rejected.
Key features
Talknotes
- One-button recording
- A single button starts a recording in the web app or the mobile apps, and recording carries on in the background while other things are open.
- Premade and custom styles
- More than 100 premade styles shape the output as a note, task list, journal entry, email, blog post, video script or social post, and custom styles follow your own instructions.
- Transcription in 50+ languages
- Recordings are transcribed in more than 50 languages, with an automatic language option, and both the note and its transcript can be edited afterward.
- Audio file uploads
- Existing audio files in several formats can be uploaded and turned into notes, which the vendor suggests for recorded phone or video calls.
- Export and share links
- Notes export as PDF, plain text or Markdown, go out by email or message, or can be made public and shared through a link.
- Zapier, webhooks and WhatsApp
- Zapier and webhooks pass finished notes to other apps, and a WhatsApp bot transcribes voice messages inside WhatsApp.
Whisper Memos
- One-tap recording on iPhone and Watch
- Recording starts from a Lock Screen widget, an Apple Watch complication, the Action Button, Back Tap or Siri. The Watch app records on its own without the iPhone nearby.
- Transcripts delivered by email
- Each memo is transcribed, split into readable paragraphs and emailed with its summary by default, so it can be dealt with later from the inbox.
- Choice of transcription models
- An Automatic setting picks a model for each recording, or you can choose one yourself, such as OpenAI Whisper or ElevenLabs Scribe. More than 50 languages are supported.
- Summaries with custom prompts
- Every memo gets an AI summary, and extra summary tabs can be defined with your own prompts, for example one that pulls out action items.
- Meeting mode
- Turning on Meeting mode produces a transcript organized by speaker, with an optional hint that up to 2 to 6 people will talk. Each speaker can then be given a name and a color.
- Integrations and agents
- Built-in Notion and Reflect integrations, Mail Drop, Zapier and webhooks send memos elsewhere, and named agents route a memo when its name is spoken at the start.
